How Root Canal Therapy Works
Here is an overview of how the root canal therapy procedure usually works:
-
We use our cone beam scanner to get a detailed, three-dimensional view of the tooth and the surrounding structures. Then, we can plan exactly what needs to happen during treatment.
-
We ensure you are comfortable with anesthesia and possibly sedation.
-
We access the interior portion of the tooth and remove any damaged or infected areas. We also remove the nerve inside the tooth that was sending pain signals to the brain.
-
We fill in the weakened tooth with a special material called gutta percha.
-
We place a crown on top of the treated tooth to fully restore its structure and strength.
