Chatham Endodontics, located at 185 Grand Ave W, Chatham, ON N7L 1C2, Canada, is a dedicated endodontic practice. Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the
Dental Pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and the tissues surrounding the tooth root. The primary service offered by endodontists, including Chatham Endodontics, is
Root Canal treatment.
Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to various reasons such as deep decay, repeated dental procedures, faulty
crowns, or trauma to the tooth. If left untreated, such conditions can cause severe pain or lead to an abscess. During a root canal procedure, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and then filled and sealed with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. Following this, the tooth is typically restored with a filling or a crown to protect it and restore its function.
Endodontists like those at Chatham Endodontics undergo additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, allowing them to perform complex root canal procedures with precision and efficiency. They often utilize advanced technologies such as operating microscopes, digital imaging, and ultrasonics to ensure accurate diagnosis and comfortable treatment for their patients. The goal of Chatham Endodontics is to alleviate patient pain, save natural teeth, and help maintain
Oral Health, often working in collaboration with referring general dentists. The name "Chatham Endodontics" itself, along with descriptions found in online searches referring to "expert team" and "dedicated exclusively to endodontic care," strongly indicates it operates as a specialized
Dental Clinic rather than an individual general dental practice.
