With decades of experience on our side, we are able to identify dental health issues and help you to determine a treatment for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals

Is a root canal painful?

With modern anesthesia techniques, root canal treatment is typically painless. You may experience some mild discomfort afterward, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How long does a root canal procedure take?

The length of a root canal procedure varies depending on the complexity of the case. However, most root canals can be completed in one or two appointments.

Can I eat after a root canal?

It's best to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the numbness wears off. Once the anesthesia has subsided, you can resume a normal diet.

How long does it take to recover from a root canal?

Most patients recover quickly from a root canal. Any discomfort should subside within a few days.

Can I get a dental implant after a root canal?

Yes, a dental implant can be placed after a root canal to replace a missing tooth.

    "I can’t think of a better place to go for dental care."
    Dr. Jay and his staff are like family to me. Great dental care as always. I love working with Therese my hygienist. I can’t think of a better place to go for dental care.

    "Their kindness goes beyond routine pleasantries."

    Growing up as the youngest in a large family of six, and with finances often stretched thin, dental care simply wasn’t a priority for my hardworking parents. Because of that, getting fillings at age 54 was an entirely new experience for me. I’ll admit, I approached the appointment with a little apprehension. Thankfully, the staff here are exceptional. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Their kindness goes beyond routine pleasantries. They truly listen and engage in a way that feels sincere and personal. And the big question everyone asks: pain? None. Seriously. The most uncomfortable moment I had was when a stray beard hair got tugged. They explained every step clearly, checked in often, and made sure I felt in control throughout the process. What stands out most is the atmosphere. The team clearly enjoys working together. The laughter, friendliness, and professionalism speak volumes about how well this practice is run.

    "My comfort during the procedures was always a high priority."
    I have had extensive dental care with this practice since moving to Flint in 1996. Much of the work was major, and the reason for each procedure was always explained so I could understand why it was necessary. Also, my comfort during the procedures was always a high priority to Dr. Werschky and his assistants.

    "If you are in need of a GREAT dentist, try Drs. Werschky and Lewis!"
    I had a filling that came out. I was near the office and stopped in to see when I could get an appointment to get the tooth fixed. Sit down Rod and we’ll get you in shortly, was their reply. I was in the chair and getting my tooth fixed before I knew it. It was Monday and I know how Mondays are for anyone. I don’t and did not expect to get in so quick, but Drs Werschky and Lewis and the staff are so concerned about their patients I was not totally surprised. Thanks, If you are in need of a GREAT dentist, try Drs Werschky and Lewis!
