What to Expect When Visiting Our Seagoville Office for a Root Canal
At Mirror Lake Dentistry, we ensure that your root canal therapy is as comfortable and straightforward as possible:
Step 1: Initial Consultation and X-rays
We'll begin with a consultation when you arrive at our Seagoville office. Our dentist will examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the infection and assess the condition of the surrounding area.
Step 2: Local Anesthesia
Before we begin the root canal treatment, we will apply local anesthesia to numb the affected area. This ensures you're comfortable throughout the procedure and won't feel any pain during the treatment.
Step 3: Cleaning and Shaping the Root Canals
Once the area is numb, we will carefully access the pulp chamber by drilling a small hole in the tooth. We will then remove the infected pulp and clean the inside of the tooth, shaping the root canals to prepare them for filling.
Step 4: Filling and Sealing
After cleaning and shaping, we fill the root canals with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection. The tooth will be sealed, and in most cases, a crown will be placed over the tooth to protect and restore its structure.
Step 5: Final Restoration
In some cases, a final restoration is needed, such as a crown, to provide added strength and prevent further damage. We’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure your tooth heals properly and the restoration fits well.
