Root canal therapy is a key treatment for preserving teeth affected by infection or damage to the dental pulp. We use advanced technology and local anesthesia to help make the process as comfortable as possible, minimising discomfort throughout the procedure.
Schedule your consultation today to learn more about how root canal therapy can help you.
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or damage inside the soft tissue or pulp of a tooth. The process involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the area and then sealing the tooth to reduce the risk of further complications.
This treatment can help preserve your natural tooth and reduce the need for extraction.
A root canal is generally not painful, as local anesthesia is typically used to numb the affected area during the procedure. Modern techniques aim to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
Post-procedure, mild discomfort may occur, but it is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients report that the experience is less painful than expected.
A root canal procedure typically takes one or two appointments, depending on the severity of the infection or damage. During your consultation, the dentist can assess your tooth’s condition and explain how many visits will be needed.
Each appointment generally lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on your individual case.
After a root canal, the tooth is sealed and may require further restoration, such as a dental crown, to protect it from damage.
It’s important to follow your dentist’s recommendations for follow-up care and maintain good oral hygiene to help ensure the treated tooth remains healthy. Regular check-ups can monitor the health of the treated tooth and detect any future complications.
