Root Canal Therapy in SW Calgary
The Root Canal Procedure: Step-by-Step
- Examination and X-rays: We'll carefully examine your tooth and take X-rays to assess the extent of the damage and infection.
- Local Anesthesia: We'll numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Access and Pulp Removal: A small opening is made in the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals. The infected pulp is then carefully removed.
- Cleaning and Shaping: The canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prepare them for filling.
- Filling and Sealing: The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
- Restoration: A temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth. In a subsequent visit, a permanent filling or crown is placed to restore the tooth's full function and appearance.
