Using modern techniques, we carefully remove infection, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to restore strength and comfort. At Stella Dental Suite, our calm environment and expert team make what was once seen as a daunting treatment straightforward and reassuring.

After treatment, we provide full aftercare advice and may schedule a follow-up appointment. Good oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups help ensure your results last long-term.
