Root Canal Treatment

Relieve Pain. Restore Your Tooth. Renew Your Smile.

At Arora Dental Clinic Implant & Orthodontic Centre, we understand that tooth pain can be unbearable. What begins as a minor sensitivity can quickly become a constant ache that affects your sleep, eating habits, and overall quality of life. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers an effective, pain-free solution — Root Canal Treatment (RCT).

Led by Dr. Sandeep Arora (Diplomate, Academy of Oral Implantology; PG Orthodontics, New York University) and Dr. Shalini Arora (MDS Orthodontics; Invisalign Provider), our clinic has over 23 years of experience providing advanced dental care and endodontic treatments across Chandigarh, Panchkula, and Morinda.

Our goal is to save your natural tooth, relieve pain, and restore your oral health using the most advanced technology and gentle techniques available.

What Is a Root Canal Treatment?

A Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a specialized dental procedure that treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth — specifically, in the pulp, the soft tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels.

When bacteria reach the pulp due to decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain, swelling, and sensitivity. If left untreated, it may lead to abscess formation or even tooth loss.

The root canal procedure involves:

1. Removing the infected pulp
2. Cleaning and disinfecting the root canals
3. Filling them with a biocompatible material
4. Sealing the tooth with a protective filling or crown

This allows you to keep your natural tooth while eliminating pain and infection.

Why You Might Need a Root Canal

You may require a root canal if you experience:

• Persistent toothache or pain while chewing
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Swelling in the gums or face
• Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
• A small bump or pimple on the gums
• Deep decay or a large cavity
• Cracked or chipped teeth exposing the pulp

At Arora Dental Clinic, we use digital X-rays and 3D imaging to confirm the diagnosis before recommending RCT. Our experts ensure that only teeth that truly require root canal therapy are treated — preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Many people fear the term “root canal,” but with modern technology, the procedure is virtually painless and highly effective. Here are some major benefits:

1. Pain Relief

RCT eliminates the infection and removes the nerve tissue causing pain, offering instant relief.

2. Tooth Preservation

Instead of extracting the tooth, root canal therapy saves your natural tooth, maintaining your bite alignment and oral function.

3. Aesthetic Restoration

Once restored with a crown, the treated tooth looks and functions like a natural tooth.

4. Prevents Spread of Infection

Cleaning out the infected tissue stops the bacteria from spreading to other teeth or jawbone.

5. Cost-Effective and Long-Lasting

Compared to tooth extraction and implant replacement, RCT is a more affordable and long-term solution.

Root Canal Treatment Process at Arora Dental Clinic

At Arora Dental Clinic, we ensure your root canal experience is comfortable, efficient, and precise. Here’s how the process works:

Step 1: Diagnosis and Digital Imaging

We begin with a thorough dental examination using digital X-rays and 3D CBCT imaging to assess the extent of infection. This helps us plan your treatment with precision.

Step 2: Local Anesthesia and Isolation

To ensure a completely pain-free experience, the area around the affected tooth is numbed using local anesthesia.
We then isolate the tooth with a rubber dam to keep it dry and free from saliva during the procedure.

Step 3: Access Opening

A small opening is made on the surface of the tooth to access the infected pulp chamber and root canals.

Step 4: Cleaning and Shaping

Using rotary endodontic instruments and ultrasonic irrigation systems, we remove the infected tissue and shape the canals for filling.
Our advanced equipment ensures thorough cleaning, reducing the chance of reinfection.

Step 5: Filling and Sealing

Once cleaned, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material (usually Gutta-percha) and sealed with dental cement to prevent bacterial re-entry.

Step 6: Final Restoration

After the RCT, the tooth structure is often weakened, so we recommend placing a dental crown to protect and strengthen it.
At Arora Dental Clinic, we offer same-day CAD/CAM crowns for convenience and durability.

Advanced Technology for Painless Root Canals

Our clinic is equipped with the latest endodontic technology to ensure precision and comfort:

• Digital X-Rays & CBCT – for accurate 3D imaging of root canal anatomy
• Rotary Endodontics – for faster, cleaner, and more efficient treatment
• Apex Locators – for precise measurement of root canal length
• Ultrasonic Irrigation Systems – for thorough disinfection
• Laser-Assisted Root Canal Therapy – for enhanced sterilization and healing

Thanks to these advancements, your RCT can often be completed in a single sitting with minimal discomfort.

Single-Sitting Root Canal Treatment

At Arora Dental Clinic, we specialize in single-sitting root canal treatments, perfect for busy individuals.

With the use of rotary instruments, advanced imaging, and laser technology, we can complete the procedure in just one visit — without compromising on safety or precision.

This technique is ideal for:

• Teeth with early-stage infection
• Patients with limited time
• Cases where there’s no severe swelling or abscess

Single-sitting RCTs are not only convenient but also reduce postoperative discomfort and the risk of reinfection.

Aftercare and Recovery

After a root canal, your tooth and surrounding area may feel slightly tender for a few days. This is normal and can be managed with mild pain relievers.

Post-Treatment Care Tips:

• Avoid chewing on the treated side for 24 hours.
• Take prescribed medications as directed.
• Maintain good oral hygiene — brush and floss regularly.
• Avoid very hard or sticky foods.
• Visit us for your crown placement within 1–2 weeks.

Once your crown is placed, your tooth will function just like before.
