Root Canal Treatment Bellaire
Removing the Infection, Eliminating the Pain
An infected tooth often produces significant pain. Without appropriate imaging and evaluation, the problem can worsen, resulting in tooth extraction. Our team strives to avoid this situation by offering root canal treatment in Bellaire. Performed in-house by Dr. Estella, a root canal targets the infected pulp, removes it (and the pain), and allows the tooth to stay in place. We use enhanced diagnostic imaging to prepare and execute a patient’s treatment plan, so results are successful. Call our office to discuss your potential need for root canal treatment and how we can help.

What Happens During a Root Canal?
A root canal is recommended when the pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged as a result of facial trauma.
Dr. Estella will begin by administering local anesthesia to the patient so that their mouth becomes numb, and they will be unable to feel any pain throughout the procedure. A small opening is created in the crown of the tooth using precise dental instruments. These tools are then used to clean out the canals and pulp chamber, removing the infected pulp so that it no longer negatively affects the tooth.
She will sanitize the inner layers of the tooth before placing a biocompatible solution known as gutta-percha that will take the place of the pulp. After sealing the tooth, a customized dental crown will be applied after a few weeks to ensure greater protection against possible reinfection.
