When a tooth is badly decayed or infected, Root Canal Treatment (also called endodontic therapy) can save it and eliminate pain. At Drexel Hill Family Dentistry, we offer gentle and effective root canal therapy using advanced technology to ensure a comfortable experience and long-lasting results.
1. Diagnosis & X-rays
We begin with digital X-rays and an examination to assess the infection and extent of damage.
2. Local Anesthesia
The area is numbed for a pain-free procedure.
3. Cleaning & Disinfection
We remove the infected pulp from the root canals, clean and disinfect the inner tooth.
4. Filling the Canals
The cleaned canals are sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
5. Crown Placement
A custom dental crown is placed to restore strength, function, and appearance.
Modern root canal procedures are virtually painless. With anesthesia and technology, it feels similar to getting a filling.
Most root canals are completed in 1–2 appointments, depending on the tooth and severity of infection.
Yes, in most cases a crown is recommended to protect and restore the tooth’s function and appearance.
Delaying can lead to severe infection, abscess, and may result in tooth loss or further complications.
With proper care and a crown, it can last a lifetime.
While rare, reinfection is possible. Timely crown placement and good oral hygiene help prevent this.
