Root Canal Treatment at Akoya Dental
At Akoya Dental, we prioritize your comfort and oral health with advanced, compassionate care. Root canal treatment (RCT) is one of the most effective ways to save a damaged or infected tooth and restore it to full functionality. Our skilled team of dentists is committed to providing a painless and stress-free experience, ensuring that you leave with a healthier, more vibrant smile.
What is a Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure aimed at treating the inside of a tooth when it becomes infected or severely decayed. The infection typically affects the pulp—the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. If left untreated, this infection can lead to severe pain, swelling, and even tooth loss.
During a root canal procedure, the dentist will remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the tooth, and then fill and seal it to prevent further infection. In many cases, a crown may be placed on the tooth to restore its strength and appearance.

The Root Canal Process at Akoya Dental
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our dentist will examine your tooth and may take an X-ray to assess the extent of the damage or infection. If a root canal is recommended, we’ll discuss the procedure in detail.
- Treatment: On the day of the procedure, your dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth. They will then access the pulp chamber, remove the infected tissue, clean the area thoroughly, and fill it with a special material to seal the space.
- Restoration: After the root canal, we may recommend a dental crown to restore the tooth’s strength and protect it from future damage. The crown is custom-made to match the shape and color of your natural teeth.
- Follow-Up Care: We will schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the tooth is healing properly and that you are experiencing minimal discomfort.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
- Pain Relief: Root canal treatment alleviates the severe pain caused by infected or damaged pulp.
- Preservation of Natural Tooth: Instead of extracting a compromised tooth, RCT allows you to keep your natural tooth intact, maintaining your smile and bite.
- Prevent Infection Spread: The treatment helps to prevent the infection from spreading to nearby teeth or gums.
- Long-Term Solution: With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.
