Root Canal Treatment is a procedure undertaken to repair and save a tooth or multiple teeth that have become badly infected or decayed. Root Canal Treatment is usually performed by an endodontist and can require two or more visits to the dentist before the treatment is fully complete.
Most dentists will perform root canal treatment however if the case is complex then it will be referred to a specialist in root canal treatment also known as an endodontist.
Root canal treatment helps preserve your natural teeth, avoiding the need for extractions and replacements.
Infected or decayed teeth can cause severe pain, and root canal treatment can alleviate this discomfort.
Removing the infected pulp prevents the spread of infection to adjacent teeth and tissues.
After a root canal, the treated tooth can function normally, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.
Once the dentist identifies a tooth that requires root canal treatment, appropriate X-rays are taken to clearly see the extent of the damage within the tooth. Root canal treatment is routinely performed under local anesthesia; however, sedation can be offered to patients who may be particularly nervous or if the case is particularly complex.
Root Canal Treatment has a success rate of approximately 90%.
All treatments are paid in full at point of delivery.
