During a root canal treatment, our experienced dentist will carefully remove infected or damaged tissue from inside your tooth. We use state-of-the-art digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to create detailed images of your tooth, helping us plan your treatment with precision.
Here’s what happens during your root canal procedure:
- First, we take images of your tooth using our digital X-ray system, which exposes you to less radiation than traditional X-rays.
- We ensure you’re completely comfortable by numbing the area around your tooth with local anesthetic.
- Using specialized instruments, your dentist creates a small opening in your tooth to access the infected area.
- She carefully cleans out the infected tissue and shapes the root canals.
- The cleaned canals are filled with a special material that prevents future infection.
- Finally, we seal your tooth and typically protect it with a crown.
Most patients are surprised by how smooth and comfortable the root canal treatment is. Our team stays current with the latest techniques and technology, ensuring you receive the highest quality care possible. We’ll walk you through each step of the procedure and answer any questions you have about your treatment.
