Edmonton Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy can help save a badly damaged tooth from extraction in Edmonton. Because teeth are unable to heal themselves from disease or trauma to the nerve, a root canal is a critical treatment option. Sana Dental is pleased to offer this simple, safe, and effective treatment that can save diseased, infected, or fractured teeth from extraction.

A root canal treatment is made up of a series of steps that, depending on your situation, may be completed in one dental visit or several.

• The first step is to open up the inner portion of your tooth. A local anesthetic will be applied to ensure that you remain pain-free and comfortable throughout the procedure.
• Step two is called a pulpectomy. In this step, the diseased pulp is removed, and then the inner chamber is thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prepare it for a filling.
• The use of the Light Walker Laser pips technique.
• Next, a rubbery material called gutta-percha is inserted into the cleaned-out chamber, and sealed into place. If the tooth requires additional support, a carbon fiber post may be placed in the canal to strengthen it. If your root canal will take more than one visit, a temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth between visits.
• The final step may consist of the placement of a crown over the tooth to restore its shape and appearance.
