Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a specialized dental procedure aimed at treating infection or damage in the pulp (nerve tissue) of a tooth. At Dr. Ravi Dental Clinic, we perform painless and precise root canals using modern tools and techniques—preserving your natural tooth while relieving severe pain or sensitivity.
This treatment is recommended when decay or trauma reaches deep inside the tooth, causing inflammation, infection, or abscess. By removing the infected pulp, disinfecting the canal, and sealing it with a biocompatible material, we prevent further damage and save your tooth from extraction.
1. Dental Crowns
The most common restoration, a custom-made crown completely covers the treated tooth, reinforcing strength and preventing further damage. Ceramic or porcelain crowns are often used for natural-looking results.
2. Tooth-Colored Fillings
For front teeth or smaller cavities, a strong, tooth-colored composite filling may be used to seal and rebuild the tooth structure.
3. Post & Core Build-Up
If significant tooth structure is lost, a post may be placed inside the root canal to anchor the core material, which supports the final crown securely.
Choosing the Right Restoration
Our dentist will assess the extent of damage and recommend the best option to restore durability, function, and aesthetics. With proper restoration and care, your treated tooth can last for many years.
We carefully examine your tooth, take digital X-rays, and assess the extent of infection to confirm that root canal therapy is needed.
The infected pulp is gently removed, the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed to prevent reinfection.
A custom filling or crown is placed to restore strength, function, and a natural look, helping your tooth last for years to come.
If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around the gums, it may be a sign of infection in the tooth pulp. The first step is to consult a dentist for a proper evaluation. Through clinical examination and digital X-rays, the dentist will assess the extent of the damage and determine if a Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is needed.
At Dr. Ravi Dental Clinic, we offer advanced and painless root canal procedures designed to save your natural tooth and eliminate infection. Using the latest tools and local anesthesia, we ensure a smooth and comfortable experience during the procedure.
Common signs include toothache, prolonged sensitivity, swelling, or a pimple on the gums. X-rays help confirm the diagnosis.
No. With modern anesthesia and technology, the procedure is usually no more painful than a dental filling.
Most root canals can be completed in 1–2 visits, depending on the tooth’s condition and complexity.
The treated tooth is sealed and often restored with a crown for strength and longevity. Some mild discomfort for a few days is normal.
With proper restoration and care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime and function like a natural tooth.
