Root Canal Procedure in Busselton

If you are dealing with severe tooth pain or infection, your dentist may recommend a root canal treatment.

While many people worry about the time and discomfort involved, modern dentistry ensures that the procedure is efficient, pain-free, and highly effective.

At Busselton Dental, we provide pain-free root canal treatments with expert care, so you don’t have to worry about discomfort or long recovery times. This guide will walk you through the treatment process and explain how long it typically takes.

What Is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal treatment is a procedure that removes infected pulp from the inside of a tooth, preventing further damage while preserving the natural tooth structure. It is necessary when a tooth’s pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures.

At Busselton Dental, we provide pain-free root canal treatments using advanced techniques and technology, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience.

How Long Does a Root Canal Treatment Take?

The duration of a root canal treatment depends on the severity of the infection and the tooth's condition. Generally, a root canal treatment usually takes 2 to 3 sessions, depending on the patient’s needs.

Breakdown of the Procedure

🔹 First Session:

  • Diagnosis, X-rays, and local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
  • Removal of the infected pulp and cleaning of the root canals.
  • A temporary filling may be placed to protect the tooth between visits.

🔹 Second Session (If Required):

  • Further cleaning and disinfection of the root canals.
  • Additional medication may be placed inside the tooth to eliminate any remaining bacteria.

🔹 Final Session:

  • The root canals are sealed permanently with a biocompatible material.
  • A dental crown may be recommended in some cases to restore strength and function.

Each session typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, but this can vary depending on the complexity of the case.
