What to Expect During Your Visit

We use advanced digital X-rays to pinpoint the infection and plan your treatment precisely.
2. Numbing & Comfort
We apply local anesthesia to numb the area completely. You will feel pressure, but not pain.
3. Cleaning the Root
We create a tiny opening to remove the infected pulp, clean the canals, and disinfect the area.
4. Sealing & Restoration
The tooth is filled with a biocompatible material. Finally, we place a crown to restore the tooth's strength and appearance.
