Diagnosis & Imaging
Digital X-rays pinpoint the infection before we begin.
ENDODONTIC CARE
A Root Canal Doesn't Have to Be Scary
A tooth's life can be threatened by infected or damaged tissue inside it. Left untreated, this leads to pain, swelling, and eventually tooth loss. A root canal removes the infected pulp, stops the pain at its source, and lets you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it.
At Dual Arc Dental, Dr. Viral Patel, a Boston University-trained dentist with continuing education in endodontics, uses modern anesthetic technique and advanced 3D imaging to make treatment as comfortable as possible. Most patients are in and out in a single visit, with little to no pain during treatment and only mild soreness afterward.
If you've been searching for a root canal dentist near me, our Schertz office treats patients from Cibolo, Selma, and Universal City too.

Just wanted to do a shout out to Dual Arc Dental! I stuck with them after the previous owners sold through and happy I did. They have proven they are caring and understanding whether my needs have been small or very patient with me not only during my visits but with any queries in regards to the insurance.

GOOD TO KNOW
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
An infection inside a tooth doesn't always look the same. Here are some common signs that it may be time to schedule an exam:
Persistent Tooth Pain
Ongoing pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure.
Sensitivity to Hot or Cold
Pain that lingers well after the hot or cold is gone.
Swelling
Tenderness or swelling in the gums, jaw, or cheek.
Darkened Tooth
A tooth that's changed color, often a sign of internal damage.
Headaches or Jaw Aches
Referred pain from an infected tooth can radiate outward.
No Symptoms at All
Some infections only show up on an X-ray, a reason not to skip checkups.
Noticing any of these? An exam can confirm what's going on.

FAQ About Our Endodontics Service
Find answers to common questions about root canal treatment, recovery, insurance, and what to expect.
No. With modern anesthesia, most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild soreness afterward is usually managed with over-the-counter medication.
Persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a darkened tooth are common signs. Schedule an exam if you're noticing these.
General dentists can perform root canals; endodontists have specialized training for complex cases. Our team is trained to handle both routine and advanced endodontic procedures.
Most root canals are completed in a single visit, typically 60–90 minutes depending on the tooth.
Stick to soft foods for the first few days and avoid chewing directly on the treated tooth until it's fully restored.
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost. We also accept CareCredit and Cherry Financing for the remaining balance.
The infection doesn't resolve on its own. Delaying treatment increases pain and the risk of losing the tooth.
