What is Endodontics?
Welcome to Armour DentalCare, where we specialize in providing top-quality Endodontics Dentistry services in Chennai, Velachery. Our esteemed dentist, Dr. Vinci, M.D.S., with 18 years of experience in Pediatric Dentistry, leads our team in delivering exceptional care in the field of Endodontics.
Endodontics is a recognized dental specialty that specifically deals with the diagnosis and treatment of dental pulp (nerve) and root canal-related problems. In the past, teeth with pulpal damage would often be extracted. However, with advancements in dental technology and techniques, root canal therapy has become a highly effective and conservative treatment option to save at-risk teeth.
At Armour DentalCare, we understand the importance of preserving natural teeth. Our experienced team of professionals is dedicated to providing precise and compassionate Endodontic care to relieve pain, treat infections, and restore oral health.
When the dental pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe toothache and even lead to abscess formation. In such cases, a root canal treatment can be performed to remove the infected pulp, clean the root canals, and seal them to prevent further infection.
During a root canal procedure, Dr. Vinci employs advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure optimal treatment outcomes. The process involves accessing the tooth's pulp chamber, carefully removing the infected or damaged pulp, and disinfecting the canals. The canals are then filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent re-infection.
Root canal therapy not only eliminates pain and infection but also allows the tooth to be saved and restored to its natural function. Following a successful root canal treatment, a dental crown or filling may be placed to strengthen and protect the tooth, ensuring its longevity.
At Armour DentalCare, patient comfort and well-being are our top priorities. We understand that Endodontic procedures can cause anxiety for some patients. Therefore, we provide a soothing and relaxed environment, along with compassionate care, to ensure a positive dental experience.
Dr. Vinci's extensive experience in Pediatric Dentistry adds an extra level of gentleness and patience to our Endodontic treatments. She takes the time to explain each step of the procedure, addressing any concerns and ensuring that patients feel at ease throughout the process.
