Endodontics
Dental Services
Endodontics, or root canal treatment, is a dental procedure designed to save a damaged or infected tooth by treating the inside, or pulp, of the tooth. This treatment is typically recommended when the tooth’s pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma.
The good news is that root canal treatment is a highly effective and pain-free procedure when performed by an experienced specialist. Thanks to modern technology and anesthesia, you’ll experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, and many patients report feeling completely at ease. The treatment can typically be completed in one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the issue.
The primary goal of a root canal is to remove the infected tissue inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the area, and then seal the tooth to prevent further infection. After treatment, the tooth is usually restored with a crown or filling to ensure it remains strong and functional.
The best part? By opting for a root canal, you're able to save your natural tooth, rather than resorting to extraction and replacing it with an implant or bridge. A healthy, natural tooth not only improves the appearance of your smile but also helps maintain your bite and jaw health.
Endodontic treatment is essential for maintaining the health of your teeth and gums, and it is much more affordable and less invasive than tooth extraction and replacement.
