Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment Mount Waverley

Save your natural tooth and relieve pain with Pinewood Dental Group’s expert root canal therapy. We use gentle, effective techniques to treat infected teeth and restore oral health.

Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal therapy is the preferred alternative to tooth extraction when infection reaches the tooth pulp. It helps save your natural tooth, avoiding the need for replacements like implants or bridges, while eliminating pain and infection.

How Does It Work?

Our dentists numb the affected tooth with anaesthetic to ensure a pain-free experience. Then, infected pulp is carefully removed, the root canals cleaned and disinfected, and the space filled with inert material. A temporary filling is placed until a crown restores the tooth’s strength and function

What to expect
  • Local anaesthetic to ensure comfort
  • Removal of infected pulp and cleaning of root canals

  • Follow-up care advice for a healthy recovery
Who Is It Suitable For?
