Endodontics Root Canal

Our Endodontics service focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries affecting the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. Led by our expert team of Endodontists, we offer advanced procedures such as Root Canal Therapy and Re-Root Canal Therapy to preserve your natural teeth and alleviate discomfort.

Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy is a highly effective procedure designed to save a tooth that has become infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, faulty crowns, or a crack or chip in the tooth. Without intervention, the infection can spread, leading to severe pain, abscess formation, and even tooth loss. Our skilled Endodontists specialise in performing root canal procedures with precision and care, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.

What to Expect During Root Canal 

  • Consultation and Examination: Your treatment starts with a comprehensive consultation and examination. Our Endodontist will review your dental history, conduct a thorough examination, and perform diagnostic tests to assess the extent of the infection.
  • Local Anesthesia: Before starting the procedure, we ensure your comfort by administering local anaesthesia to numb the affected area.
  • Accessing the Pulp: Using advanced tools and techniques, our Endodontist creates a small opening in the tooth to access the infected or inflamed pulp.
  • Cleaning and Shaping: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and shaped to remove any bacteria or debris.
  • Filling and Sealing: Once cleaned, the root canal is filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then sealed to prevent bacteria from entering.
  • Restoration: Depending on the extent of damage, a dental crown may be placed to restore the strength, function, and appearance of the treated tooth.
  • Follow-Up Care: We provide detailed instructions on post-operative care and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure the success of the treatment.

Re-Root Canal

In some cases, a previously treated root canal may fail to heal properly or become reinfected over time. Re-Root Canal Therapy, also known as Endodontic Retreatment, is a specialised procedure aimed at addressing these challenges and saving the tooth from extraction.

Indications for Re-Root Canal

  • Persistence or recurrence of symptoms such as pain, swelling, or sensitivity
  • Radiographic evidence of complications, such as an abscess or bone loss
  • Presence of new decay or damage to the tooth structure

The Process:

  • Evaluation: Our Endodontist will evaluate the tooth, review your dental history, and perform diagnostic tests to assess the underlying cause of the failure.
  • Accessing the Canal: Similar to the initial root canal procedure, the Endodontist will gain access to the root canal system through a small opening in the tooth.
  • Removing the Filling: The filling material from the previous root canal treatment is carefully removed to access the underlying canal and identify any missed canals or untreated areas.
  • Cleaning and Disinfection: The root canal system is meticulously cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to remove any remaining bacteria, debris, or infected tissue.
  • Filling and Sealing: Once cleaned, the root canal is filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection, and the tooth is sealed to restore its integrity.
  • Restoration: Depending on the condition of the tooth, a new dental crown or restoration may be placed to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
  • Follow-Up Care: We provide comprehensive post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure the success of the retreatment.
