What to Expect During Your Root Canal Treatment at Mirror Lake Dentistry
We strive to make your root canal experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here’s a breakdown of what will happen during your visit to our Heartland office:
Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation and X-rays
When you visit our office, we'll discuss your symptoms and concerns. Our dentist will thoroughly examine your tooth and take X-rays to assess the infection and ensure the proper course of treatment.
Step 2: Administering Local Anesthesia
To ensure a pain-free experience, we will apply local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth. This allows us to perform the procedure without causing any discomfort or pain.
Step 3: Cleaning and Shaping the Root Canals
Once you’re numb, our dentist will make a small opening in your tooth to access the pulp chamber. The infected pulp will be removed, and the root canals will be cleaned and shaped to prepare for filling. This step ensures that all infection is cleared out.
Step 4: Sealing and Filling the Tooth
Once the canals are thoroughly cleaned, we’ll fill them with a safe, biocompatible material to help prevent any future infections. The tooth will be sealed, and a temporary filling may be placed.
Step 5: Follow-up Restoration
In many cases, a crown is necessary to provide added protection and support to the treated tooth. We'll schedule a follow-up visit to check on your recovery and place a permanent restoration, ensuring the tooth heals properly.
