A root canal treatment might sound intimidating, but it’s actually a comfortable procedure that helps relieve pain and save your natural tooth. Here’s what typically happens during your visit:

Step 1: Examination and Planning: We carefully examine your tooth and take X-rays to see how far the infection has spread.

Step 2: Numbing the Area: A local anesthetic is gently given to numb the area. Most patients say they feel no pain—just mild pressure during the procedure.

Step 3: Removing the Infection: A tiny opening is made in the tooth to remove the infected pulp and bacteria inside. The inner chamber is then cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to remove all traces of infection.

Step 4: Filling and Sealing the Tooth: Once the area is clean and dry, it’s filled with a biocompatible material that seals the tooth and prevents future infection.

Step 5: Restoring the Tooth: Finally, we place a custom-made crown over the treated tooth. The crown strengthens the tooth and gives you a natural smile.
