Is Root Canal Treatment The Right Option For Me?

Root canal treatment may be the right option if you are experiencing severe tooth pain or have a dental infection. This procedure is typically recommended when the pulp containing the nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth becomes infected or damaged. Root canal treatment can save your natural tooth and relieve pain, allowing you to maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.

At Salt Lake Dental, our experienced dentists will carefully evaluate your condition and discuss the best treatment options. We understand that every patient is unique, and we are committed to providing personalized care to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.

How It Works: The Root Canal Process

Image
Image

Examination And X-Rays

Our Salt Lake City dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the infection and assess the condition of the surrounding tissues.
Image

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Our team prioritizes your comfort and takes steps to minimize any discomfort or anxiety.
Image

Pulpectomy

A small access hole is created in the tooth to remove the infected pulp and clean the root canals thoroughly. The canals are shaped and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent reinfection.
Image

Filling And Sealing

The cleaned root canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha, and a dental adhesive is used to seal the access hole to prevent further infection.
Image

Restoration

In most cases, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to protect it, restore its strength, and enhance its appearance. Our dental team will ensure that the crown matches the color and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless smile.

Conditions That Root Canal Treatment Can Fix
