Root Canal Treatment, Hackensack and Paramus, NJ

What is Root Canal Treatment?

The root canal procedure is a dental treatment that aims to save diseased or injured teeth that might have been susceptible to extraction. Essentially, this treatment focuses on the inner pulp of a tooth, which is composed of nerve fibers, connective tissue, and blood vessels. The process involves the meticulous removal of the affected pulp with great care, disinfection of the tooth’s interior, and sealing it to prevent further infection. 

The benefits of this technique are immense since it aids in reducing any pain, preserving the natural tooth’s structural integrity, and consequently, restoring its function. Furthermore, after the root canal procedure, dental crowns may be used to fortify the tooth’s strength and safeguard it from further damage. Given the myriad of benefits of the root canal procedure, it is widely recognized in the dental industry as an invaluable treatment that restores the functionality of a patient’s teeth while reducing the need for extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Treatment

Answers for patients in Paramus, Hackensack, and Bergen County considering root canal treatment.

AC Dental at 4 Forest Ave Suite #202 in Paramus performs root canal treatment for patients from Hackensack, Maywood, Teaneck, Rochelle Park, and throughout Bergen County. Call (201) 489-1084 to schedule — most patients are seen within a few days.
At AC Dental in Paramus, root canal treatment typically runs $800–$1,500 depending on which tooth is involved — front teeth cost less than molars. Most dental insurance plans cover a significant portion. Call (201) 489-1084 and we'll verify your coverage before you come in.
The procedure itself is done under local anesthetic — you'll feel pressure but not pain. Most patients say it's no worse than getting a filling. Some soreness for 2–3 days afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter ibuprofen.
A root canal on a front tooth typically takes 60–90 minutes in one visit. Molars with more canals may require a second visit of similar length. Dr. Ghattas will give you a time estimate at your exam based on which tooth is affected and how complex the root system is.
In most cases, yes — especially for back teeth that take chewing pressure. A crown protects the treated tooth from fracturing. Dr. Ghattas will discuss this at your appointment and can often place a same-day crown at the same visit if needed.
An infected tooth won't heal on its own. Without treatment, the infection spreads to surrounding bone and can cause an abscess. Extraction becomes the only option at that point — and replacing an extracted tooth with an implant costs significantly more and takes longer than saving the tooth with a root canal now.
