Root Canal Treatment
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that treats diseases of the dental pulp, the tissue containing the tooth's nerves and blood vessels. Teeth that become inflamed or infected due to advanced decay, cracks or trauma can be saved without extraction through root canal treatment.
Using advanced imaging and modern root canal techniques, we aim to preserve your natural tooth as much as possible, so your chewing function and your smile stay exactly as they are.
What We Do
- Root canal treatment for inflamed or infected teeth
- Re-treatment of failed root canals (re-endodontics)
- Treatment of root-tip (apical) infections
- Treatment of teeth damaged by trauma
- Filling and restoration after treatment
- Precise diagnosis with advanced imaging
Why It Matters
Root canal treatment is the most effective way to preserve your natural tooth. Unlike extraction, it keeps your own tooth in place, preventing problems such as neighboring teeth shifting, jawbone loss and an unbalanced bite.
An untreated dental infection can lead over time to pain, abscesses and inflammation that spreads to surrounding tissues. Early root canal treatment both saves the tooth and prevents more serious problems.
Treatment Process
Diagnosis & Imaging
The source of pain is identified through examination and X-rays, and treatment is planned by assessing the tooth's canal structure.
Cleaning the Canals
Under local anesthesia, the inflamed tissue is removed and the canals are shaped and disinfected with special instruments.
Canal Filling
The cleaned canals are sealed with a suitable filling material.
Restoring the Tooth
The treated tooth is restored with a filling or crown to increase its durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
Thanks to modern anesthesia, you feel no pain during the procedure. Since it usually eliminates existing pain, the treatment is actually a relief.
How many sessions does it take?
Depending on the tooth's condition and the degree of infection, most cases are completed in one or two sessions.
How long does a root-treated tooth last?
A properly restored and well-maintained tooth can be used healthily for many years after root canal treatment.
Is a crown necessary afterwards?
Especially for back teeth, a crown is often recommended to increase resistance to chewing forces and prevent fracture. Your dentist decides based on the tooth's condition.
