Although endodontics is an easy procedure to perform, it is necessary to go through different phases to guarantee an effective result.
First of all, at Prestigious Smiles Dentistry we perform an exhaustive intraoral exploration together with the appropriate X-rays to elaborate a complete diagnosis that determines the correct treatment. Once the procedure has been established, we move on to endodontics. This will always be performed under local anesthesia. To do this, our professionals must ensure that the area is not inflamed or infected. If it is, they will prescribe antibiotics and anti-inflammatories before the intervention.
During endodontics, our dentists access the dental pulp through a perforation in the crown of the tooth. They then remove the infected tissue and clean the reticular canals. Once the area is disinfected, the filling phase finally arrives. This consists of filling and sealing the cleaned canals with inert material. In some cases, tooth reconstruction is necessary. After an endodontic treatment, our professionals will return to the patient to restore the affected tooth to its original appearance.
