Hearing the words "root canal" used to cause fear and anxiety in many patients. The reputation of pain and discomfort associated with the procedure kept people from addressing serious dental issues—until now. Thanks to advancements in dental techniques and technology, root canal therapy has transformed into a painless, highly effective treatment that saves natural teeth and relieves dental pain.
Root canal therapy is a procedure designed to treat infection or inflammation within the soft tissue (pulp) of the tooth. This inner pulp can become infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma. Rather than extracting the damaged tooth, a root canal allows your dentist to clean out the infection, disinfect the area, and seal the tooth, preserving its structure and function.
At Rarity Dental, we use modern pain-control techniques and advanced technology to ensure that root canal treatments are as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Our goal is to preserve your natural tooth while making the experience seamless from start to finish.
Contrary to popular belief, a root canal doesn't cause pain—it removes it. Infected or inflamed pulp can lead to severe toothaches, sensitivity, swelling, and abscesses. A root canal relieves these symptoms by removing the source of infection and inflammation.
Preserving your natural tooth is always the preferred option. A root canal maintains the tooth’s original structure and alignment in the jaw, preventing issues that can arise with missing teeth, such as shifting, bite changes, or bone loss
At Rarity Dental, painless root canal therapy is made possible through the use of:
Once treated and sealed, the tooth is restored with a crown that mimics its natural shape and color. This allows you to bite, chew, and smile with complete confidence, without pain or functional limitations.
A successful root canal, followed by a crown, can last many years—often a lifetime—with good oral hygiene. It prevents the spread of infection and reduces the need for future extractions or replacements.
The first step is identifying the problem. Using digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and thermal tests, we assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues. Signs of infection may include pain when biting, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration, and swelling.
Once a diagnosis is confirmed, we explain the treatment process, answer any questions, and ensure you're completely at ease before beginning.
Local anesthesia is used to numb the tooth and surrounding area. At Rarity Dental, we use advanced numbing gels and techniques that ensure complete comfort from the start.
A small protective barrier, called a rubber dam, is placed around the tooth to keep the area dry and free of saliva during treatment.
A small access opening is made in the crown of the tooth to reach the infected pulp. Using rotary instruments and ultrasonic cleaners, we gently remove the damaged tissue from the root canals.
The inside of the tooth is then disinfected using antimicrobial solutions to eliminate any remaining bacteria and prevent future infection.
The empty canals are shaped, cleaned again, and then filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. This seals the space to prevent bacterial re-entry.
After the canals are sealed, the opening is temporarily closed, or a core buildup is done to prepare the tooth for a crown.
In most cases, a crown is recommended to protect the treated tooth. The crown restores full function, strength, and appearance while preventing future damage. At Rarity Dental, our crowns are custom-designed to match your natural teeth and enhance your smile.
A root canal may be needed if you experience any of the following:
Delaying treatment can allow the infection to spread and lead to more serious complications, including tooth loss and systemic infection. Early diagnosis and treatment help preserve your natural tooth and eliminate discomfort effectively.
Root canal therapy is a reliable, long-term solution to preserve oral health and avoid tooth loss.
