Clinical Overview
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Despite its reputation, a root canal is a straightforward, routine procedure designed specifically to relieve pain and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected.
During the treatment, the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp) is removed, and the inner part is cleaned and sealed. This eliminates infection at the source and prevents the need for dental implants or bridges.
"Preserving your natural smile is our ultimate goal."
