Are you suffering from persistent tooth pain that won't go away? Do you wince every time you sip a cold drink or take a bite of something hot? Have you noticed a darkening or discoloration of one of your teeth? Is there swelling in your gums around a particular tooth? If any of these symptoms sound familiar, you may need a root canal. But don't worry - we're here to help!

At Smile Dental and Implant Centre, we understand how tooth pain can disrupt your busy life and leave you feeling miserable. Our team of experienced, caring dental professionals is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality endodontic care in a comfortable, state-of-the-art setting. We know that the thought of a root canal may seem intimidating or scary. That's why we go above and beyond to ensure your experience is as painless and stress-free as possible.

So what exactly is a root canal? It's a very common procedure designed to repair and save a badly infected tooth. Beneath your tooth's outer enamel and within the dentin is an area of soft tissue called the pulp, which contains the tooth's nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a crack or chip in the tooth, it can cause a lot of pain. If left untreated, it can lead to an abscess or even tooth loss.

During a root canal, the damaged pulp is removed from inside the tooth and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to protect it from further damage. Contrary to popular belief, modern root canal treatment is usually no more uncomfortable than having a cavity filled, thanks to advanced techniques and effective anesthesia. Most patients report that they feel significant relief from their tooth pain almost immediately after the procedure.

As a leading Dental clinic in AS Rao Nagar, Ecil, Kapra, we use the latest technology and equipment to perform root canals efficiently and effectively, including:

  • Digital X-rays and 3D imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment planning
  • Electronic apex locators to accurately determine the length of the root canal
  • Nickel-titanium rotary files for faster, more thorough cleaning and shaping of the canal
  • Surgical operating microscopes that provide superior magnification and illumination
  • Ultrasonic instruments that allow for conservative, controlled removal of tooth structure
  • Specialized heating devices to create a dense, durable filling of the canal space

Best of all, we make the root canal process as convenient and accessible as possible by offering extended weekday hours and Saturday appointments to fit your busy schedule. We provide a range of flexible payment options, and EMI facilities, to help make your treatment more affordable.
