Root Canal
We are here to help alleviate discomfort & save your tooth from infection, with this highly specialised endodontic procedure.
Why choose root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment aims to save a natural tooth that is infected from the centre, and may otherwise require extraction. Infection is usually a result of decay that has been left untreated, but can also be a result of gum disease or an injury to the face.
By expertly removing the infected or damaged pulp at the core of the tooth, our skilled dental professionals can effectively treat the issue, which will relieve your pain, stop the spread of infection, and allow you to retain your natural smile.
What does the treatment involve?
-
We will undergo thorough examination and diagnostic imaging to help pinpoint the issue within your tooth.
-
Local anaesthesia ensures a pain-free experience during the procedure.
After the treatment there may be some discomfort and potential pain once the anaesthetic has worn off. This is common & easily treated with over-the-counter painkillers. We will, of course, go over all your after-care needs with you at the time.
-
We will carefully remove the damaged or infected pulp to eliminate the source of the problem.
-
Once the infection is removed, we will clean & disinfect the root canal area, and shape to prepare for filling.
-
The cleaned space will then be sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent further infection.
-
In many cases, we will apply a crown or filling to restore the tooth's strength and functionality, and help prevent future damage.
