Root Canals

Understanding Root Canal Treatment

A root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or an injury. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the canal, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.

Our Process for Root Canal Treatment and Restoration

1. Diagnosis and Examination: Dr. Scott Bonin will conduct a thorough examination, including x-rays, to diagnose the need for a root canal treatment.
2. Referral to Endodontist: If a root canal is necessary, we will refer you to a trusted endodontist who specializes in the procedure. We work closely with them to ensure a smooth and effective treatment process.
3. Post-Treatment Care: After the endodontist completes the root canal treatment, you will return to Bonin Dental Care for the restoration phase.
4. Crown Placement: Dr. Bonin will prepare your tooth and place a custom-made crown to protect and restore the tooth’s function and appearance.

Benefits of Crown Restoration After Root Canal

• Protection: A crown provides a strong protective cover for the treated tooth, preventing further damage or infection.
• Durability: Crowns are made from durable materials that can withstand the pressures of chewing and biting.
• Natural Appearance: Custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless look.
• Improved Functionality: Restores the full function of your tooth, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.
