Root Canal Treatment in Santa Monica

Root canal treatment, often known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure aimed at treating infection at the centre of a tooth. At Smile Perfect, we understand that the thought of a root canal can be daunting, but our expert team is here to ensure you receive the highest standard of care in a comfortable and reassuring environment.

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. During the procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth can become infected, leading to abscesses.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
Discolouration of the tooth
Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
Persistent or recurring pimples on the gums

    At Smile Perfect, our skilled dentists use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to ensure your root canal treatment is as painless and efficient as possible.
