Root Canal Treatment

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's Dental Clinic, we perform painless and precise root canals using modern tools and techniques — preserving your natural tooth while relieving severe pain or sensitivity.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

• Severe toothache, especially when chewing or applying pressure
• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
• Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
• A persistent pimple on the gums (dental abscess)

Our Root Canal Process

Step 1 — Assessment & Diagnosis: We carefully examine your tooth, take digital X-rays, and assess the extent of infection to confirm that root canal therapy is needed.

Step 2 — Treatment & Cleaning: The infected pulp is gently removed, the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed to prevent reinfection.

Step 3 — Restoration & Protection: A custom filling or crown is placed to restore strength, function, and a natural look, helping your tooth last for years to come.

Common Restoration Options After Root Canal

• Dental Crowns: The most common restoration, completely covering the treated tooth for reinforcement
• Tooth-Colored Fillings: For front teeth or smaller cavities, composite fillings seal and rebuild structure
• Post & Core Build-Up: If significant tooth structure is lost, a post anchors the core material supporting the final crown
