Root Canal Treatment in Mitcham
At Dental Kraft Mitcham, we provide gentle and effective root canal treatment to help relieve pain, remove infection, and save your natural teeth wherever possible. Root canal treatment is designed to treat infection inside the tooth while avoiding the need for extraction.
We focus on comfortable, modern care to help patients feel at ease, even when dealing with tooth pain or dental infection.
Signs You Need Root Canal Treatment
Root canal problems often develop from deep decay, cracks, or trauma to a tooth.
You may need treatment if you experience:
- Severe or ongoing tooth pain
- Pain when chewing or biting
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening or discolouration of the tooth
- Small pimple-like swelling on the gums
If you are experiencing these symptoms, book an appointment with us today to help prevent the infection from worsening.
Root Canal Treatment and Benefits
Root canal treatment involves removing infected tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning the canals, and sealing them to prevent reinfection. At Dental Kraft, we use modern techniques to ensure treatment is as comfortable and efficient as possible.
Treatment steps include:
- Assessment and digital X-rays
- Local anaesthetic for comfort
- Removal of infected nerve tissue
- Cleaning and shaping of root canals
- Sealing and filling the tooth
Final restoration (filling or crown if needed)
Benefits of root canal treatment:
- Relieves pain and removes infection
- Saves your natural tooth
- Restores normal chewing function
- Prevents spread of infection
- Long-term, durable solution
Root canal treatment is a highly effective way to preserve your natural teeth and avoid extraction.
Advanced Microscope-Assisted RCT
At Dental Kraft Mitcham, we use a dental operating microscope during root canal treatment, allowing for a far higher level of precision compared to standard procedures performed in many general practices.
This advanced technology provides magnified, illuminated visibility inside the tooth, helping us detect and treat even the smallest and most complex root canal structures.
Benefits of microscope-assisted treatment include:
- Enhanced precision in locating all root canals
- Better removal of infected tissue
- Reduced risk of missed canals or reinfection
- Improved long-term success rates
- More conservative treatment (preserving more tooth structure)
- Higher level of detail compared to traditional “naked-eye” treatment
This technology is particularly valuable in complex or previously treated teeth, where accuracy is critical for long-term success.
