Root Canal Treatment in Ashburton
A toothache can upset your entire day. When infection or deep decay reaches the nerve of a tooth, the discomfort can feel unbearable, and ignoring it only makes things worse.
If you’ve been told you need a root canal, you might feel anxious about the procedure, but our team at Aesthetic Mee Dental Surgery is here to help. With a dentist who knows how to numb teeth properly and work efficiently, root canal therapy is usually straightforward and often more manageable than patients expect.
A Modern, Efficient Approach to Care
Our team uses digital X-rays and modern rotary instruments to assess the problem and perform care efficiently while you’re completely numb.
We’ve heard too many stories of patients who endured multiple injections while receiving care elsewhere and still felt everything during their appointment. That’s not how it should be. We properly numb the tooth before we begin, so you may find peace of mind.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Root canal therapy is designed to save a tooth that’s infected or severely damaged. During the procedure, we gently remove the infected or inflamed nerve tissue from inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the canals, and seal them to help prevent future infection.
Because we use digital X-rays and rotary instruments, we can work efficiently and precisely. Many root canals can be completed in a single appointment, though we may recommend two or three visits to support the long-term health of the tooth. You’ll be able to drive yourself home afterwards and return to your normal routine quickly.
Caring for Your Tooth After Your Visit
In most cases, a root canal is followed by a crown to preserve the structure and strength of the tooth. The crown acts as a protective cap, reducing the risk of chips or fractures and allowing you to chew and smile with confidence. With proper care and regular six-monthly check-ups, our patients with a root canal-treated tooth and a crown have had them for many years.
