Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment saves teeth affected by infected or damaged pulp - the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth. While deep decay, repetitive drills, cracks or trauma inflamed this tissue, intervention reduces not only excessive pain but also abscess and, consequently, osteolysis.

The procedure begins with local anesthesia for comfort. Our expert dentists make an access opening, cleans out the infected pulp with special instruments, and thoroughly cleans out the canals to remove bacteria. This meticulous cleaning is crucial for long-term success.

Fill the canals with biocompatible gutta-percha after cleaning and seal it with adhesive cement to exclude bacterial re-invasions. A provisional filling provides temporary protection of the tooth until permanent reconstruction is possible.

Dental crown is generally prescribed after restoration to gain the structural support to the weakened tooth, prevent the fracturing and restore the bite to be correct. With proper restoration, a tooth restored by root canal therapy can last a lifetime, allowing the restoration of a natural smile.
