Why Choose Grace Dental for Root Canal Therapy?

At Grace Dental, we understand that hearing “root canal” might sound intimidating, but our expert team is here to make the process stress-free, effective, and comfortable.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure used to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp—the innermost part of your tooth. By removing the infection and sealing the tooth, root canals relieve pain and save teeth that would otherwise need extraction.
‍
Signs You May Need a Root Canal:

• Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or biting

• Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures that lingers

• Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth

• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth

• Presence of a pimple-like bump on the gums

Root canal therapy restores the health of your tooth while preserving its natural structure, ensuring long-term functionality and comfort.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

• Pain Relief: Eliminates the source of tooth pain caused by infection or inflammation.

• Saves Natural Teeth: Preserves your tooth’s structure and prevents the need for extraction.

• Prevents Further Infection: Seals the tooth to stop the spread of bacteria to surrounding teeth and tissues.

• Restores Function: Allows you to chew and speak normally without discomfort.

• Cost-Effective Solution: Treating an infected tooth is more affordable than replacing it with an implant or bridge.

What to Expect During Your Root Canal Treatment

1. Initial Examination: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your tooth using advanced imaging technology to diagnose the infection and assess the extent of the damage.

2. Anesthesia for Comfort: Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area, ensuring a completely pain-free procedure.

3. Accessing the Tooth: A small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected pulp inside.

4. Cleaning the Root Canals: Using specialized tools, we carefully remove the infected pulp and thoroughly clean the inside of the tooth and root canals.

5. Filling & Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent further infection.

6. Restoring the Tooth: To protect the tooth and restore its functionality, a custom dental crown is typically placed over the treated tooth in a follow-up appointment.
