Root canal treatment, or endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure that becomes necessary when the soft tissue inside your tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed. This often happens due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or dental trauma.

The treatment involves carefully removing the damaged pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inner tooth chamber, and then sealing it to prevent future infection. Far from being a painful procedure, a root canal is a crucial tooth-saving treatment that eliminates your pain and prevents the need for an extraction.

At Amitis Dental Studio, we provide comfortable and effective root canal treatment to save your natural tooth and relieve your pain. When the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected, a root canal is the best way to get you back to a pain-free life.

Here is what you can expect from our expert team:

1. Comprehensive Diagnosis: Using advanced digital X-rays and imaging, our expert dentists will accurately diagnose the infection and assess the extent of the damage.
2. Pain-Free Procedure: We use local anesthesia to ensure the entire treatment is completely painless. You’ll feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process.
3. Thorough Cleaning: The infected pulp is carefully removed from the tooth’s root canals using state-of-the-art tools and techniques. The area is then disinfected to eliminate all bacteria.
4. Filling & Sealing: The cleaned root canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent any future infection.
5. Final Restoration: After the root canal, we’ll recommend a permanent restoration, typically a dental crown, to protect your tooth from future fractures and restore its strength and function.

There are two critical reasons why we recommend a crown after root canal therapy:

1. To Restore Strength and Prevent Fracture: A tooth that has had a root canal no longer has a living pulp, which means its internal blood and nerve supply are gone. Over time, this can make the tooth more brittle and susceptible to fracture. A dental crown acts like a helmet, covering the entire tooth to provide the necessary strength to withstand the forces of biting and chewing.
2. To Prevent Re-Infection: The crown creates a strong, final seal on top of the tooth. This prevents bacteria from getting back inside the tooth’s sensitive internal structure, which could lead to a new infection and require a second, more complicated treatment.

By investing in a dental crown, you are not just completing the treatment—you are giving your tooth the best chance of lasting a lifetime. Our team at Amitis Dental Studio can perform both your root canal and your custom-made crown, making the process seamless and convenient.

When facing a painful, infected tooth, you may wonder if a root canal is your only option. At Amitis Dental Studio, our primary goal is always to save your natural tooth whenever possible, as nothing is better than your own.

The main alternative to a root canal is a tooth extraction. While this solves the immediate problem of infection, it creates a new one: a gap in your smile. This can lead to a host of future complications, including:

• The shifting of surrounding teeth.
• Increased difficulty with biting and chewing.
• Accelerated bone loss in your jaw.

Root canal treatment is a conservative and highly successful procedure that allows you to keep your tooth, avoiding the complications and additional costs of an extraction and replacement.

If an extraction is absolutely necessary, our team will work with you to discuss options for restoring your smile, such as a dental implant—the most advanced and permanent solution—or a dental bridge.

During your consultation, our dentists will conduct a thorough examination and discuss all your options, ensuring you have the information you need to make the best decision for your long-term oral health. Our priority is to relieve your pain and preserve your beautiful smile.
