Benefits of Endodontic Treatment
- Pain Relief: One of the primary goals of endodontic treatment is to relieve pain caused by pulp infection. Our advanced techniques and the use of local anesthesia help to make the procedure as pain-free as possible.
- Preservation of Natural Teeth: Root canal therapy allows us to save your natural teeth, which is always preferable to extraction. Keeping your natural teeth helps maintain proper biting force, prevents adjacent teeth shifting, and preserves your smile's natural appearance.
- Efficient and Cost-Effective: Compared to tooth extraction followed by the insertion of a bridge or implant, endodontic treatment is often a more cost-effective solution. It involves fewer visits and utilizes your natural tooth as a base for future restorations.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients experience a swift recovery after endodontic treatment, enabling you to resume your regular activities quickly.
Endodontic Procedures
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is the most common endodontic procedure. During the procedure, our skilled team will remove the infected or inflamed pulp, clean and shape the inside of the tooth, and fill and seal the space. This meticulous process prevents reinfection and allows the tooth to function normally.
Pulp Capping and Regeneration
When an injury exposes the pulp, yet infection hasn’t set in, pulp capping is a protective procedure that encourages healing and repairs the damaged tissue.
