Root Canal Treatment

Overview

At Ray Lawson Dentistry, we specialize in providing top-notch dental care. Our expert team performs a vital dental procedure known as endodontic treatment or root canal therapy. This procedure is meticulously carried out to address issues like infected or inflamed dental pulp, which is the delicate inner tissue of the tooth. Our approach involves skillfully removing the affected pulp, meticulously cleansing the root canals, and meticulously sealing them to thwart any future infections. Our primary goal with root canal treatment is to preserve your natural tooth while effectively relieving dental discomfort.

By rescuing your natural tooth, we eliminate the necessity for extraction and circumvent potential complications linked to tooth loss.

Procedure Practise

Comprehensive Assessment and Diagnosis: Our dedicated dental professionals, whether dentists or specialized endodontists, conduct a thorough examination of the tooth’s condition. Utilizing X-ray technology, we gauge the extent of dental pulp and surrounding structure damage. This comprehensive evaluation guides us in confirming the necessity of root canal therapy.
Painless Anesthesia: Prior to the procedure, we administer local anesthesia to numb both the tooth and the adjacent area, ensuring your comfort throughout.
Access to Dental Pulp: By creating a carefully placed access point, typically through the tooth’s biting surface or rear portion, we gain entry to the dental pulp and root canals.
Precise Removal of Affected Pulp: Armed with specialized tools, our proficient team extracts the compromised dental pulp from the pulp chamber and root canals. A meticulous cleaning and shaping process readies the canals for thorough disinfection.
Thorough Disinfection and Irrigation: To eliminate bacteria and debris, our experts conduct a meticulous cleaning and irrigation process within the root canals, employing antimicrobial solutions.
Effective Sealing and Filling: We employ a biocompatible substance called gutta-percha to fill the cleansed and disinfected canals, which are subsequently sealed to prevent any potential re-infection.
Restorative Measures: Ray Lawson Dentistry ensures the access point created during the root canal procedure is skillfully filled and restored. In certain instances, our team may recommend the application of a dental crown to provide added strength and safeguarding for the treated tooth.
