Root Canal Treatment at Calvert Dentistry
A root canal might be the solution if you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, swelling or sensitivity. This procedure removes the infected or damaged pulp inside your tooth, relieves pain and restores its structure. Our gentle approach ensures comfort while preserving your natural tooth and preventing future complications.

Process of Root Canal Treatment
Initial Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive exam and digital X-rays to confirm whether a root canal is needed and assess the extent of the infection.
Local Anesthesia and Preparation
We use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Removing the Infected Pulp
A small opening is made in the tooth, and the infected or damaged pulp is removed from the root canals.
Cleaning and Shaping
We thoroughly clean, disinfect and shape the canals to prepare them for filling.
Filling and Sealing
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Temporary or Permanent Restoration
Depending on your case, we may place a temporary filling or proceed with a crown to restore strength and function.
Follow-up and Final Crown
If a crown is needed, you’ll return for a final fitting. Follow-up visits ensure that the treated tooth is healing properly and remains pain-free.
