Root Canal Treatment
(Endodontics)
Save Your Natural Tooth – Eliminate Pain, Restore Comfort.
At Centurion Dental Studio, we prioritise your oral health and comfort. When a tooth becomes severely infected or damaged, root canal therapy can help preserve your natural tooth, eliminate pain, and restore functionality — all while preventing the need for extraction. Our skilled dental team uses the latest technology and techniques to make your root canal experience as efficient, gentle, and successful as possible.
What to Expect
During the procedure:
- Diagnosis: A thorough clinical exam and dental X-rays will confirm infection in the tooth pulp
-
Anaesthesia: The area is numbed for a completely pain-free procedure.
-
Cleaning the Canals: The infected pulp, nerve tissue, and bacteria are removed.
- Shaping and Sealing: The canals are cleaned, shaped, disinfected, and sealed with a special biocompatible material.
- Restoration: In most cases, a post, core build-up, and dental crown are placed to restore strength, function, and aesthetics.
Symptoms You May Need a Root Canal
You might need root canal therapy if you experience:
Persistent or severe toothache
Sensitivity to hot or cold (that lingers)
Swollen or tender gums
Tooth discoloration
A pimple-like bump on the gum
Pain when chewing or touching the tooth

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal treatment (also called endodontic therapy) is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation within the pulp of the tooth — the soft inner tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels.
This infection may be caused by:
-
Deep decay or cavities
-
Cracked or fractured teeth
-
Trauma or injury
-
Leaking or failed fillings
How long does a Root Canal take?
Most root canal treatments are completed in 1 to 2 appointments, depending on the complexity of the case and whether additional infection management is needed.
