Root Canal Treatment
Gentle treatment to save an inflamed or infected tooth and preserve your natural smile.
The goal is to preserve your natural tooth
During root canal treatment, inflamed or infected tissue is carefully removed from inside the tooth, and the canals are cleaned and sealed to preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
"The goal of root canal treatment is to cleanse the interior of an inflamed or infected tooth to preserve the natural tooth whenever possible and eliminate the underlying source of discomfort."
What problems can root canal treatment solve?
Throbbing toothache that worsens at night, extreme sensitivity to hot and cold, or swelling around the tooth are common signs of pulp inflammation. Inflammation or bacterial infection inside the tooth cannot heal on its own and may spread to surrounding bone tissues if left untreated. Timely treatment stops the infection, relieves pain, and saves the natural tooth.
Our Solution
During root canal treatment under local anesthesia, we open access to the tooth's interior, remove the inflamed or infected tissues, and thoroughly clean and shape the root canals using modern mechanical instruments and precise length measurement. We then seal the canals hermetically. The appropriate final restoration is determined based on the tooth's remaining structure.
Book AppointmentWhen might root canal treatment be needed?
Root canal treatment may become necessary when the dental pulp inside the tooth can no longer recover due to deep inflammation or bacterial infection.
- In case of severe or persistent toothache
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Deep tooth decay reaching the pulp chamber
- Inflammation or infection affecting the tooth interior
- After trauma or significant loss of tooth structure when indicated
The first step is always the examination
Without a precise assessment of the tooth's condition and the root cause of your symptoms, it cannot be determined whether root canal treatment is genuinely necessary. A personal examination may be complemented by imaging diagnostics when required.
What is the exact course of treatment?
Step by step
Anesthesia & preparation
We begin treatment under local anesthesia, then create precise access to the root canals inside the tooth.
Cleaning the root canals
Inflamed or infected tissues are removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and shaped.
Root filling
The cleaned root canals are sealed hermetically to minimize the risk of re-infection.
Tooth restoration
Following treatment, the tooth receives an appropriate final restoration, such as a filling, inlay/onlay, or crown.
