Expert root canal treatment in Union Square — gentle, precise, and far less intimidating than you think. Most patients are surprised by how easy it actually is.

Most root canal treatments are completed in one to two appointments of 60–90 minutes each. The exact duration depends on the complexity of the case and the extent of the infection. Dr. Ebrahimi will give you a clear timeline during your initial consultation at Smile Lab in Manhattan.
