Root Canal treatments are carried out when the inside of the tooth (the root or pulp) becomes infected or damaged, causing the root to be very painful and creating inflammation with the risk of severe pain and swelling. Root Canal Treatment eliminates the cause of the pain by completely removing the diseased or damaged tissue from the tooth. The root canal is meticulously cleaned, shaped and decontaminated, before securely filling it back up with a durable, inert material.
This means you can be pain free whilst still keeping your original tooth.There have been great innovations in the last few years to improve the comfort, speed and efficiency of this treatment.
Prosthodontics, also known as prosthetic dentistry, focuses on restoring natural teeth or placing a natural looking substitute in order to replace missing teeth or a part of the mouth. These can be both permanent or temporary placements.
