Restorative dentistry is just one aspect of dental work that Dr. Christopher Lim and his team provide for patients in the Las Vegas area. He is a dentist who provides root canal therapy for patients who are at risk of losing a tooth. For many patients, root canal therapy is the only option prior to extraction. By maintaining the tooth in the smile with root canal therapy, patients can avoid the costs and problems associated with tooth replacement options such as dentures, bridges, and dental implants.

WHY CHOOSE ROOT CANAL THERAPY?

Root canal therapy is performed to remove the tissues from the inside of the tooth. It keeps the tooth structure in place by eliminating the source of pain and infection. Root canal therapy is safe, and the tooth is sealed up to prevent bacteria from entering the tooth structure.

THE PROCESS OF ROOT CANAL THERAPY

It all starts with numbing the patient and providing proper sedation for comfort. Dr. Christopher Lim creates a hole in the tooth to access the inner canals and remove the dental pulp with specialized instruments. The inner portion is disinfected before it is sealed and then covered with a dental crown.
