Root Canal Treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure that is performed to save a damaged or infected tooth. At Dhillon Dental Studio, we offer Root Canal Treatment as a solution for patients who are experiencing pain, discomfort, or infection in their tooth.

When a tooth becomes damaged or infected, the nerves and blood vessels that reside inside the tooth’s pulp chamber (the area inside the tooth containing the nerve and blood vessels) can become inflamed or infected. This can cause severe pain, sensitivity, and even an abscess (a pocket of pus) to form at the end of the tooth’s roots. Root canal treatment is needed to remove the infected or inflamed pulp and clear the infection, and it’s one of the most effective ways of saving a tooth that might otherwise require extraction.

The process of Root Canal Treatment typically involves a consultation with one of our dental professionals, during which we will assess the condition of your tooth and determine if a Root Canal Treatment is the best option for you. If a Root Canal Treatment is recommended, we will numb the area around the tooth and make a small opening through the top of the tooth. Next, we will remove the infected or inflamed pulp, thoroughly clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and fill it with a special filling material. Finally, we will place a crown over the tooth to protect it and restore its function.

Root Canal Treatment is generally a relatively quick and straightforward procedure, and it can be completed in one or more visits, depending on the complexity of the case. With proper care and maintenance, most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last a lifetime.

If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in a tooth, or if you have been told that you need a Root Canal Treatment, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dhillon Dental Studio. Our experienced team will be happy to discuss your options and help you determine if Root Canal Treatment is the right choice for you.
