What Happens During a Root Canal?
Dr. Heinsheimer will numb your tooth with local anesthesia and isolate it with a latex covering. He’ll access the inner layers using specialized instruments and clean out the infected tissues and pulp. Once he removes the pulp, he will sanitize the area and fill it with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. This maintains the structural integrity of your tooth. The final steps are to seal the opening and place a customized dental crown over the top. The restoration will protect your tooth as it heals, allowing you to eat normally and remain confident in the health of your smile.
