Root Canal Therapy

A procedure to save a severely infected or decayed tooth by removing the damaged nerve and pulp, then sealing it.

Benefits

• Eliminates the source of severe toothache and infection.

• Saves your natural tooth, preserving your bite and jawbone.

• Modern anesthesia makes the procedure feel just like a routine filling.

Is This For You ?

Anyone experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot/cold, or swelling due to deep decay or trauma.

What To Expect :

We completely numb the area, gently remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and seal it. A crown is usually placed afterward for protection.

What to Expect During Root Canal Therapy

1. Comfort & Numbing
We thoroughly numb the tooth and surrounding area using advanced techniques to ensure you feel absolutely no pain during the procedure.

2. Removing the Infection
We create a tiny, precise opening to access the pulp chamber and carefully remove the damaged or infected nerve tissue.

3. Cleaning & Shaping
We disinfect the interior canals and gently shape them to prepare for the final filling material.

4. Sealing the Tooth
We fill the cleaned space with a biocompatible material and seal it to prevent future bacterial intrusion.

5. Final Crown Restoration
Because a root-canaled tooth can become brittle, we will place a custom porcelain crown over the tooth in a follow-up visit to restore its full strength and function.
