Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is used to treat a tooth that has a deep infection or severe pain. The dentist removes the infected nerve, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further problems. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, making it comfortable and stress-free. After treatment, a crown may be placed to protect the tooth and restore its strength.
A root canal helps save your natural tooth, prevents infection from spreading, and stops the pain caused by inflammation. It is one of the most effective ways to avoid tooth extraction and maintain long-term oral health.
Endodontic Retreatment
Retreatment is needed when a tooth that had a previous root canal becomes painful again or develops a new infection. This happens when bacteria re-enter the tooth due to deep decay, cracks, or old fillings.
During retreatment, the dentist reopens the tooth, removes the old material, cleans the canals again, and reseals them carefully. This restores the tooth and prevents further infection.
Retreatment gives the tooth a second chance to heal and function normally. It helps avoid extraction and keeps your natural tooth healthy for a longer time.
Internal Bleaching
Internal bleaching helps lighten a tooth that has darkened after a previous root canal treatment. The discoloration happens when the inside of the tooth absorbs stains or blood pigments.
The dentist places a safe whitening material inside the tooth to gently brighten it from within. The procedure is painless and usually requires one or two visits.
Internal bleaching restores a natural, even color and blends the tooth with the rest of your smile. It is a simple and effective way to improve appearance without replacing the tooth.
