Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment is a reliable and proven solution for saving your natural teeth when they become infected due to decay, cracks, or trauma. We understand the importance of preserving your natural teeth, and root canal treatment is the key to long-term dental health.

When a tooth becomes infected, it can lead to excruciating pain and discomfort. Root canal treatment is a trusted and predictable procedure designed to eliminate that pain while saving your tooth. There’s nothing quite like your natural teeth, and our goal is to help you keep them for a lifetime.

When performed with precision and care, the procedure is virtually painless, ensuring you can experience relief without unnecessary discomfort. We are dedicated to making your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Root canal treatment may sound complex, but it’s a relatively straightforward procedure. Here’s what you can expect:

  • First, Dr Helen will examine your tooth and take X-rays to pinpoint the issue. This helps us understand the extent of the infection or damage.
  • We’ll create a small opening in your tooth and remove the infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth).
  • The inside of your tooth will be cleaned and shaped to make room for a root-filling material. The now-empty space with a biocompatible material. This helps to seal the tooth, preventing further infection.
  • In most cases, a crown will be placed on the treated tooth to protect it and restore its appearance. This crown looks and functions just like a natural tooth, ensuring you can eat, talk, and smile with confidence.

 

It’s essential to recognize the signs of a dental infection and seek prompt treatment. Dental pain can escalate rapidly, and delaying treatment may lead to more extensive issues. If you suspect you have a dental infection, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team is here to assist you and discuss your situation, providing the expert guidance and care you need.
