Understanding the Root Canal Procedure
Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, addresses infections within the tooth’s pulp – the soft tissue containing nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics. At Chaparral Smiles Dental, we utilize advanced techniques and technology to ensure a comfortable and efficient experience. Here’s what you can expect:
- Thorough Diagnosis: We begin with a comprehensive examination, including digital X-rays, to accurately assess the extent of the infection and map the unique anatomy of your root canals.
- Gentle Anesthesia: Your comfort is paramount. We administer local anesthesia to numb the area completely, ensuring a pain-free procedure.
- Precise Access: A small opening is created in the tooth to access the pulp chamber.
- Careful Cleaning and Shaping: Using specialized instruments, we meticulously remove the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and shaping the root canals to prepare them for filling.
- Biocompatible Filling: The cleaned canals are filled with gutta-percha, a biocompatible material, sealing them to prevent future infection.
- Restorative Crown: A custom-made crown is placed to restore the tooth’s strength, function, and natural appearance. This final step is crucial for long-term success.
