Root canal treatment that is genuinely comfortable — because Dr. Sumit Firke uses rubber dam isolation, BioCeramic sealers, and world-class anaesthesia. No fear. No multiple sittings in most cases.
With over 2000 root canal treatments completed at Tulip Dental, Dombivli, Dr. Sumit Firke has built a reputation for making one of dentistry's most feared procedures genuinely comfortable. He uses rubber dam on every single RCT — a standard of care that dramatically improves success rates and patient experience.
His use of BioCeramic sealers — the gold standard in endodontics — means better sealing, superior biocompatibility, and higher long-term success rates than conventional materials.
When a tooth becomes deeply decayed or infected, bacteria reach the soft inner tissue — the pulp — which contains nerves and blood vessels. This causes severe toothache. Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canal, and seals it permanently. The tooth is saved.
Saving your natural tooth is always better than extraction. Your own tooth is stronger, more natural-feeling, and preserves the surrounding bone. A root canal — done well — can last the lifetime of the tooth.
X-ray assessment of the canals. World-class local anaesthesia administered with a super-fine needle. Rubber dam placed to isolate the tooth — no saliva, no bacteria, complete control.
Infected pulp is removed under 5× magnification. Canals are cleaned, shaped, and thoroughly disinfected with antimicrobial irrigants. You feel nothing — only pressure at most.
Canals are sealed with BioCeramic sealer — the gold standard in endodontics. A temporary or permanent filling is placed. A crown is recommended for back teeth to protect the tooth long-term.
Many patients are told "just pull it out." Here is why saving your tooth with a root canal is almost always the better choice.
| Factor | Root Canal Treatment | Extraction |
|---|---|---|
| Tooth Saved | ✓ YES — your natural tooth remains | ✗ NO — permanent loss |
| Adjacent Teeth Affected | ✓ None — no neighbouring tooth touched | ✗ Bridge requires grinding 2 healthy teeth |
| Bone Preservation | ✓ Jawbone preserved around root | ✗ Bone loss begins immediately after extraction |
| Long-Term Cost | ✓ Lower — one treatment, tooth saved | ✗ Extraction + implant or bridge = significantly higher |
| Timeline | ✓ 1–2 visits in most cases | ✗ Extraction + replacement takes months |
No hidden charges. Written cost given before treatment begins. Crown cost is separate and depends on type selected.
Single-rooted front teeth — fastest, simplest RCT
Two-rooted premolar teeth — most common presentation
Multi-rooted molar teeth — full treatment, crown essential
4.9★ from 200+ Google reviews. These are real patients who came in dreading root canal — and left relieved.
"I had been avoiding the dentist for two years out of fear. Dr. Sumit Firke put the rubber dam on, gave the injection, and I genuinely felt nothing. The root canal took about 45 minutes and I was expecting agony — it was nothing of the sort. I left in complete disbelief. Thank you, Tulip Dental."
"I had a molar root canal done here. Dr. Firke explained everything — the rubber dam, the BioCeramic material, why he does what he does. It is clear this is not a clinic cutting corners. The procedure was painless and my tooth has been perfect for over a year. Highly recommend to anyone scared of RCT."
"I came with severe toothache at 7pm. Dr. Firke saw me the same day, did the root canal in one sitting, and the pain was gone by morning. I had expected the root canal itself to be painful — it absolutely was not. He uses a rubber dam every time which I later learned makes a real difference. Best dentist in Dombivli."
