Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has a severely damaged or infected pulp (the innermost part of the tooth). Rather than extracting the tooth, a root canal treatment allows us to remove the infected tissue, clean the affected area, and seal it, effectively saving the tooth and preventing the need for tooth replacement options like dental implants or bridges.

Signs and symptoms for possible root canal therapy:

• An abscess (or pimple) on the gums.
• Sensitivity to hot and cold.
• Severe toothache pain.
• Sometimes no symptoms are present.
• Swelling and/or tenderness.

Reasons for Root Canal Therapy:

Our Root Canal Process:

1. 1. Diagnosis: Our skilled dentists will perform a thorough examination, which may include X-rays, to determine the extent of the damage or infection.
   2. Local Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we’ll administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area.
   3. Cleaning and Shaping: We’ll access the pulp chamber, remove the infected tissue, and clean the inside of the tooth. The tooth will then be shaped to receive a filling.
   4. Filling: After cleaning and shaping, the space is filled with a biocompatible material, typically gutta-percha, to seal the tooth and prevent further infection.
   5. Restoration: In most cases, a tooth that has undergone a root canal will need a dental crown to strengthen and protect it. We offer custom-made, natural-looking crowns to restore the tooth’s appearance and function.
