Details.
A procedure to remove infected or damaged tooth pulp while preserving the natural tooth. The dentist numbs the surrounding tissues, creates an opening, extracts the pulp, disinfects and reshapes the inner chamber, fills it with gutta-percha, and creates a temporary crown. iTero digital imaging is used for crown fabrication, followed by a second appointment to bond the permanent crown. Root canals can help prevent shifting teeth, maintain the natural bite, prevent bone and gum tissue loss, and treat sensitivity to extreme temperatures.
