Root Canal Treatment

If you’re experiencing a persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around a specific tooth, it might be more than just a cavity. These could be signs of an internal tooth infection that needs immediate attention. We offer precise and effective root canal treatment to help relieve your discomfort, restore your oral health, and preserve your natural tooth. Our experienced dental team uses the latest techniques and technologies to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience from start to finish.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation within the tooth’s pulp, the innermost layer that contains nerves and blood vessels. When this soft tissue becomes infected, it can cause intense pain and lead to abscesses or even tooth loss if left untreated.

During the procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed with a biocompatible material. A crown is usually placed afterward to restore the tooth’s function and strength. This treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth instead of having it extracted.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Saves Your Tooth

Preserves your natural tooth structure and avoids the need for extraction.

 

Pain Relief

Eliminates the sharp, throbbing pain caused by infected or inflamed pulp.

 

Prevents Further Damage

Stops the infection from spreading to nearby teeth or the jawbone.

Aesthetic Restoration

The final restoration looks just like a healthy natural tooth.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

Not all dental pain means you need a root canal, but the following signs are strong indicators:
 
  • Severe toothache: Especially when chewing or applying pressure.
  • Lingering sensitivity: To hot, cold, or sweet foods, even after the stimulus is removed.
  • Darkened or discolored tooth: Could indicate nerve damage or internal decay.
  • Swelling near the tooth: Often accompanied by tenderness or a small bump on the gums.
  • Cracked or broken tooth: A crack that reaches the pulp can lead to infection.
  • History of trauma: Past injury to the tooth, even if painless, may require treatment.

Process of Getting a Root Canal

We make the root canal process as comfortable and efficient as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

 

 

Initial Examination & X-rays

We begin with a detailed exam and digital imaging to assess the tooth and the surrounding area.

Local Anesthesia

The treatment area is numbed to ensure a completely painless experience.

 

Cleaning the Tooth

The infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and shaped.

Filling the Canals

After cleaning, we fill and seal the canals with a rubber-like material to prevent reinfection.

Restoring the Tooth

A temporary or permanent filling is placed. A crown is often added to protect the tooth and restore its strength.
