Preserve your natural teeth with root canal therapy in Mitcham at Den Dental

At Den Dental in Mitcham, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive root canal treatment and retreatment options to save your natural tooth and restore your oral health.

When a tooth is severely decayed or infected, our skilled dentists perform a meticulous procedure to remove the infected tissue, including the nerves and blood vessels, from inside the tooth. This process eliminates the source of infection and prevents its spread, alleviating pain and discomfort.

During root canal treatment, we ensure your comfort by administering local anesthesia to numb the area. Our experienced dentists use advanced techniques and modern equipment to clean and disinfect the tooth’s canals thoroughly. We then seal the canals with a safe material called gutta-percha to prevent reinfection and restore the tooth’s structural integrity.

In some cases, a tooth that has previously undergone root canal treatment may develop issues or become reinfected. Our retreatment options address these situations. Our dentists carefully remove the existing filling and examine the tooth to identify any remaining infection. They meticulously clean, disinfect, and refill the canals to eliminate all bacteria and restore the tooth’s health.

At Den Dental, we prioritise your comfort and ensure that you receive efficient and accurate care during root canal treatments and retreatments. We strive to make the procedure as painless as possible, thanks to local anesthesia and advancements in dental techniques. Our goal is to alleviate your pain, save your natural tooth, and preserve its function and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

about root canal treatment and retreatment

A root canal is necessary when the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. It is performed to save the natural tooth rather than extracting it. Saving the tooth through root canal treatment offers numerous benefits, including preserving proper chewing function, maintaining the natural appearance of your smile, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting, and avoiding the need for more extensive dental procedures like bridges or implants.

Contrary to common misconceptions, root canal treatment is not typically painful. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that you remain comfortable and experience minimal discomfort during the treatment. With advancements in dental techniques and anesthesia, most patients report feeling relief from the pain they experienced before the root canal.

The duration of a root canal treatment depends on various factors, such as the location of the tooth, the complexity of the case, and the presence of infection. In general, a straightforward root canal treatment can be completed in one or two visits, with each visit lasting about 60 to 90 minutes. However, more complex cases or the need for retreatment may require additional visits to ensure the best possible outcome.

Root canal retreatment is necessary when a tooth that has previously undergone root canal treatment develops new issues or becomes reinfected. This may occur due to factors such as persistent infection, inadequate sealing of the canals, the presence of additional canals that were missed during the initial treatment, or the development of new decay or damage. Root canal retreatment aims to address these concerns and save the tooth from extraction.
