Save Your Tooth with Root Canal Treatment

At Viva Dental, we are dedicated to preserving your natural teeth and maintaining your oral health. Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a highly effective procedure used to save a tooth that is severely damaged or infected. Our skilled team uses advanced techniques and technology to ensure that your root canal treatment is as comfortable and efficient as possible. By offering needleless injections, we also provide a pain-free and anxiety-free experience during your treatment.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a procedure used to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. When the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels) becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause severe pain and lead to the formation of an abscess. Left untreated, the infection can spread, resulting in the need for tooth extraction. Root canal treatment cleans out the infected tissue, disinfects the tooth, and fills it with a special material to prevent further infection, ultimately saving the tooth.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• Pain Relief: Root canal treatment alleviates the severe pain caused by an infected or inflamed tooth, allowing you to return to your normal activities without discomfort.
• Tooth Preservation: By treating the infection, root canal therapy helps preserve your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction and maintaining your smile.
• Restored Functionality: After a root canal, your tooth is restored to full function, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably.
• Aesthetic Preservation: The tooth is sealed and usually covered with a crown after treatment, ensuring it looks natural and blends seamlessly with your other teeth.
• Prevention of Further Issues: Treating the infection early prevents it from spreading to other teeth or areas of your mouth, protecting your overall oral health.

How Does Root Canal Treatment Work?

1. Consultation and Diagnosis: Your journey begins with a thorough examination at Viva Dental. We’ll assess your symptoms, take X-rays, and determine whether root canal treatment is the best option for you. We’ll also explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
2. Needleless Anaesthesia: To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we offer needleless injections to administer anaesthesia without the use of traditional needles. This innovative approach minimises discomfort and reduces anxiety, making the treatment experience more pleasant.
3. Cleaning and Shaping: After numbing the area, we’ll create an access point in the tooth and carefully remove the infected or damaged pulp. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare it for the filling.
4. Filling the Tooth: Once the tooth is cleaned and shaped, we fill the empty space with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. This material seals the tooth and prevents future infections.
5. Restoration: In most cases, a crown is placed over the treated tooth to protect it and restore its function and appearance. We’ll take impressions of your tooth to create a custom crown that fits perfectly and blends with your natural teeth.
6. Aftercare: After the procedure, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and ensure the long-term success of your root canal treatment. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to maintaining the health of your treated tooth.
