Highly Effective Treatment

If you’ve been told that you need a root canal, you might have some questions and concerns about the procedure. At Elite Dental of Inverness, we’re here to reassure you that root canals are a common and highly effective treatment that helps save your natural teeth while relieving pain and discomfort.

Why Root Canals Are Necessary

Root canals (endodontic therapy) are helpful when the nerve of your tooth becomes infected or begins to die. Usually, this is because of a deep cavity or previous traumatic injury to the tooth. The nerve inside of the tooth can lead to severe pain and abscesses that will not resolve on their own.

Here are some reasons why root canals are usually recommended:

Pain Relief :

A root canal helps alleviate the intense pain caused by the infection or inflammation of the tooth’s nerve. By removing the infected tissue and cleaning out the nerve chamber, the source of pain is removed.

Preserving Your Natural Tooth :

Unlike extractions, a root canal allows us to save your natural tooth. Preserving your original tooth is always the preferred option as it maintains proper biting and chewing functions and prevents the need for more extensive dental work like bridges or implants.

Preventing Spread of Infection :

Dental abscesses can spread to other parts of your mouth or even into your bloodstream, leading to more serious health issues.

Maintaining the Shape of Your Bite and Facial Profile :

Losing a tooth can impact the structure of your jaws and tooth alignment, potentially causing premature aging in your face.

Modern techniques and resources have made root canals much more comfortable and efficient. Here’s what you can expect during your root canal treatment at Elite Dental of Inverness:

Initial Consultation

Dr. Patel will examine your tooth and may take X-rays to assess the extent of the damage. Based on the findings, he will discuss your options, including the possibility of a root canal.

Local Anasthesia

Before the procedure begins, a local anesthetic will be administered to ensure you

Removing The Infected Pulp

Dr. Patel will create a small access opening in the tooth and carefully remove the infected or damaged nerve tissues. The area is then cleaned and disinfected.

Filling & Sealing

After cleaning, the empty space inside the tooth is filled with a special material and sealed to prevent future infections.

Restoration

In most cases, a crown will be placed over the treated tooth to protect and strengthen it. This crown is custom-made to match your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance.
