Root Canal Therapy
Whenever there is a cavity deeper than the hard portion (Enamel and Dentin) of the tooth, the internal soft portion of the tooth or ‘Pulp’ gets exposed thus making it infected and inflammed. This may or may not cause pain & swelling. But if untreated, the Pulp eventually dies & one may lose the tooth. To save the natural tooth, Root canal treatment is done. Root canal treatment is a procedure to relieve dental pain and save your teeth. Root Canal Therapy is a procedure wherein a dentist removes the infected pulp and restores it with a Filling material. In this way the infection is eliminated and the natural tooth is safe to remain in the mouth.. Contact us if you are looking to get your root canal treatment in Mumbai
Why Does a Dentist Recommend Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal therapy is necessary when the pulp (the soft tissue under your tooth) becomes inflamed or infected. This can be due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or a cracked or chipped tooth. If this is left unchecked, it can lead to severe pain or an abscess.
A root canal treatment not only saves your natural tooth but also allows you to keep your beautiful smile and eat your favorite foods. With proper care, most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last a lifetime!

What to Expect During a Root Canal Treatment
An endodontist who specializes in root canal treatment carefully extracts the pulp from the inside of the tooth, cleans, disinfects, and shapes the root canals, and seals the cavity with a filling. A tooth becomes brittle after the pulp is removed, so the Dentist may advise the patient to go for a crown/cap over the tooth. Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Antibiotic cover may be needed depending upon the infection. The entire procedure is painless & in most cases may be done in a single sitting. At our centre, we use the latest technology like apex locators & rotary instruments to get the perfect access to every canal & disinfect the canal efficiently
The Cost of Root Canal Treatment in Mumbai
The cost of having a root canal therapy usually varies on how complex the issue is and the tooth that has been affected. Molars are more difficult to treat and the fee to repair them may be more than the other teeth. Re treating an already failed root canal treated tooth may also increase the cost.
But a root canal treatment in Mumbai is generally less expensive than having your tooth extracted and implanted. At Designer Smiles, our endodontists and dentists work hand-in-hand to provide you with a wallet-friendly and comfortable experience!
Frequently Asked Questions
The majority of root canal treatments can be completed in one or two visits. The first appointment is for the treatment, which involves removing the infected pulp. The root canal is cleaned and filled with a crown or other filling to avoid infections at the second appointment. Each appointment is approximately 90 minutes long.
Following a root canal, make sure to follow all of your endodontist’s instructions, which usually involve avoiding hard or particularly chewy foods, brushing twice a day, and being extra careful around the area where the root canal was done.
If the infection in the tooth is not treated, it can spread to other areas of the body and, in some cases, be fatal. The infected pulp in your tooth must be removed at all costs. An untreated tooth will have to be extracted eventually and replaced with implant, denture or bridge.
