When decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal treatment can relieve pain and save the tooth rather than losing it to extraction. At Align & Shine, endodontic treatment is carried out with an emphasis on comfort and a clear explanation of what's happening at every step.
Removing infected or inflamed pulp, cleaning the canal, and sealing it to stop pain and prevent reinfection.
A custom cap placed over a treated or weakened tooth to restore strength, shape, and bite function.
A supportive foundation built inside a root-canal-treated tooth before a crown is placed, for teeth with significant structural loss.
Glass ionomer cement fillings, often used for smaller cavities or as an interim restoration.
Tooth-coloured resin fillings that blend naturally with surrounding enamel.
A fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent teeth.
Modern root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthesia and is generally no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most of the pain patients associate with root canals is actually from the infection itself, which the treatment relieves.
Most cases are completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth and the extent of infection, followed by a separate visit to fit a crown if needed.
