Root Canal Treatment
If you have a dying tooth or infected dental nerve, endodontic therapy (root canal treatment) is typically the only way to preserve your tooth. Instead of removing and replacing it, you can extend the function of your tooth by restoring it from the inside.
You might almost think about root canal treatment like a filling that extends deeper into the tooth. It fills the empty nerve chambers down the length of the roots, as opposed to just an opening caused by decay.
The RCT treatment may take a maximum of 1-3 visits to be completed, depending on the number of canals to be treated and the complexity of the dental condition.
In nearly all root canal cases, a protective dental crown will be required once your endodontic therapy is completed.
