Are there any alternatives to root canal therapy?

Root canal therapy in Blacktown is a way to save a deeply infected tooth from loss and eliminate oral pain and swelling.

If you need root canal therapy, you have an infection deep in your tooth’s root. This infection can cause excruciating pain if left untreated. You may also notice a blister on the gum with swelling.

In some cases, if the infection is significant and the tooth is beyond repair, your dentist may recommend extraction, an alternative to root canal therapy. However, replacing the extracted tooth is vital to keeping your smile healthy and your teeth in line. Extraction can lead to tooth shifting and future tooth loss.

We believe the best replacement option is a dental implant in Blacktown due to its longevity and stability.  

About Root Canal Therapy

Many patients report that root canal therapy is not painful. We numb the treatment site and use modern methods to clear the infection from your tooth. We later enclose the tooth with a dental crown, a tooth-shaped cap, customised to match your unrestored teeth.

A tooth root infection is a dental emergency that needs professional treatment immediately.
