    Root Canal Therapy

    Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure that is used to treat infections in the tooth. The first step of the procedure is to remove the infected tissue from the tooth. Once the infection has been removed, the tooth is then sealed and filled with a special material. Root canal therapy is usually successful in treating infections and saving teeth. However, if the infection is left untreated, it can spread to other parts of the mouth and cause more serious problems.

    Gisborne Dentist offers root canal therapy as part of our comprehensive dental care services. Our experienced dentists will work diligently to ensure that your infection is removed and your tooth is saved. Contact us today to schedule an appointment for root canal therapy.

    What Happens After Root Canal Treatment?

    Root canal treatment is a common dental procedure that is used to save a tooth that has been damaged by decay or infection. The procedure involves removing the damaged tissue from inside the tooth and then sealing the tooth to prevent further damage. In most cases, root canal treatment is successful and the tooth can be saved. However, there are some risks associated with the procedure. There is a small chance that the infection will spread to surrounding teeth or that the root canal will become reinfected. In addition, root canal treatment can sometimes weaken the tooth, making it more susceptible to breakage. Despite these risks, root canal treatment is often the best option for saving a damaged tooth. With proper care, most teeth that have undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime.

    After the procedure is complete, it is important to have a permanent restoration, such as a crown, placed on the tooth to protect it from breakage. In most cases, the tooth will function just like any other tooth after the treatment is complete. However, it is important to see your dentist regularly and to practice good oral hygiene habits to help ensure that the root canal does not become infected again.

    Gisborne Dental are amazing! They accepted my 6 year old son to get his first filling, with only a few hours notice on a weekend. Dr Clara was so good with him, and made what could have been a very traumatic experience - a memorable fun time, that my son enjoyed and he can't wait to go back. We really appreciated the service from start to finish, definitely 5 stars!

    Gisborne Dental Group was recommended to me and I’m so glad it was. I used to travel to Melbourne for dental care and while my previous dentist was good (just very expensive), Gisborne Dental Group has been far superior in every way. Their customer service is outstanding, the team is incredibly knowledgeable, and their pricing is much more reasonable. Everyone is friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. I honestly can’t recommend Gisborne Dental Group highly enough

    Wonderful first visit at Gisborne Dental Group. I’m anxious at the dentists but their equipment and approach made the exam and cleaning comfortable and quick. I especially loved the 360-degree xray, which allowed them to spot problem areas and make sure the cleaning was extra thorough. Great approach to preventative care.

    Due to a recent house move from the Peninsular, I was recommended to this Practice by my previous regular dentist of 10 years. And since my first visit I am now fully satisfied that they will keep my custom.

    From the moment my nervous little self entered after many years of no dental work due to trauma. I felt calm and in control of this situation. Josh was nothing but understanding and caring of my needs and concerns. Once my comprehensive exam was complete i was then blessed with an amazing hygienist Trish who was also very caring and understanding of my anxiety and talked me through every step she took, the way they both interacted with myself was truly an amazing experience.
