About Root Canal Therapy
At Victory Smiles, our main goal is to preserve natural teeth whenever possible. We use root canal therapy to fix serious tooth problems and save your tooth.
The purpose of the root canal is to remove the damaged or infected tooth pulp and seal the tooth. This addresses the problem and protects the tooth from further damage.
What Happens During a Root Canal Procedure?
Here’s a simple breakdown of the steps in a root canal at Victory Smiles:
- First, the dentist uses a local anesthetic to numb the area. This ensures a pain-free process.
- Next, we remove the compromised tooth pulp
- The dentist then thoroughly cleans out the tooth’s root canal to ensure it’s debris-free.
- Lastly, the dentist will seal the tooth with a dental crown or filling.
The entire process is straightforward and efficient. Typically, our root canal dentist completes the procedure within 90 minutes. Before your treatment, the dentist will share a full breakdown of what to expect and how long it will take.
