Understanding Endodontic Procedures at Platinum Dental Care

At Platinum Dental Care, we specialize in endodontic procedures to save your natural teeth and alleviate pain. Endodontics, commonly known as root canal therapy, involves treating the inside of the tooth to eliminate infection and preserve the tooth structure.

What is an Endodontic Procedure?

An endodontic procedure treats the tooth's pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, injury, or cracks, it can cause severe pain and lead to abscesses if untreated.

The Process:

  1. Diagnosis: Our skilled dentists conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the tooth's condition.
  2. Cleaning: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned and disinfected.
  3. Filling: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent further infection.
  4. Restoration: Finally, a crown or filling is placed to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.

Benefits of Endodontic Procedures:

  • Pain Relief: Eliminates pain caused by infection or inflammation.
  • Preserves Natural Teeth: Saves your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and replacement.
  • Efficient Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities quickly after the procedure.
