What is a root canal procedure?

Root canal procedures, or endodontics, is a treatment for the inner pulp of the tooth. They are performed to save teeth from extraction. The dentist or endodontist, a root canal specialist, cleans out the decayed or damaged pulp without breaking the exterior of the tooth root. The cleaned root canal is filled with a bio-compatible rubber-like material called gutta-percha. They are also performed for patients with damaged teeth caused by accidents or fractures. The procedure takes one to two hours to complete.

What are the types of root canal procedures?

Primary root canal treatments are performed using stainless steel files. Stainless steel files could remove only a small amount of infection and could easily break. The more advanced and flexible nickel titanium files do not break easily and are able to clean the entire infected area easily. Rotary instruments used to clean the root canal are quicker than manual instruments. Other advanced root canal procedures make use of ultrasound or laser to effectively clean the root canal.

Is a root canal procedure painful?

Root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthetic. Patients will not feel pain during the procedure.

What is the recovery time after having a root canal procedures?

Patients take about three days to recover after a root canal procedure. Some patients require a week to recover from a root canal procedure.

When can I travel by air after a root canal procedure?

It is safe to travel by air one day after a root canal procedure. Patients should check with their dentist before embarking on their journey. If they feel pain or discomfort, they should postpone their journey until it abates.

What care is required after a root canal procedure?

Patients should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should not eat until the anaesthetic wears off. They should not eat or drink very hot or very cold food for at least a week. They should avoid eating hard food or sticky food. If swelling occurs they should sleep with their head raised for a few days to bring it down.

What are the alternatives to root canal procedures?

Alternatives to root canal procedures include extractions and pulp capping procedures.

Root Canal Treatment NZ$750 - NZ$1700

Root canal treatment is used to save teeth that would otherwise need to be removed. The dental pulp (nerve and blood supply in the centre of the tooth and root canal) can become infected due to decay, cracks in the tooth or injury. Root canal treatment is the process of cleaning the root canals of all infection and sealing them so they can’t become infected again. Historically, root canal treatment has had a bad reputation, and everyone’s heard horror stories about them. Modern root canal treatments using advanced equipment and state of the art techniques are predictable and generally pain free. The tooth to be treated is completely numbed and then isolated using a sheet of latex called a rubber dam. This helps us to sterilise inside the tooth and enables the patient to remain relaxed during the entire procedure. Electronic devices allow us to accurately measure the length of the tooth, minimising the number of X-Rays required during treatment. At Symonds Street Dental Centre, we’re passionate about saving teeth and regularly attend training courses to keep up to date with the best techniques. If you have a Tooth Ache or think you may need a root canal filling, call us now on 09 379 7380.

Crowns from NZ$1750

Crowns or caps are used when a decayed or cracked tooth cannot be saved with a filling. We use the best materials which enable us to keep as much natural tooth structure as possible whilst giving a beautiful natural appearance. A lot of older crowns on front teeth can look dull and lifeless. We create modern full ceramic crowns which let light travel through the tooth and look natural.There are lots of options too! – we can use gold which is very popular and is best suited to the back of the mouth where biting forces are highest and it’s not visible in the smile. Come and talk to us and we can help you choose the most appropriate option. We use highly skilled technicians based right here in Auckland to make all our crowns and never outsource to foreign countries.

New Patient Examination from NZ$140

For a New Patient Examination, we book you a 45-minute appointment with one of our dentists, so that they have time to fully assess your oral health, record the current condition of your teeth and gums and discuss any treatment that may be required. As part of this service, we will provide a detailed written treatment plan with associated costs. If you have lots of fillings or crowns, gum disease or wisdom teeth, it might be a good idea to take a Panoramic x-ray scan. This type of x-ray provides us with an excellent overview of both jaws and costs an additional $110 if required.

Fillings NZ$300 - NZ$450

Not all fillings are created equal. Gone are the days of unsightly dark silver fillings. We use the highest quality white filling materials and most up to date techniques to provide beautiful long lasting fillings. Modern white filling materials mimic natural tooth structure, don’t contain dangerous mercury and are set instantly with intense LED blue lights so are ready to be eaten on as soon as you leave the dental practice. If you have old silver fillings you’d like replaced or think you may have a dental cavity, call 09 379 7380.
