Root Canal Treatment (Under Microscope)

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and saves a tooth that might otherwise be lost. At ChilliDent endodontics is performed under a surgical microscope by dentists focused on this work, which aids accuracy in finding and treating fine canals. The fee depends on how many canals the tooth has, and a protective crown is usually recommended afterwards for back teeth.

Inside every tooth is a soft core of nerve and blood vessels called the pulp. When this becomes infected or irreversibly inflamed — through deep decay, a crack or trauma — it can cause significant pain and, untreated, lead to an abscess. Root canal (endodontic) treatment relieves this by removing the diseased pulp, disinfecting and shaping the narrow canals inside the roots, and sealing them, allowing the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. At ChilliDent root-canal treatment is carried out under a surgical operating microscope by dentists who concentrate on endodontics. The magnification and lighting help the clinician locate all the canals — including fine or hidden ones — clean them thoroughly and seal them well, which is central to a good long-term outcome. Treatment is performed under local anaesthetic, usually with a rubber dam to keep the tooth clean and dry, and the cost is set by the complexity of the tooth: front teeth typically have one canal, while molars may have four or more. The clinic also handles retreatment of teeth that were root-filled previously but have flared up again, and offers supporting procedures such as rebuilding a tooth so it can be treated. Because a root-treated back tooth becomes more brittle, a crown is usually recommended afterwards to protect it, quoted separately. Your dentist will confirm the diagnosis, the likely number of visits and the prognosis for the tooth before starting.
