Root Canal Services We Offer

Root Canal Therapy

This treatment repairs and protects a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. During the procedure, the diseased pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, shaped, and sealed to prevent further infection.

Root Canal Retreatment

If a previous root canal treatment fails or complications arise, retreatment provides a viable option to save the natural tooth. The process involves removing old fillings and crowns, re-cleaning and disinfecting the canals, then refilling and re-crowning the tooth.

Our Root Canal Process

  1. Thorough Diagnosis – Through clinical and radiographic evaluation, we determine the need for root canal therapy or retreatment.
  2. Effective Pain Control & Isolation – Local anesthesia ensures comfort. A rubber dam isolates the area to maintain cleanliness and safety.
  3. Cleaning & Disinfection – Using precise tools and irrigants, we remove infected pulp, shape the canal system, and eliminate bacteria.
  4. Filling & Sealing – Root canals are sealed with gutta‑percha and a suitable cement to protect against re-infection.
  5. Restoration – Depending on the case, we place a temporary or permanent restoration—often a crown—to restore strength and protect the treated tooth. In retreatment cases, this includes crown replacement.
