Conservative dentistry focuses on treating decay and damage while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. Endodontics — commonly known as root canal treatment — goes a step further, treating infection inside the tooth's root canal so the tooth can be saved instead of extracted.
At Ivory Dental, our specialists use rotary endodontic instruments and digital diagnostics to make root canal treatment comfortable, precise and typically completed in one or two visits.
Common signs you may need this treatment include tooth sensitivity to hot or cold, visible decay, or a dull ache when chewing. During a root canal, we remove the infected pulp, clean and shape the canal, then seal it and restore the tooth with a filling or crown — most patients feel little to no discomfort thanks to modern local anaesthesia.
Not sure if this applies to you? Here are common signs our patients mention before their visit.
Sharp or throbbing pain that lingers after hot or cold food, or pain when biting down.
Swollen, tender gums near a tooth, sometimes with a small bump or pimple.
Decay that has reached the inner pulp of the tooth, visible on an X-ray.
A tooth that has darkened, often a sign the nerve inside is damaged.
A clear, step-by-step approach so you know exactly what happens at every visit.
We assess the tooth with a digital X-ray to check the extent of decay or infection.
The area is numbed completely so the procedure is pain-free.
Infected pulp is removed and the canal is cleaned, shaped and disinfected.
The canal is sealed and the tooth is restored with a filling or crown for lasting strength.
Answers to what patients most often ask about conservative dentistry & endodontics.
With modern anaesthesia and techniques, root canal treatment feels similar to getting a routine filling — most patients report far less discomfort than the toothache that led them in.
Most root canal treatments at Ivory Dental are completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth and severity of infection.
Back teeth usually need a crown after root canal treatment to protect the tooth from fracture during chewing.
