The first step is to take a digital X-ray of your teeth in our Lansdale, PA - North Penn Dental Arts office . The next thing your dentist will do is to apply local anesthesia to the treatment area. Once you are numb, the doctor will begin to drill out the damaged tooth. Then we will clean out the infected area and smooth it out. Once the infected materials are removed, we will fill the tooth with medicated dental filling material. Finally, we will build a custom dental crown to protect the tooth from further damage.
