Root Canal Treatments

Root canals are a restorative dental procedure used to treat the innermost parts of a tooth that has become infected or damaged. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp from within the root canal, and then sealing it off with a filling material. Apicoectomies are recommended when retreatment is not possible due to existing crowns or bridges over teeth needing treatment.

Root canals involve more than just removing an infected pulp – it also includes protecting the remaining healthy sections of the tooth through meticulous techniques such as shaping, cleaning and sealing. This ensures that all bacteria and debris is removed from inside the canal, while preventing further infection or damage. After successful completion of a root canal treatment, patients often enjoy improved comfort levels in their teeth, as well as restored functionality due to increased strength and durability provided by the dental filling material used.
