Root Canal

Root canal therapy is a widely performed dental procedure that effectively treats infected or damaged teeth. During the procedure, the damaged tissue within the tooth's inner chamber, known as the root canal, is carefully removed and replaced with a filling material. This highly effective treatment is utilized for addressing severe decay, infection, trauma, or any other form of tooth damage.

Root canal therapy can help save damaged teeth that were otherwise beyond repair due to infection or advanced decay. During the procedure, Dr. Wong will carefully remove any infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth before filling it with a special material called gutta-percha. This material is biocompatible and helps prevent further damage and decay from occurring within the tooth's inner chamber. After the filling is placed, a crown may be placed over the tooth to protect it from further damage and improve its appearance.
