state-of-the-art Root canal therapy
At Botanic Ridge Dental, we understand that the thought of a root canal can be daunting, but it’s a vital procedure for saving a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. Root canal therapy is designed to remove the infected or damaged tissue from within a tooth, relieving pain and restoring its function. With advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology, we ensure that your root canal treatment is as comfortable and effective as possible, helping you keep your natural tooth for years to come.
Root canal therapy addresses issues caused by deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth. During the procedure, our skilled team will carefully remove the infected pulp from inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the root canals, and then seal them with a biocompatible material. We will also place a crown or filling on the tooth to restore its strength and function. At Botanic Ridge Dental, our goal is to provide comprehensive care that minimizes discomfort and maximizes the longevity of your tooth.
Why Choose Botanic Ridge Dental for Root Canal Therapy
Botanic Ridge Dental offers expert root canal therapy designed to save your tooth and alleviate pain with minimal discomfort.
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth pulp. It is necessary when the pulp, which is the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels, becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated procedures. The treatment helps save the tooth and prevent further complications.
Symptoms indicating the need for a root canal include severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling in the surrounding gums, and tenderness when chewing. A dental exam and X-rays can confirm if a root canal is necessary.
The procedure itself is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the treatment. Some discomfort or mild pain may occur afterward as the area heals, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and usually resolves within a few days.

During a root canal, the dentist will remove the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth. The root canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and filled with a special material. Finally, a crown or filling is placed on the tooth to restore its function and protect it from further damage.
A root canal typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case and the number of canals involved. The procedure may be completed in a single visit or require multiple appointments, depending on your specific situation.
After a root canal, you may experience some mild discomfort or swelling, which can be managed with pain relievers. It’s important to follow your dentist’s post-operative care instructions, including avoiding hard or sticky foods and maintaining good oral hygiene to ensure proper healing.
A tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime with proper care. After the procedure, it is crucial to have a crown or filling placed to restore the tooth’s strength and function. Regular dental check-ups will help monitor the health of the treated tooth and ensure its longevity.
Yes, a tooth with a root canal can still be susceptible to decay or damage if it is not properly restored or if oral hygiene is neglected. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups are essential for keeping the tooth and surrounding tissues healthy.
Root canal therapy is a safe and effective procedure with minimal risks. Potential risks include infection, incomplete removal of the infected tissue, or damage to surrounding teeth. However, these risks are rare when the procedure is performed by a skilled dentist.
The cost of a root canal can vary depending on the tooth’s location, the complexity of the case, and whether additional treatments are needed. During your visit to Botanic Ridge Dental, we will provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss payment options or insurance coverage to help make the treatment affordable.
