Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a vital dental procedure aimed at saving teeth that are severely decayed or infected. At Ace Dental Studio in Southport, Gold Coast, we specialise in pain-free root canal treatments, utilising state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
Root canal therapy involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the inner chambers, and then filling and sealing the tooth. Our experienced dental professionals are skilled in performing this procedure with precision and care, focusing on patient comfort. We use local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience and take every measure to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.
