Preserve Your Tooth with Expert Root Canal Treatment

At Smiles of Lombard, we’ll make sure your root canal treatment is both comfortable and successful. Our team prioritizes your comfort by ensuring the treatment area is fully numbed with a local anesthetic. This allows you to remain relaxed throughout the process. Here’s what you can expect during your root canal procedure:

  • We’ll begin by taking detailed digital X-rays to plan your treatment precisely.
  • The area surrounding the affected tooth will be numbed to prevent any discomfort.
  • A small incision will be made in the tooth to access its inner chamber.
  • Any infected tissue inside the tooth is carefully removed.
  • The canals are cleaned, shaped, and sanitized to remove any bacteria.
  • Your dentist fills the canals with a special material to prevent reinfection and help preserve the tooth’s structure.

After the cleaning and sealing process, a temporary filling will be placed to close the tooth. Based on your specific needs, your dentist may recommend a custom crown to protect and restore the treated tooth. This strong, natural-looking cap restores its function. You’ll be able to chew and bite comfortably while avoiding additional damage.

Root canal treatments are usually completed in one or two visits, and most patients can resume their normal activities soon after. With proper care, your treated tooth can remain healthy and fully functional for years ahead.
