Root Canal Treatment in New Lynn

Root Canal Therapy, also known as Endodontic therapy and often referred to as a “root canal,” is performed when a tooth is decayed or infected and at risk of being lost, or when a previously filled tooth continues to cause pain. This treatment is carefully handled by our professional team to restore your tooth and relieve discomfort

At Auckland Family Dental New Lynn, root canal treatment is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Typically, the procedure requires two visits, one to begin and another to complete the treatment, though the number of appointments may vary depending on your specific case.

Step 1 is to gently remove infected or inflamed pulp and the tooth is then carefully shaped and disinfected.

Step 2, the canal is then filled and sealed with a material called gutta-percha. We choose the correct magnification through the use of dental loupes to ensure high focus. On completion the remaining tooth may be brittle, therefore we suggest you avoid biting or chewing especially on the treated area until a permanent crown or inlay is provided.
