Root canal

About the service

‍

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure designed to remove infected or inflamed tissue (pulp) from inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the root canals, and seal the tooth to prevent further infection. Here's how our dental office excels in offering root canal services:

‍

Thorough Evaluation:

Our experienced dentists begin by conducting a detailed examination and diagnostic tests to determine if root canal treatment is necessary. Symptoms such as persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or abscess formation may indicate the need for a root canal.

‍

Digital Imaging:

We use advanced digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to assess the internal structure of the tooth and identify the extent of infection or damage. This technology allows for precise treatment planning and ensures accurate diagnosis and treatment.

‍

Comfortable Treatment:

We prioritize patient comfort throughout the root canal procedure. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free during the treatment process. Our dental team is attentive to your needs and provides a relaxing environment to minimize any anxiety or discomfort.

‍

Precise Cleaning and Disinfection:

During the root canal procedure, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the tooth's pulp chamber and root canals. The canals are then cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to remove bacteria and debris, promoting healing and preventing further infection.

‍

Sealing and Restoration:

After cleaning and disinfection, the root canals are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to prevent re-infection. Depending on the tooth's condition and location, a dental crown or filling may be placed to restore the tooth's strength, function, and aesthetics.

Follow-up Care:

We provide post-treatment instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure the treated tooth remains healthy. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene practices are essential for maintaining the success of your root canal treatment.
