Root canal treatment removes inflamed or injured pulp from the tooth, preventing reinfection or damage. Your dentist starts by numbing the area so you don’t feel pain or discomfort during the treatment. Our team then makes a small access in the tooth to remove the pulp.
Our dentists enter the tooth, using modern endodontic technology, and carefully eliminate all bacteria and inflammation. Next, we sterilize the inside of the tooth and apply a topical antibiotic to ward off bacteria and prevent infection. We then fill the empty canal with a substance called gutta-percha to restore the tooth’s interior structure and strength.
Once the gutta-percha hardens, we seal the tooth with a custom-made dental crown to protect the natural tooth. A dental crown not only restores the tooth’s function for eating, chewing, and more, but it also equalizes your bite and shields the tooth from potential chips and breaks.
