Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment Hoppers Crossing

Root Canal is also known as Endodontic Treatment. The procedure eliminates bacteria from the infected root canal or the nerve present inside the tooth. Our excellent dentists remove the infected pulp at the first stage of root canal treatment; then the area is cleaned and disinfected, post which it is filled and sealed.

If a tooth with the symptoms mentioned above is not treated, it may not just cause discomfort, but the infection also poses potential health risks. Some of the common reasons why one may have an infected root canal include cracked or chipped tooth, dental trauma (physical injury to the tooth), and deep decay. Most of the time the reason may not be known.

At Hoppers Crossing Family Dentist, we offer dental treatments at the hands of experienced dentists who are trained with the usage of modern dentistry tools to perform root canal treatments. Depending on the severity of infection, up to three dental visits may be required for the treatment of the root canal.

The Process of Root Canal Treatment Hoppers Crossing

The dentist performing the root canal treatment will drill a small tooth in the damaged tooth – for the front tooth, the drill is done at the back, and for the molars, the hole is made on top. Our caring dentist then uses special endodontic instruments to clean the infected nerve space, thoroughly. Once the nerve is cleaned, an antibiotic solution is applied to cleanse the nerve chamber of any bacteria that might be remaining.

The dentist uses a thick rubber-like material known as ‘gutta-percha’ to fill the root chamber. It eliminates any chances of infection from reoccurring in the future and seals the tooth with a filing.

People who have undergone root canal treatment are advised to place a dental crown over the treated tooth. Cleaning the nerve causes loss of blood supply, and without protection, the tooth may become brittle and prone to damage in the future.

What Would it Cost to Get a Root Canal Treatment?

Approximately, the cost for root canal treatments without a crown may begin at $1K. The cost mainly depends on the severity of the condition.
