Root Canal Treatment
About Root Canal Treatment
We provide root canal treatment to save teeth that are infected or badly decayed, usually in one or two visits, under local anaesthesia.
Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside a tooth, eliminating pain and preventing the spread of infection. Using modern techniques and gentle anaesthesia, the procedure is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests and remains the best way to save a severely infected natural tooth.

Treatment Process
Diagnosis & X-Ray
Dr. Divya examines the tooth and takes digital X-rays to assess the extent of the infection and plan the procedure.
Local Anaesthesia
The area around the tooth is numbed completely so you feel no pain during the procedure.
Pulp Removal
A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth and the infected pulp tissue is carefully removed.
Canal Cleaning & Shaping
The root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected with precision instruments to remove all bacteria.
Sealing the Canals
The cleaned canals are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent re-infection.
Crown Placement
A permanent dental crown is placed over the tooth to restore its strength and protect it from future damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthesia and is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients are surprised by how gentle the procedure feels.
How many visits does a root canal take?
Most cases are completed in one or two appointments, depending on the severity of the infection and the complexity of the tooth's root structure.
How long does a root canal last?
A properly treated tooth with a well-fitted crown can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
What happens if I don't get a root canal?
Untreated infection can spread to surrounding teeth, bone, and even your bloodstream. In most cases, the tooth would eventually need to be extracted.
Can I eat normally after root canal treatment?
You should avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the permanent crown is placed. Once the crown is fitted, you can eat normally.
