What is Root Canal Treatment?
The mere mention of a root canal in Albany is enough to make most patients worry. With our highly experienced dentist Dr Nohra though, a root canal becomes a routine dental procedure.
Root canal treatment (also referred to as root canal therapy) in Albany, involves removing the damaged or infected pulp from the centre of a tooth. Once the pulp has been removed, the root canals are cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection and decay. Often the tooth is restored with a dental crown to improve its aesthetics and renew functionality.
FAQ’S
How do you cater for nervous patients?
A root canal is a minor surgical procedure regularly undertaken at our Albany clinic. However, please let us know during your consultation if you are a nervous patient, and we can arrange for IV sedation to help you relax and feel more comfortable during your treatment.
Are there any alternatives to a root canal?
If a tooth is too damaged for root canal treatment, our dentist may recommend tooth extraction and replacement with a dental implant or bridge.

Why Have Root Canal Treatment?
The main reason to undergo a root canal in Albany is to save a natural tooth and preserve the existing dentition. Here’s a brief guide to the root canal procedure.
Preparation
The affected tooth will be numbed with a local anaesthetic, and the dentist may isolate it from the rest of the teeth with a rubber dam or sheet.
Removal
Our Albany dentist will remove the diseased pulp and clean and disinfect the tooth's root canal system. Once cleaned, the canals are sealed to prevent further decay.
Restoration
Root canal treatment in Albany can weaken a tooth which is why a dental crown may be fitted at a later appointment to strengthen and improve its appearance.
