How is root canal therapy performed?

We use the latest reciprocating NiTi file technology - Wave One Gold by Dentsply Sirona. 

Endodontic treatment (root canal) can often be performed in one, two or three visits and involves the dentist:

  • removing the infected pulp and nerve in the root of the tooth,
  • cleaning, shaping and disinfecting the inside of the root canal,
  • filling and sealing the space.

Afterwards, you should place a crown on the tooth to protect and restore it to its original form and function.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
