Root Canal Treatment in Oakleigh
If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity, you may need a root canal treatment to save your natural tooth. At Dental Capital SE in Oakleigh, our experienced and gentle dental team provides precise, pain-relieving root canal therapy using advanced technology and techniques to ensure your comfort every step of the way.
A root canal treatment removes infection from inside the tooth while preserving its structure and strength. This procedure helps prevent extraction, restoring both function and appearance.
At Dental Capital SE, we use dental microscopes for enhanced visibility and accuracy, ensuring the highest quality care. Our focus is on patient comfort — most treatments feel similar to getting a routine filling thanks to modern anaesthetics and equipment.
When you may need a root canal
Constant or severe toothache
Pain when biting or chewing
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Darkening or discolouration of the tooth
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a dentist promptly. Treating infection early can save the tooth and avoid further complications.
What to expect during root canal treatment
Diagnosis and X-rays: We identify the source of infection or inflammation inside the tooth.
Cleaning and disinfecting: The infected tissue is carefully removed using precision instruments under magnification.
Filling and sealing: The cleaned root canal is sealed to prevent reinfection.
Final restoration: In most cases, a crown is recommended to strengthen and protect the treated tooth.
Our goal is to make your visit calm, comfortable, and effective — restoring your tooth’s health and helping you smile confidently again.
