Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (Rct)

Cleaning and shaping your root canals:

First, we make an opening in your tooth and removes any filling and decay. Then we removes unhealthy pulp with tiny, Flexible files. Using delicate, up-and-down motions, we gently clean and smooth your canals to prepare them for the canal-filling materials.

Filing your root canals:

After the pulp has been removed from your root canals and they have been smoothed, your root canals will be filled. We may fill the canals with tiny cone-shaped pieces of gutta-percha, a firm, rubber like material, or use another dental material. A sealer-cement is used to seal the filling material into place.

Restoring your tooth:

After the inside of your tooth has been treated, the outside will be restored. To protect your tooth's underlying structures and give your tooth a healthy appearance, and if your tooth needs extra support, we may remove some gutta-percha and insert a post before the filling and crown are applied.

• A post, stainless steel or a tooth-colored dental material, may be used to fill the opening in the top of your tooth.
• A filling, usually silver or a tooth-colored dental material, may be used to fill the opening in the top of your tooth.
• A crown, usually gold or porcelain, may be used to cover a tooth that has large opening after root canal therapy.
