Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal is a commonly knows as a form of treatment to repair and save a badly damaged and or infected tooth instead of removing it. The term “root canal” comes from cleaning of the canals inside a tooth’s root.

Root Canal treatment is complete in one or two office visits, depending on the presence of infection and the required treatment plan. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth. With good oral hygiene, the restored tooth has the potential to last a lifetime.

Patients Experience:

  • A Local anesthetic is applied to the affected tooth and surrounding area.
  • A small, protective sheet called a dental dam is used to isolate the tooth to keep it clean and free of saliva during your procedure.
  • An opening is made in the top of the tooth and your Endodontist will remove the soft pulp and nerve and then shape the interior for filling.
  • The root Canal is cleaned, medicated and filled with a rubber like biocompatible material (gutta percha)
  • A temporary filling is placed, then a permanent restoration, such as a crown to protect the tooth.
