Saving Your Tooth and Restoring Your Smile

Preserve Your Natural Smile with Root Canal Treatment

At A1 Dental, we understand the importance of preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. Root Canal Treatment is a specialised procedure designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth, preventing the need for extraction.

Our experienced clinicians perform root canal therapy with precision and care, ensuring that you can maintain a healthy, functional smile.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root Canal Treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, focuses on saving a tooth that has experienced significant decay, infection, or trauma.

The procedure involves the removal of the infected or damaged dental pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. By eliminating the infected pulp and disinfecting the root canals, we can halt the spread of infection and preserve the tooth’s structure.

Personalised Treatment Process

Each tooth has a unique root system and canals, and the number of canals varies depending on the tooth and individual anatomical structure. During your root canal treatment, our highly skilled clinicians will thoroughly assess your specific case to determine the number and location of the canals, ensuring comprehensive cleaning and disinfection.

Depending on the severity of the infection, we may place specific medications inside the canals to aid in the healing process. Your clinician will discuss the treatment timeline and any necessary follow-up appointments to ensure optimal outcomes.

Preserving Your Tooth's Structure

After the infected pulp is removed, the tooth structure becomes brittle as it no longer receives a blood supply. To protect the tooth from potential fractures and strengthen its structure, we recommend completing the treatment with a dental crown.

Our dental team will provide you with an in-depth explanation of the crown procedure, and together, we will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and preferences.

Comprehensive Consultations and Modern Techniques

At A1 Dental, we believe in transparent communication and patient-centred care. Before commencing any root canal treatment, we offer comprehensive consultations with our highly experienced clinicians.

During these consultations, we will discuss and explain the recommended treatment plan, associated costs, and any potential risks involved. Our use of modern root canal techniques contributes to faster healing times and minimises post-treatment discomfort, allowing you to resume your normal activities with a restored smile.

Flexible Payment Plans

We understand that dental treatments can be a financial consideration for some patients. To make root canal treatment accessible, we offer convenient payment plans through Afterpay, HUMM, and ZipMoney.

These options allow you to manage the cost of your treatment over manageable instalments, so you can prioritise your oral health without financial strain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is root canal treatment painful?

Root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring that the procedure itself is pain-free. During the recovery period, some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers as directed by your dentist.

The purpose of root canal treatment is to alleviate the pain caused by the infected tooth, and with modern techniques and medications, patients often experience faster healing and less pain during the process.

What happens if I delay or avoid root canal treatment?

Delaying or avoiding root canal treatment can have serious consequences for your oral health. If the infected tooth is left untreated, the infection can spread to the surrounding tissues and even to other teeth.

This can lead to more extensive dental issues, such as abscesses, bone loss, and the need for tooth extraction. It is essential to seek prompt dental care and undergo root canal treatment to save the affected tooth and prevent further complications.
