What are Root Canal Fillings?
Root canal treatment is a procedure that treats infected, dead or damaged tissue within the root canal of the tooth. The damaged part of the tooth is removed and replaced with a filling material. The procedure helps to restore and maintain the best dental health, relieving pain and protecting your other teeth from further damage. Our dentists use the latest technology to ensure a safe, comfortable experience with your root canal treatment.
Our certified professionals provide the highest quality root canal fillings to ensure lasting results. Our goal is to help you improve your oral health and make sure that your smile stays healthy and beautiful.

What Happens During Your Appointment
At Serpentine Green Dental, we make your root canal filling appointment as comfortable and efficient as possible. Your dentist will first inspect the affected area of your mouth and determine if a root canal filling is necessary. If it is, then an X-ray will be taken to identify the exact shape of your tooth’s root canals so that they can be filled completely and accurately.
An anaesthetic is used in the area before the dentist begins to clean out your infected tooth and fill in any cracks or spaces with a filling material. A protective sealant will be put over top to ensure no other bacteria can get in and no further damage occurs. The entire process typically takes about 1-2 hours for a single root canal filling so that you can quickly return to feeling good without having to endure too much downtime.
The Benefits Of Getting Root Canal Fillings
