How It Works: The Root Canal Process

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

When a tooth's pulp becomes infected due to decay or trauma, root canal treatment can remove the infection and save the tooth.
