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 system). It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inner chambers of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. This treatment can save a tooth that would otherwise need extraction.
The procedure is usually completed in one or two visits, depending on the severity of the infection. After the treatment, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling to ensure full functionality and protection. Root canal treatment is generally safe, effective, and helps maintain your natural teeth.
Patients may experience minor discomfort after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Regular follow-up visits and good oral hygiene are important to ensure long-term success of the treatment.
Who is a Candidate for Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is recommended for patients who have infection or inflammation in the tooth pulp. It helps save natural teeth that would otherwise need extraction. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent severe pain, abscess formation, and further dental complications.
- Persistent toothache or severe sensitivity to hot or cold foods
- Swelling and tenderness around the affected tooth
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth

What is Dental Implants Restoration?
A dental implant is designed to replace one or more teeth in your mouth. Typically made of titanium, implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone. Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone, becoming a solid and stable part of your smile. After the implant heals, we can place single crowns, bridges, or even full dentures over them.
Why is Dental Implants Restoration needed?
Dental implant restoration is often necessary if you're missing one or more of your natural teeth. Missing teeth can be more than just a cosmetic issue; it can make eating, chewing, and even speaking difficult. Fortunately, dental implants can replace what you're missing, improving both your smile and your quality of life.
