Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. At Prudential Dental Clinic, we specialise in precise and comfortable Root Canal Therapy Sydney patients trust. Understanding the Dental Root Canal Treatment process can help ease any apprehension and prepare you for a successful outcome.

Step 1: Diagnosis and Assessment

Everything begins with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to determine the extent of tooth damage or infection. Our expert dentists assess symptoms and confirm the need for Root Canal Therapy, which Sydney relies on.

Step 2: Administering Local Anesthesia

To ensure comfort during the procedure, local anesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and the surrounding area. This makes the treatment pain-free and relaxing for you.

Step 3: Tooth Isolation with Dental Dam

The affected tooth is isolated using a dental dam, a small protective barrier that keeps the tooth dry and free from saliva during treatment, minimising contamination risks.

Step 4: Access Opening

An opening is carefully created on the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp chamber and root canals. This provides a pathway for the next steps of cleaning and treatment.

Step 5: Cleaning and Shaping the Canals

Specialised instruments remove infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside the canals. The canals are then cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to prevent further infection.

Step 6: Filling the Canals

The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called Gutta-Percha, which seals the spaces and protects the tooth from reinfection.

Step 7: Sealing the Tooth

A temporary or permanent filling is placed to close the access opening. Often, a dental crown is recommended to strengthen and restore the tooth’s function and appearance.

Step 8: Follow-Up Care

After the procedure, some sensitivity or mild discomfort is normal, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Follow-up visits ensure the tooth heals properly and functions well.
