Root canal therapy is a crucial procedure offered at Fuller Smiles Culver City to save teeth that are severely decayed or infected. Our expert dental team performs this treatment with the utmost care, ensuring that your experience is as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
During a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned and disinfected before being filled and sealed with a material called gutta-percha. Finally, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for protection and to restore it to full function. At Fuller Smiles Culver City, we use the latest techniques and anesthesia options to make your root canal treatment a smooth and stress-free experience.
The goal of root canal therapy is to preserve your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction and replacement. Saving the natural tooth can prevent other teeth from drifting out of line and causing jaw problems. It also maintains your natural chewing and biting capacity.
Fuller Smiles Culver City provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a quick recovery. Most patients return to their normal activities the next day. With proper care, a tooth that has had a root canal can last a lifetime.
