Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?
Advancement in dental procedures now allows dentists to save a severely decayed tooth with the help of a root canal treatment. Pain while chewing or sensitivity when your teeth are exposed to hot or cold temperatures are signs of dental infection. If you face constant tooth pain, swelling, or have pimple-like formations regularly, it is time to consult your dentist. If signs of severe decay are found, you may need to get this procedure done.
For teeth that are infected, our doctors can perform a safe, effective root canal to remove bacteria and avoid the need for extraction. Trust our cutting-edge technology for comfortable and convenient root canal therapy. Call us for more information.

What’s Involved in Our Root Canal Treatment
Our root canal treatment typically spans 1 to 3 sessions, encompassing several key steps:
- Step 1: Examination of the infected or damaged tooth to assess the internal condition and determine the most suitable treatment plan.
- Step 2: Application of a local anesthetic to ensure a painless procedure.
- Step 3: Creation of a small access point in the affected tooth to reach the root canal, followed by the meticulous removal of infected or diseased tissue from the pulp.
- Step 4: Shaping and sanitization of the hollow area to prepare it for restoration.
- Step 5: Placement of a synthetic dental filling to comprehensively seal the tooth, preventing potential future infections.
- Step 6: Minor reduction in tooth size, accompanied by the creation of an impression using a mold. This serves as a blueprint for a tailored crown to safeguard the delicate tooth.
- Step 7: Installation of a custom-made crown to restore the tooth’s structure, strength, size, and enhance its aesthetic appeal.
