Root Canals at Marvel Smiles: Restoring Oral Health With Gentle Care

At Marvel Smiles, we understand that the words "root canal" can induce feelings of fear and anxiety for many patients. We're here to change that perception by providing compassionate, expert care and transforming root canal therapy into a comfortable and virtually pain-free experience.

What are Root Canals?

A root canal, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure designed to save your natural tooth when the innermost part, the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected. This can happen due to deep decay, a cracked or chipped tooth, or trauma. The pulp houses the tooth's nerves and blood vessels. When this area becomes compromised, it can lead to severe pain and sensitivity, and if left untreated, can result in an abscess or even the loss of the tooth.
​
Root canal treatment is a well-practiced, safe, and effective method of preserving your natural tooth and relieving your discomfort. At Marvel Smiles, we have made it our mission to provide this treatment with utmost gentleness and precision.

The Marvel Smiles Root Canal Experience

The process starts with a thorough diagnosis using state-of-the-art imaging technology to assess the extent of the infection. If a root canal is needed, here's what you can expect from us:

1. Comfort is Key: We prioritize your comfort at every stage of treatment. We will begin by administering local anesthesia to numb the area completely, so you'll feel no pain during the procedure.

2. Expert Treatment: Once you are comfortable, our skilled dental team will create a small opening in the top of the tooth to access the infected pulp. Using specialized tools, the infected tissue is gently removed, and the inner chamber of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
​
3. Tooth Restoration: After the infection has been cleared, the empty pulp chamber and root canals are filled with a biocompatible material to maintain the tooth's structure. Most often, the tooth is then sealed with a dental crown, to provide further protection and restore the tooth's function and aesthetic appearance.

4. Follow-Up Care: Post-treatment, we'll provide detailed instructions for home care and arrange for any necessary follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure the best possible outcome.

Our team at Marvel Smiles has successfully performed countless root canal treatments, leveraging the latest techniques and technologies to make the procedure as comfortable and efficient as possible.
