Our experience covers a wide spectrum, from straightforward root canals to more complex cases, and we use modern techniques and equipment to deliver careful treatment. Your path to a healthier, more comfortable smile starts here at Post House Dental.
We are following these types of root canal treatments are offered:
- Conventional Treatment: This is the most common type of root canal treatment, where the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp, and cleans and shapes the canal.
- Apicoectomy: This is a surgical procedure performed when the root canal has failed, or when the infection has spread beyond the root end. During an apicoectomy, the dentist removes the infected tissue and the tip of the root and seals the area to prevent further infection.
- Microscopic Treatment: This type of root canal treatment uses a microscope to enhance the dentist's vision and help them clean and shape the canal more effectively.
- Same-Day Treatment: In some cases, the dentist may be able to perform a treatment in one appointment, rather than over several visits. This is known as a same-day root canal treatment.
It's important to note that the type of root canal treatment a patient requires depends on the extent of the infection or damage to the pulp, as well as the tooth's location and anatomy. Our dentist can help determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
