Gently Painless Dental Care | Dr Kamal Raj Dentist

Root Canal Therapy Bentleigh East

If your tooth has become infected, it may be possible to save it with root canal treatment. Using the most up to date and modern processes, Dr Kamal Raj has been providing painless root canal treatment to patients for over 30 years.

What is a root canal?
If the pulp or nerve of your tooth has become infected, it is only possible through root canal treatment to clean and remove this infection. Doing this will avoid (further) pain, infections and abscesses. If left unchecked, the infection from inside your tooth can spill into the surrounding jaw bone and eat away at the bone. This can sometimes lead to permanent bone loss and loss of teeth.

Depending on the type of tooth (incisor, premolar or molar) and the number and complexity of the actual canals, the cost will be $1200 to $1800. Once Root canal treatment is completed, it is recommended that a porcelain crown be made to protect the tooth from further damage.

Of course this is always an option. It must also be weighed against living with the missing tooth and replacing the tooth. Sometimes saving the tooth is better than having it removed. Alternatively, if the tooth is heavily damaged you sometimes have no choice but to have it removed.

If done well and along with a Dental Crown that seals the tooth it should last many decades. However, a root canal tooth is more prone to fracturing than a normal tooth and care must be taken.

When I moved from Sydney to Melbourne two years ago, I had to find myself a new dentist. A friend recommended Dr Kamal Raj at Verve Dental. The recommendation was spot on. Dr Raj and his team could not be more friendly and professional. They even see you at the actual time of your appointment, which I find especially helpful and respectful. Their fees are very reasonable too.

2020 has not been kind to many people and finding out I was going to lose a front tooth was not news I wanted to hear. I am so thankful that I sort treatment from Dr Raj and Verve Dental. From the first day I stepped into the building to the day I walked out with my completed Implant every single employee at Verve made me feel comfortable and confident that I had nothing to worry about. Dr Raj explained everything in a way I could understand, and even went out of his way to explain things that interested me about the process. His very specialised torque wrench is measured in Newton Centimetres. My Implant looks exactly like the adjacent tooth, and if I didn’t point it out, I’d be surprised if you could tell that it wasn’t a real tooth. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Raj to anyone needing Dental work done.

Dr Raj has transformed my dental experience. He quickly identified that I needed to sit more upright to assist my breathing during dental treatment. This has made such a major difference for me - I'm no longer scared to go to the dentist. After years of bad expereiinces. I am so grateful his gentle and caring attitude allowed him to listen and find what worked for me.

I am normally afraid of dentists. I would avoid them like the Ebola however circumstances forced me to visit one. I choose Dr Raj. I couldn't be any happier with his service. He is gentle, caring and takes the time to explain things and make you feel comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Please give him and his team a chance.

I recently completed my Invisalign journey with Dr Raj at Verve Dental, after being recommended from my partner and his family. The whole team at Verve made my experience extremely easy, stress free and comfortable. I am over the moon with my results from the treatment, which is it a testament to the advice, direction and special care given to me. I highly recommended Verve Dental to anyone who needs a gentle dentist who will look after them, from first phone call to the end of treatment. Thank you so much to Glennis, Karyn and Dr Raj for looking after me with such care. I will be continuing to see them for regular check ups.
