The Root Canal Has a Reputation It Doesn’t Deserve.
Most people have never actually had a root canal, but are scared of the idea of one. The truth is, by the time you need a root canal, you’re already in pain. The root canal is what stops it. We do them in-house, same-day, and the most common thing we hear afterward is ‘that was it?’
What Actually Happens.
We numb the area completely, so you won’t feel pain, just pressure. Then we remove the infected tissue inside the tooth, clean the canal, and seal it. Most root canals take about an hour. We’ll pair it with a crown to protect the tooth long-term, and with our CEREC technology, that crown can be milled and placed the same day.
Same Day. In-House. No Referral.
We don’t send you across town to an endodontist and make you wait two weeks. Dr. Johnson and Dr. Bonner handle root canals in-house so you can get treated and get back to your life — today.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans the canal, and seals it to prevent further infection. It saves the natural tooth and eliminates the pain caused by the infection. At DentCare Now, root canals are performed in-house, same-day, with full numbing — no referrals, no waiting.

Do root canals hurt?
Not the way people imagine. By the time most patients need a root canal, they’re already in significant pain — the root canal is what gets rid of it. We numb the area completely before we start. Laughing gas and oral sedation are available if you need extra support. Most patients tell us they’re surprised by how manageable the whole thing was.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals take about an hour. If you need a crown to protect the tooth afterward — which we typically recommend — we can mill and place it the same day with our CEREC technology. One appointment, start to finish.
