Tooth pain can be intense—but tooth loss doesn’t have to be the solution. At SIA Dental, our highly-trained team offers precise, comfortable, and effective root canal treatment that our Melbourne patients trust to relieve pain and preserve their natural teeth.

What is a Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure used to treat infections within a tooth’s pulp. It helps save the natural tooth while relieving pain and preventing further complications.

Key Steps in Root Canal Treatment
  • Removal of infected pulp to eliminate pain and stop the spread of infection
  • Thorough cleaning of canals to ensure bacteria are completely cleared
  • Sealing and crown placement to restore function and protect the tooth
This treatment helps preserve your natural smile and prevent the need for extraction, offering both health and cosmetic benefits.

The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

img_feature_root_canal

Save Your Natural Tooth

A root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than removing it. This helps preserve your bite, facial structure, and alignment while avoiding the need for replacements like bridges or implants.

Relieve Pain and Discomfort

Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain—not cause it. Once the infected nerve is removed and the canal is sealed, pain from the infection typically disappears quickly.

Prevent Future Dental Issues

By eliminating the infection at its source, root canal therapy prevents complications like abscesses, bone loss, and the spread of harmful bacteria to other parts of the mouth or body.

Step-by-step process​

The Root Canal Procedure at SIA Dental

When you visit our root canal specialist at SIA Dental, you can expect a precise, step-by-step approach focused on relieving pain and preserving your natural tooth. Here’s what the treatment typically involves:
1
Accessing the Tooth
We carefully open the tooth to reach the infected nerve tissue.
2
Cleaning the Canals
Using advanced instruments and disinfectants, we thoroughly clean the canals. Microscopic magnification ensures precision at every step.
3
Sealing the Tooth
Once cleaned, the canals are sealed with a specialised dental material to prevent reinfection.

Temporary Filling
A temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth during the healing phase.
Path

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does a Root Canal Take?
A root canal usually takes one to two visits depending on the complexity of the case. Molars with more canals may require additional time or appointments.
Thanks to modern local anaesthesia and techniques, root canal treatment feels similar to getting a standard filling. Most patients report immediate relief after the infection is removed—and many are surprised by how comfortable the experience is, especially when compared to the discomfort of living with an untreated infection. If you’re concerned about pain or the root canal price patients typically pay, we’re happy to walk you through what to expect in both comfort and cost during your consultation.
Common signs include: • Persistent toothache • Sensitivity to hot or cold • Swelling in the gums or face • Discolouration of a tooth • A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums Only a dental exam and X-ray can confirm if a root canal specialist is needed.
Following the procedure, you may feel mild sensitivity for a few days. Once the tooth is restored with a crown, it functions like a natural tooth. Regular check-ups and good hygiene are essential to avoid reinfection.

Root Canal Aftercare & Maintenance

After your root canal procedure, mild soreness is normal as your body heals. A crown is typically recommended to prevent future fractures. With proper care, a treated tooth can last for many years.
Here’s how to care for your tooth at home:
  • Avoid chewing on the treated side until your crown is placed
  • Use over-the-counter pain relief if necessary
  • Maintain daily brushing and flossing
  • Attend your follow-up visit to ensure proper healing
  • If your temporary filling dislodges, contact us promptly
