Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal). It involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This treatment is often necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or injury. Root canal treatment can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted, relieving pain and restoring function to the affected tooth.
Description
Our root canal procedures are performed using advanced dental technology and modern techniques to ensure a pain-free and comfortable experience. We begin with digital X-rays to precisely locate the infection and assess the extent of damage. Using rotary instruments, we thoroughly clean and shape the root canals before sealing them with a durable filling. In most cases, we recommend a crown after the root canal to strengthen the treated tooth.
At SSmileVille, we prioritize patient comfort, using local anesthesia and offering sedation options if needed. Timely root canal treatment not only relieves toothache but also protects your smile for years to come.
