Root Canal Treatment

An infected tooth can cause a myriad of unpleasant symptoms that stop you going about your daily life.

However, don’t fret as here at InnovaDent Dental Clinic we’re highly adept at carrying out root canal treatment, to salvage the life of your infected tooth, and get you feeling positive about your teeth and smile again.

What is root canal treatment?

With the amazing advancements and innovation in dentistry over the past decade, root canal treatment has never been a more streamlined procedure.

Root canal treatment is indispensable in salvaging an infected tooth from the need to be extracted. A tooth may have become infected if it’s sustained an injury or severe decay, and warrants attention right away.

The steps to having root canal treatment

A root canal is generally performed over 2 or 3 appointments.

Examination: your tooth will be examined, and we will check if the infection has spread to neighbouring teeth.

Disinfection: the root canals are cleared and cleaned, so the decayed and damaged tooth pulp (connective tissue, blood vessels and cells) is removed from the tooth.

Sealing and strengthening: the tooth is filled and sealed, to stop infection to other parts of the teeth, and neighbouring teeth. A bespoke crown is then made to fit over the top, restoring the aesthetic of the previously infected tooth, and allowing you to chew with ease again.

How will root canal treatment benefit me?

• As infection can cause discolouration, a root canal will reverse this, to give you back a natural and healthy tooth aesthetic.
• The crown we create for your tooth post-root canal treatment is crafted in the image of your smile.
• It stops the need for a tooth extraction.
