Root canal treatment & crown

Root canal treatment followed by crown placement is a comprehensive dental procedure designed to salvage a severely damaged or infected tooth. The process typically begins with root canal therapy, during which the infected or inflamed pulp inside the tooth is removed, and the root canals are meticulously cleaned, shaped, and disinfected. Once the root canal treatment is completed, the tooth is often weakened and susceptible to fracture. To restore its strength and prevent further damage, a crown is placed over the tooth. The crown acts as a protective cap, encasing the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, providing stability, durability, and a natural appearance. This combined approach not only alleviates pain and infection but also ensures the long-term functionality and aesthetics of the treated tooth, enabling patients to maintain their oral health and quality of life.
