Welcome to Amber Valley Dental Practice, where we specialise in providing expert Root Canal Treatment. Led by the skilled Dr. Mihai-Marius Iliescu, an experienced dentist with an MSc in Endodontology, our team is dedicated to delivering premium care for your dental needs.
A Root Canal, or endodontic therapy, is a dental treatment designed to address infections within the tooth pulp, the innermost layer of your teeth. Commonly performed by endodontists and dentists, Root Canal Treatment is crucial for preventing the spread of infection and preserving your natural teeth.
You may require a Root Canal if bacteria invade the tooth pulp due to a deep cavity or a cracked tooth. Early intervention can prevent complications and alleviate symptoms.
Procedure Details
Steps of a Root Canal Procedure:
X-rays and sensitivity tests to assess the condition of the tooth pulp.
Numbing of the infected tooth and surrounding gum area.
A protective barrier to keep the tooth dry during treatment.
Creating a small opening in the tooth’s crown to access the pulp.
Using precise instruments to remove infected pulp, nerves, and tissues.
Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the pulp chamber and root canals.
Using gutta-percha, a flexible dental material, to fill the empty pulp chamber and root canals.
Placing a temporary filling to seal the tooth and prevent bacterial entry.
A custom dental crown is fitted to protect and restore the treated tooth.
Post-Procedure: You may experience some numbness initially, and subsequent appointments will be scheduled to prepare for and place the permanent dental crown.
Potential Benefits of Root Canals
· Elimination of tooth infections
· Prevention of infection spread to other teeth
· Protection against jawbone damage
Risks or Complications:
While root canals are highly successful, there is a minimal risk of failure. If a root canal is not the optimal solution, alternative treatments may include re-treatment or extraction followed by a dental implant or bridge placement.
