Service Description

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a vital dental procedure aimed at salvaging teeth afflicted by infection or inflammation within the dental pulp. This treatment becomes necessary when bacteria infiltrate the innermost portion of the tooth, known as the pulp chamber, leading to infection, inflammation, and often excruciating pain. At Smile Surgeon Dental Clinic, we recognise the significance of root canal therapy in preserving natural teeth and safeguarding overall oral health. During a root canal procedure, our skilled dentists meticulously remove the infected or inflamed pulp tissue from the tooth's interior, effectively eliminating the source of discomfort and preventing the spread of infection. This process involves accessing the pulp chamber through a small opening in the tooth and delicately cleaning and disinfecting the affected area to eradicate bacteria and debris. Once the pulp has been thoroughly cleansed, the tooth is sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent recontamination and restore structural integrity. In some cases, a dental crown may be recommended to reinforce the tooth's strength and protect it from further damage. Root canal treatment is a highly successful and time-tested procedure that offers numerous benefits, including: Preservation of Natural Teeth: By removing the infected pulp and preserving the tooth's outer structure, root canal therapy allows patients to retain their natural teeth and avoid the need for extraction. Alleviation of Pain and Discomfort: Root canal treatment effectively alleviates the severe pain and sensitivity associated with infected teeth, providing much-needed relief and restoring oral comfort. Prevention of Further Infection: By sealing the tooth's interior, root canal therapy helps prevent the spread of infection to surrounding tissues and adjacent teeth, reducing the risk of more extensive dental problems. Restoration of Oral Function: Following root canal treatment and any necessary restorative procedures, patients can enjoy restored oral function, including biting, chewing, and speaking, with confidence and comfort. At Smile Surgeon Dental Clinic, our experienced dentists prioritise patient comfort and safety throughout the root canal treatment process. We utilize advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precise and efficient treatment delivery, minimising discomfort and maximising outcomes.
