Endodontic Treatment & Root Canal Therapy
Expert root canal treatment by specialist endodontists. Save your natural teeth with painless, advanced procedures.
What is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal therapy, is a specialized dental procedure designed to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). This treatment becomes necessary when the dental pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or damaged through decay, trauma, or injury.
Root canal therapy allows us to save your natural tooth rather than extracting it, preserving your smile, chewing function, and preventing bone loss. Our specialist endodontists use advanced techniques and equipment to ensure comfortable, effective treatment.
Root Canal Procedure
Our comprehensive root canal procedure involves several precise steps to ensure complete treatment and long-term success:
- Thorough examination and digital X-rays to assess the tooth condition
- Local anesthesia for complete comfort during the procedure
- Creation of small access opening to reach the root canals
- Removal of infected or damaged pulp tissue
- Cleaning, shaping, and disinfecting the root canal system
- Filling and sealing the canals with biocompatible material
- Placement of temporary or permanent filling
- Final restoration with crown for long-term protection

- Cost-effective compared to tooth extraction and replacement

Frequently Asked Questions
With modern dental techniques and effective local anesthesia, root canal treatments are virtually painless. Most patients report experiencing much less discomfort during the procedure than they anticipated. The treatment actually relieves the pain caused by the infection.
With proper care and maintenance, a tooth restored with root canal therapy can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups are important to monitor the treated tooth and ensure its continued health and functionality. Good oral hygiene practices will help maintain your treated tooth.
Common indicators include severe toothache pain when chewing or applying pressure, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, tooth discoloration, swelling and tenderness in nearby gums, or a persistent pimple on the gums. If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation.
The cost varies depending on the tooth's location and complexity. Generally, root canal therapy is more affordable than tooth extraction followed by an implant or bridge. We offer transparent pricing and payment options to make treatment accessible. Contact us for a detailed consultation and quote.
