ROOT CANAL THERAPY
Expert root canal treatment to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth effectively and safely.
ROOT CANAL THERAPY
At Nelivigi Dental Clinic, Root Canal Therapy is performed to save teeth that are severely decayed, infected, or damaged. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep cavities, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, root canal treatment helps eliminate the infection while preserving the natural tooth. This procedure relieves pain, prevents the spread of infection, and restores the tooth’s function and strength.
Our goal is to help patients retain their natural teeth whenever possible. Using advanced techniques and modern equipment, we carefully clean and disinfect the infected root canals before sealing them to prevent reinfection. Following treatment, a dental crown may be recommended to strengthen and protect the tooth, allowing it to function normally for many years.
How It Works
Step 1: Consultation & Diagnosis
A detailed examination, digital X-rays, and clinical evaluation are performed to determine the extent of infection and whether root canal treatment is required.
Step 2: Local Anesthesia
The affected tooth and surrounding area are numbed to ensure a comfortable and pain-free procedure.
Step 3: Removal of Infected Pulp
The infected or damaged pulp tissue is carefully removed from the tooth and root canals.
Step 4: Cleaning & Disinfection
The root canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and infection.
Step 5: Filling & Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection.
Step 6: Final Restoration
A filling or dental crown is placed to restore the tooth’s strength, function, and natural appearance.
