Root Canal Treatment and Endodontics
In some cases, root canal treatment can allow an infected or damaged tooth to be retained instead of extracted. Endodontics treats the inside of the tooth so the tooth itself can stay.
Endodontic Treatments We Offer
- Root Canal Therapy (RCT)
- Re-treatment of Failed RCT
- Apicoectomy
- Internal Bleaching (for discolored teeth after trauma)
Saving Teeth From the Inside
Root canal therapy removes infected tissue from inside the tooth. It treats infection or inflammation within the tooth and is intended to address the source of symptoms, and the tooth is then sealed and usually restored with a crown.
If a previous root canal has failed, re-treatment or an apicoectomy can in some cases still save the tooth. Contact us to confirm availability at your branch.
When Root Canal Treatment Helps
Who it may help
Teeth with deep decay, infection or injury reaching the nerve, where the tooth structure is still sound enough to restore.
Things to consider
Not every tooth can be saved. Where damage is too extensive, extraction and replacement may be the sounder route. Imaging and examination decide.
What a Root Canal Involves
