A root canal is a highly effective dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely infected or damaged. When the soft inner tissue of a tooth (the pulp) becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal treatment carefully removes this damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the inner chambers, and then seals the tooth. This procedure relieves pain, eliminates infection, and preserves your natural tooth for years to come.
We begin with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to confirm the diagnosis. You'll receive gentle, effective local anesthesia to ensure a completely comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
A small opening is created in the tooth to access the infected pulp. The damaged nerve tissue, bacteria, and debris are carefully removed from the root canals.
The empty root canals are meticulously cleaned, disinfected, and shaped using advanced techniques to prepare them for the final filling material.
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, and the tooth is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling to prevent re-infection.
Our root canal treatments are performed with precision and care, utilizing the latest technology to ensure your comfort and the long-term health of your tooth.
Saving your natural tooth is almost always the best option. A root canal preserves your tooth, maintains your bite, and prevents neighboring teeth from shifting. An extraction can lead to more complex and costly problems later.
With modern anesthesia and techniques, a root canal is no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling. The procedure is designed to relieve the pain caused by the infection, not cause it.
Some mild tenderness is normal for a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. You will need to return for a permanent crown to protect the treated tooth.
