Same-Day Root Canal Treatment in Chicago & Skokie, IL

Root Canal Therapy helps get rid of pain and infection while saving the natural teeth

The Pulp Chamber

The pulp is a chamber in the center of your tooth that contains nerve tissues, blood vessels, and more. If the pulp of your tooth becomes infected, Dr.Hussain can restore it with a root canal. The procedure involves removing the infected tissues, cleaning the inside of your tooth, and sealing it.

Root canals eliminate harmful bacteria andsave your natural tooth from having to be removed. They also protect your tooth from future infections. Utilizing custom techniques, Dr.Hussain will ensure that your procedure is comfortable, efficient, and effective.

The Root Canal Procedure

01

Anesthetic

We numb the affected area completely so you feel no pain during the procedure.

02

Pulp Removal

A small opening is made in the tooth to access and remove the infected pulp tissue using specialized instruments.

03

Cleaning and Disinfection

The root canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate all bacteria.

04

Filling and Sealing

– The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.

05

Restoration

A dental crown is typically placed over the treated tooth to restore its full strength and function.

A root canal is a dental procedure that eliminates infection from inside a tooth, relieves pain, and saves your natural tooth from extraction. During root canal treatment at Vista Dental, our endodontic specialists carefully remove infected or inflamed pulp tissue from the tooth's interior, thoroughly clean and disinfect the root canals, then fill and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection. Root canal therapy has a success rate exceeding 95% and allows you to keep your natural tooth for years to come.

You may need root canal treatment if you experience severe toothache pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, darkening of the tooth, swelling or tenderness in nearby gums, or a persistent pimple on the gum. These symptoms indicate that the soft tissue (pulp) inside your tooth has become infected or damaged.
