Endodontic Services in Charlotte, NC
Charlotte Root Canal Center offers eight endodontic services. All procedures are performed by Dr. Rush Sunar, DMD at our South Park office.
Root Canal Therapy
Removal of infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside a tooth. The canal system is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent reinfection. Saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction. Most root canals completed in a single visit.
Apicoectomy
Endodontic microsurgery to remove the tip of a tooth root and surrounding infected tissue when a conventional root canal has not resolved the infection. Performed under local anesthesia with a dental microscope for precision.
Cracked Teeth
Diagnosis and treatment of cracked, fractured, or split teeth. Early diagnosis is critical — cracked teeth can often be saved with endodontic treatment if caught before the crack extends below the gum line.
Emergency Dentistry
Same-day emergency appointments for severe tooth pain, dental trauma, knocked-out teeth, and dental infections requiring urgent treatment. Call (704) 375-4252 for immediate assistance.
Endodontics
Comprehensive endodontic diagnosis and treatment for all conditions affecting the dental pulp and root canal system. Dr. Sunar uses advanced imaging and microsurgical techniques for precise treatment.
Internal Bleaching
Whitening treatment for teeth that have darkened after root canal therapy. A bleaching agent is placed inside the tooth to restore natural color from within — a cosmetic solution unique to endodontic-treated teeth.
Tooth Sensitivity
Diagnosis and treatment of tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet, or pressure. Identifies the underlying cause — which may include pulp inflammation, cracked teeth, or exposed root surfaces — and provides targeted treatment.
Traumatic Dental Injuries
Emergency treatment for teeth damaged by accidents, sports injuries, or falls — including chipped, cracked, dislodged, or knocked-out teeth. Includes reimplantation, stabilization, and follow-up endodontic care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Root Canal Questions & Answers
What is a root canal?
A root canal is an endodontic procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside a tooth. The pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent reinfection. A crown is typically placed afterward to protect the treated tooth. Root canal therapy saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Does a root canal hurt?
No. Root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia and patients feel no pain during the procedure. Modern endodontic techniques make root canals no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Post-treatment soreness is mild and temporary, typically manageable with over-the-counter medication. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the experience is.
How long does a root canal take?
A root canal on a front tooth typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Molars with multiple canals may take 60 to 90 minutes. Most root canals at Charlotte Root Canal Center are completed in a single visit.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs include severe toothache or throbbing pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the stimulus is removed, darkening or discoloration of a tooth, swelling or tenderness in nearby gums, and a persistent pimple on the gums near the affected tooth. If you experience any of these symptoms, call (704) 375-4252 for an evaluation.
What is an apicoectomy?
An apicoectomy is endodontic microsurgery that removes the tip (apex) of a tooth root and surrounding infected tissue. It is performed when a conventional root canal has not fully resolved an infection at the root tip. The procedure uses a dental microscope for precision and is performed under local anesthesia.
Can a root canal save my tooth?
Yes. The purpose of root canal therapy is to save a tooth that is infected or severely damaged rather than extracting it. A properly treated tooth with a crown can last a lifetime with proper care. Saving the natural tooth maintains your bite, prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, and avoids the need for a dental implant or bridge.
How much does a root canal cost in Charlotte NC?
Root canal costs vary based on which tooth is affected and the complexity of the case. Front teeth cost less than molars because they have fewer canals. Charlotte Root Canal Center accepts most dental insurance plans and offers financing options for patients without coverage. Call (704) 375-4252 for specific pricing information.
