Root canal treatment is a highly effective way to save a damaged or infected tooth while relieving pain and restoring function. At The Smile Atelier, we use advanced techniques and modern technology to ensure that your treatment is comfortable, precise, and stress-free. Instead of removing the tooth, a root canal allows us to preserve your natural smile while eliminating infection at its source.
Here’s what you can expect during your root canal treatment:
Assessment & Diagnosis
We examine the tooth and take necessary scans to understand the extent of infection.
Cleaning the Infection
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned and disinfected.
Sealing the Tooth
The canals are filled and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Final Restoration
In most cases, a crown is placed to restore strength, function, and appearance.
A root canal is recommended when the inner pulp of the tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to:
Deep decay or untreated cavities
Cracked or broken teeth
Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
Injury or trauma
Common signs include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or discomfort while chewing.
Relieves pain and discomfort
Saves your natural tooth
Restores normal chewing and function
Prevents spread of infection
Maintains your natural smile
Modern root canal treatments are typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. With local anaesthesia and advanced techniques, the procedure is designed to be as painless as possible.
Most treatments can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the condition of the tooth.
With proper care and a well-fitted crown, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years.
In most cases, a crown is recommended to protect the tooth and restore its strength, especially for back teeth.
Healthy teeth are essential for a confident smile and overall well-being. Regular dental care helps prevent cavities, gum problems, and other oral health issues.
