ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Root canal treatment is a highly effective dental procedure aimed at saving teeth that are severely damaged or infected. At our dental clinic in Matunga, we provide this procedure that involves removing the infected pulp from the tooth, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the inner chamber, and sealing it with a biocompatible material to restore health and functionality.

One of the primary benefits of root canal treatment is that it alleviates severe pain while preserving the natural tooth. This prevents the need for extraction, helping to maintain oral function and the integrity of your smile.

To ensure long-term success, a final restoration with a filling or crown is necessary to protect the tooth’s structure and strength. Once restored, the tooth can continue to function just like any other healthy tooth, allowing patients to chew and smile with confidence. At Dental Creations, we focus on delivering comfortable and precise care to safeguard your oral health.
