What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Inside every tooth is a natural cavity that contains the tooth's pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Inflammation or infection of a tooth's inner pulp can result from deep decay or trauma, chipped or cracked teeth, or damaged dental restorations.

Root canal therapy is an endodontic procedure that's designed to remove damaged pulp tissue, restoring your healthy smile. Left untreated, the tooth pulp infection or inflammation can lead to complications, including pain, swelling, a tooth abscess, and bone loss around the tooth's root. The infection can also spread to the neighboring teeth and even enter the bloodstream, potentially leading to a host of health concerns.

What Is the Root Canal Treatment Process?

At Omnia Dental Arts, we use the latest technology and techniques to ensure your treatment is as stress-free as possible. Dr. Wirth and his team are always happy to answer your questions and concerns. Their goal is to relieve your discomfort and save the affected tooth.

The following is a look at what you can expect:

CBCT Imaging: We start by capturing 3D images of the internal structures of the affected tooth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). These intricate images help evaluate your root canals and reveal unusual, hidden, or complex root canal anatomy. CBCT imaging is instrumental in guiding treatment planning, reducing the risk of complications, and enhancing your treatment outcomes.

Your Root Canal Treatment: Once you are comfortable, Dr. Wirth will make a tiny opening in the affected tooth's crown to access and remove the inflamed or infected pulp tissue. Next, he will clean, disinfect, and reshape your root canals before placing a rubbery material known as gutta-percha to prevent reinfection. The last step is sealing the space with a temporary restoration.

Restoring Your Treated Tooth: After your root canal treatment, the affected tooth can become brittle and may easily fracture, which is why we typically recommend placing a dental crown for protection. Your restored tooth will look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, and with proper care and maintenance, it has the potential to enhance your smile for a lifetime.
