What is endodontics

Endodontics is a specialised area of dentistry that addresses issues within the tooth's pulp – the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, injury, or deep cracks, endodontic treatments like root canal therapy are used to remove the infection, relieve pain, and restore the tooth.

Why might I need endodontics?

Endodontic treatments are highly effective in relieving severe dental pain caused by infections or inflammation. They not only provide quick and lasting relief but also have a high success rate, often preserving treated teeth for many years or even a lifetime.

By focusing on minimally invasive techniques, endodontic procedures target only the affected area, preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. This approach helps maintain the integrity of your teeth while addressing the underlying problem.

Advanced technology.

At Longton Dental Centre, we utilise cutting-edge technology and techniques to ensure precise and efficient treatment. Digital imaging, rotary instruments, and surgical microscopes allow us to perform procedures with exceptional accuracy, enhancing both the success rate and patient comfort.

We also offer sedation options to make your treatment experience as pleasant as possible. These options are particularly beneficial for patients who feel anxious or nervous about dental procedures.

Relieve dental pain and save your natural teeth

Endodontic treatment not only addresses immediate issues but also helps prevent potential complications in the future. By saving your natural teeth, you avoid the need for more extensive restorative procedures such as dental implants or bridges, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.
