Expert Root Canal Care Using Modern Tools & Comfort Techniques

What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a gentle dental procedure that helps save a tooth that’s badly decayed or infected. Instead of taking the tooth out, your dentist removes the infected pulp (the soft part inside the tooth), cleans the area carefully, and seals it to stop future problems. At Omega Dental & Cosmetics, we use advanced tools and gentle techniques to make the treatment ...
... easy and comfortable—so you can keep your natural tooth and smile with confidence.

How Root Canal Therapy Saves Your Natural Tooth
When a tooth gets infected deep inside, the pulp (which has nerves and blood vessels) causes pain and swelling. Root canal therapy removes this pulp to stop the infection and pain. After cleaning and sealing the tooth, we add a crown to make it strong again. This helps the tooth work just like before—no extraction needed.

What Happens Inside an Infected Tooth?
When decay reaches the pulp, bacteria grow and cause pain, abscesses, and even bone loss. You may feel toothache, swelling, or sensitivity. Root canal treatment removes the infection before it spreads or causes serious damage.

Root Canal vs Tooth Extraction – Which Is Better?
Most of the time, saving your natural tooth is better. Root canal therapy keeps your bite, helps you chew properly, and protects your jawbone. Tooth extraction may seem faster, but it often leads to more treatments later. At Omega Dental, we try to save your tooth first—because it’s better for your health and your smile.

Do You Need Root Canal Therapy? Signs and Causes to Know
If you’re experiencing lingering tooth pain or sensitivity, your tooth may be trying to tell you something. Root canal therapy is often needed when the inner pulp of the tooth becomes infected or damaged. Spotting the signs early and understanding the causes can help you avoid tooth loss and ongoing pain.

Common Symptoms
Watch out for these telltale signs that may mean you need a root canal:

Severe toothache that doesn’t go away
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the source is gone
Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums around one tooth
Darkening or discolouration of the tooth
Pimple-like bump on the gum (possible abscess)
If you have one or more of these symptoms, it’s time to book an assessment.

Causes of Tooth Pulp Infection
Several issues can lead to infection deep inside your tooth, including:

Deep decay that reaches the tooth pulp
Dental trauma from accidents or sports injuries
Cracks or chips in the tooth, even if small
Repeated dental work on the same tooth
Our team at Omega Dental & Cosmetics will assess the problem and recommend the best treatment to save your smile.

What Happens If You Delay or Avoid Root Canal Treatment?
If you ignore an infected tooth, it won’t get better on its own—it will only get worse. The infection can spread deeper, causing strong pain, swelling, gum abscesses, and even bone loss. Without root canal treatment, the tooth can die and may need extraction. In serious cases, the bacteria can spread to other teeth or even into your blood, affecting your overall health.

Getting root canal therapy early saves your natural tooth and helps avoid bigger health problems later. At Omega Dental & Cosmetics, we make the process gentle, simple, and pain-free. Don’t wait until the damage is too big to fix.

Benefits of Getting a Root Canal
Root canal therapy does more than just stop tooth pain—it protects your long-term dental health. Here’s how treatment at Omega Dental & Cosmetics can help restore your comfort, confidence, and smile:

Relieves Pain and Infection
Root canals remove the source of intense pain and infection inside your tooth. Once treated, most patients feel immediate relief and can return to daily life without discomfort.

Saves Your Natural Tooth
Instead of extracting the tooth, root canal therapy keeps your natural tooth intact. With proper care, your restored tooth can last a lifetime—no need for gaps or replacements.

Prevents Tooth Loss and Jawbone Issues
Losing a tooth can lead to shifting teeth, bite problems, and jawbone shrinkage over time. A root canal treatment helps you avoid these complications and preserves your natural facial structure.

Restores Normal Chewing and Function
After your tooth is restored with a crown, you’ll be able to chew, speak, and smile just like before—without worry, pain, or restriction.

How Much Does a Root Canal Cost in Australia?
Root canal treatment in Australia typically costs between $1,400 and $2,000, depending on the complexity of the case and which tooth is being treated (front, premolar, or molar). Molars are more complex and may cost more due to extra canals and longer treatment time.

What Affects the Cost?
Several factors influence the final cost of your root canal:

Tooth location (molars often cost more)
Severity of infection or number of canals treated
Need for X-rays, sedation, or emergency care
Final restoration, such as a crown, which is usually billed separately
