What is Endodontic Treatment?

Endodontic treatment, commonly known as a root canal, is a specialized dental procedure designed to treat issues affecting the innermost layer of your teeth—the pulp. This vital procedure becomes necessary when the pulp becomes infected, inflamed, or injured due to decay, trauma, or other dental issues.
In Serene Smile Dental Clinic, our Drs provide various endodontic treatment:
  • Pulpectomy/Pulpotomy (For children or emergency cases)
  • Vital pulp therapy
  • Incisor root canal therapy
  • Premolar root canal therapy
  • Molar root canal therapy
  • Crack tooth management

Signs You May Need Endodontic Treatment:

Endodontic Procedures:

Diagnosis & Anesthesia
  • Thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to identify the source of the issue.
  • Minimal to painless local anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience.
Cleaning and Disinfection
  • The affected pulp is removed, and the root canal is cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
Filling/Crowning to Seal
  • The space is filled with a biocompatible material, and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection.

Importance of a Dental Crown

A dental crown, also known as a cap, is highly recommended after root canal treatment.
Here's why:
Protection
A crown provides a protective barrier, preventing the treated tooth from fracture or further damage.
Restoration of Function
It restores the strength and functionality of the tooth, allowing you to chew and bite without concerns.
Aesthetics
Crowns are designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and attractive appearance.

Always had my dental visit here because Dr Shern and the nurses is very helpful and I am feeling very comfortable despite going through major procedures like tooth extraction and dental fillings. I did my scaling & teeth whitening here too. For all the services I would rate 5/5.Dr will give explanations and suggestions before any of the procedures. During the procedure he will comfort me to & will let me know what he will do next. After the procedures his team will follow up via WhatsApp.So I would say this is one of the best dental clinic I have visited.

As soon as I entered the clinic, I was greeted with warm smiles from the receptionist. The waiting area was pristine, adorned with modern decor and comfortable seating that immediately put me at ease. Dr Lin approach to patient care is truly exemplary. She began with a detailed consultation, listening attentively to my concerns and asking insightful questions about my dental history and current issues. Her ability to communicate clearly and emphatically made me feel valued and understood. The clinic’s commitment to ongoing care was evident in their follow-up process. I received a courtesy message from the dental nurse called Eva the next day to check on my wellbeing and answer any post appointment questions. This continued care and attention to detail left a lasting impression and reinforced my trust in their services. They have set a new standard of excellence in my book, and I look forward to my next appointment with newfound confidence and ease.

All About Root Canal Treatment

Is endodontic treatment painful?
With modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is typically not painful. Patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
What happens during the endodontic procedure?
The dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the root canal, and seals the space with a biocompatible material. In some cases, a crown may be recommended to protect the tooth.
How long does an endodontic treatment take?
The duration depends on the complexity of the case. Generally, a root canal can be completed in one or two appointments.
Is there an alternative to endodontic treatment, like extraction?
While extraction is an option, preserving natural teeth through endodontic treatment is usually the preferred choice, as it helps maintain the function and aesthetics of the smile.
How long is the recovery period after endodontic treatment?
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some may experience mild discomfort for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Are there any risks or complications associated with endodontic treatment?
Complications are rare, but like any medical procedure, there are potential risks. Your dentist will discuss these with you beforehand and take necessary precautions to minimize them.
Is a dental crown always necessary after endodontic treatment?
While not always mandatory, a dental crown is often recommended to protect the treated tooth, especially if it's a back tooth subjected to more chewing forces. The crown restores strength and helps prevent future fractures.
What types of materials are used in bone augmentation procedures?
Various materials, including autografts (your own bone), allografts (donor bone), synthetic materials, and xenografts, may be used based on individual needs. We'll discuss the most suitable option for your case during the consultation.
