Root Canal

Root Canals at Dental Implant Plus

At Dental Implant Plus, we prioritise preserving your natural smile. Root canals are a valuable dental procedure that can save a tooth that might otherwise need extraction. This treatment removes infected pulp within the tooth, alleviating pain and preventing further complications like infection or bone loss.

Choosing root canal treatment offers several benefits:

  • Saves your natural tooth: Maintaining your natural teeth is crucial for optimal oral health and facial structure.
  • Reduces pain: Root canals eliminate toothaches and discomfort associated with a damaged tooth.
  • Prevents complications: Addressing the infection prevents the spread of bacteria and potential bone loss.

Our root canal procedure is designed for comfort and effectiveness. We begin with a consultation to assess the tooth and answer your questions. The treatment itself involves local anaesthesia for pain control, followed by careful removal of the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfection, and sealing the tooth with a temporary filling. In most cases, a permanent crown is placed on the tooth to restore its strength and function.

Root Canal Procedure – Step-by-Step

  • Initial Examination and X-rays
    The dentist examines the affected tooth and takes X-rays to assess the damage and check for infection in the surrounding bone.
  • Local Anaesthesia
    A numbing agent is applied to ensure the area is completely pain-free before the procedure begins.
  • Placing a Dental Dam
    A small rubber sheet (dental dam) is placed to isolate the tooth and keep it dry and clean during treatment.
  • Accessing the Pulp Chamber
    A small opening is made on the top of the tooth to reach the pulp—the soft tissue inside the root canals.
  • Removing the Infected Pulp
    The dentist carefully removes the damaged or infected pulp using tiny dental instruments, cleaning out each canal.
  • Disinfecting the Canals
    The canals are flushed and disinfected thoroughly to eliminate bacteria and prevent further infection.
  • Shaping the Canals
    The cleaned canals are shaped to allow for proper filling. This ensures a snug, complete seal during the next step.
  • Filling the Canals
    A biocompatible material (usually gutta-percha) is used to fill the canals and prevent bacteria from re-entering.
  • Sealing the Tooth
    The access hole is sealed with a temporary or permanent filling to protect the tooth until it’s restored.
  • Restoration with Crown or Filling
    In a follow-up visit, the tooth is restored with a crown or permanent filling to regain full function and appearance.
