What to expect?
Root canal therapy is performed by our endodontics specialists under Local Anaesthesia and it involves removing all decay and the damaged pulp from the tooth. After the pulp is removed and the canals are clean, we place the filling material inside the tooth to seal the canal so the bacteria can no longer cause more problems.
Depending on the case a root canal can be done in a single visit, when not associated to an emergency situation. If you do have an emergency and you are in pain we will usually deal with the pain first and then continue the procedure on the next visit.
We use rotary instruments instead of manual, that means your treatment will be faster and more efficient. We also use digital x-rays to monitor the progress of the treatment, all is done right there in our super comfy chair while you watch your favourite Netflix show on our ceiling mounted TV.

What happens after?
Normally, when you require a root canal treatment, the tooth has significant destruction or is severely fractured. Once the root canal has been treated and tooth has been saved, our next step is to restore this tooth for protection, so it will last a long time in your mouth. This is done with a dental crown.
At Proud Smile we can produce crowns in a single day procedure with the use of digital impressions and a milling machine. And the best part, is that you won’t need local anaesthetic, because the tooth will no longer have a nerve in it.
