Root Canal Treatment

We understand that tooth pain can disrupt your life, and we’re here to help you find lasting relief. Root canal treatment is a highly effective way to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged while also relieving pain and restoring function. Our experienced team provides gentle, precise root canal therapy using advanced techniques to ensure your comfort and a successful outcome.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure to remove infected or damaged tissue from within a tooth. Inside each tooth is a soft area called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain, swelling, and even lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans and seals the inner tooth, and restores it with a crown, allowing you to keep your natural tooth.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• Pain Relief: Root canal therapy eliminates the source of pain and infection, offering immediate and lasting relief.
• Tooth Preservation: This procedure saves your natural tooth, preserving your smile’s appearance and maintaining normal chewing function.
• Improved Oral Health: Removing the infection prevents it from spreading to neighboring teeth or into the jawbone.
• Long-Term Solution: With proper care, a treated tooth can last a lifetime, making root canal therapy an effective, lasting solution.

When is a Root Canal Necessary?

Root canal treatment may be recommended if you experience symptoms such as:

• Severe toothache, especially when chewing or applying pressure
• Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures that lingers
• Swollen or tender gums around a tooth
• Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
• Pimples or abscesses on the gums near the affected tooth

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, contact us right away for an evaluation. Our team will assess your condition and determine if a root canal is the best course of action.

The Root Canal Process at Renu’s Smile Studio

Our compassionate team uses state-of-the-art technology and techniques to make your root canal experience as comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

• Consultation and Diagnosis

We begin with a thorough examination and digital imaging to assess the extent of the infection and determine the best approach to treatment.

• Anesthesia and Preparation

To ensure a pain-free experience, we’ll administer local anesthesia to numb the area. If you feel anxious, we offer sedation options to help you relax.

• Cleaning and Disinfection

During the procedure, we carefully remove the infected pulp from the tooth and thoroughly clean and disinfect the root canals to eliminate all bacteria.

• Filling and Sealing

Once the canals are cleaned, we fill and seal them with a special material to prevent future infection.

• Restoration

In most cases, we’ll place a crown over the treated tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance. Our crowns are made to match your natural teeth, so your smile remains seamless and beautiful.
