Relieve pain and save your natural tooth with root canal treatment performed by endodontist Dr. Arya Tehrany.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside the tooth. It involves removing the damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the root canals), disinfecting the area, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. Root canals are typically needed when a tooth is severely decayed, cracked, or has an abscess.
At Bedford Dental Group, root canal therapy is performed by Dr. Arya Tehrany, an endodontist who holds a Certificate and a Master of Science in Endodontics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has treated patients in Los Angeles for more than 16 years. He uses digital imaging and gentle techniques to make root canal therapy efficient and comfortable. Our goal is to preserve your natural tooth structure while eliminating discomfort and restoring full function. If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity, a root canal in Beverly Hills may be the solution to save your smile. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Tehrany at Bedford Dental Group today.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Root Canal?
- Persistent Pain: You have ongoing toothaches or discomfort that worsens with pressure or temperature changes.
- Swelling or Abscess: You notice swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump on the gums near the affected tooth.
- Deep Decay: A cavity has reached the inner pulp of the tooth and cannot be treated with a filling alone.
- Tooth Trauma: A cracked, broken, or injured tooth has damaged the nerve or blood supply inside.
What to Expect During a Root Canal
- Consultation and Diagnosis: We examine the tooth, take digital X-rays, and determine whether root canal therapy is necessary.
- Local Anesthesia: The area is completely numbed, so you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Pulp Removal: Dr. Tehrany removes the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth and cleans the root canals.
- Canal Shaping and Disinfection: The canals are shaped and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prepare for sealing.
- Filling and Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection.
- Crown Placement (If Needed): In most cases, we recommend a custom crown to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
ROOT CANALS
Does a Root Canal Hurt?
Modern root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which keeps the area completely numb and comfortable. Most patients report that getting a root canal feels similar to having a filling placed. After treatment, mild tenderness may occur briefly but typically resolves within a few days.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Most root canal procedures can be completed in about 60 to 90 minutes during a single visit. However, the exact length of treatment depends on factors such as the number of canals in the tooth and the severity of the infection. In more complex cases, a second appointment may be scheduled to complete the procedure.
Will I Need a Crown After the Root Canal?
In many cases, yes. After a root canal, the treated tooth may become more fragile because the inner pulp has been removed. Placing a custom dental crown helps restore strength, protect the tooth from fractures, and allow normal chewing. Crowns are especially recommended for back teeth that experience greater biting pressure.
How Do I Know if I Need a Root Canal?
Common signs that a root canal may be needed include persistent tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling in the gums, or a darkening of the tooth. Sometimes an infection may also cause a small pimple-like bump on the gums. A dental exam and digital X-rays are used to confirm the diagnosis.
What Happens if I Don’t Get Treatment?
If an infected tooth is not treated, the infection can spread deeper into the surrounding tissues and bone. This may lead to worsening pain, swelling, abscess formation, and eventual tooth loss. Prompt root canal treatment removes the source of infection and helps preserve your natural tooth while protecting overall oral health.
