Relieve Pain and Save Your Tooth
Root canals are often necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or injury. Our endodontists will carefully remove the infected tissue, clean and disinfect the root canals, and seal the tooth to prevent further infection. This procedure can relieve pain, save your tooth, and restore your smile's health and function. read more
Advanced Technology and Techniques
At OFFDENTAL, we utilize the latest technology and techniques to ensure a comfortable and efficient root canal treatment. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to perform precise, minimally invasive procedures, reducing discomfort and promoting faster healing.
Preserve Your Tooth's Natural Structure
One of the biggest benefits of root canal treatment is that it allows us to preserve the natural structure of your tooth. When a tooth is severely decayed or infected, it may need to be extracted. However, with root canal treatment, we can save the tooth by removing the infected pulp and filling the canals with a special material. This helps to prevent further decay and infection, and allows us to restore the tooth to its natural shape and function. read more
Why should you consider a Root Canal?
A root canal can save your natural tooth and prevent the need for more extensive dental treatments. By alleviating severe tooth pain, preserving your tooth's appearance and function, and preventing infection spread, a root canal can be a game-changer for your oral health. Plus, it's often more cost-effective than extraction and replacement options, making it a wise choice for maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile.
Types of root canal treatments
These procedures involve removing infected pulp tissue, with pulpotomy involving the removal of a small portion of the tooth's pulp and pulpectomy involving complete removal of the infected pulp tissue. Our state-of-the-art equipment and techniques ensure a comfortable and efficient experience.
