Precise root canal treatment
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on root canal treatments, essential for saving teeth affected by deep cavities or infections. In our clinic, these treatments are performed using a dental microscope, allowing a level of precision impossible to achieve with the naked eye. Through modern technology and the experience of our doctors, endodontic treatments become more comfortable, effective, and long-lasting, giving you the chance to keep your natural smile healthy for as long as possible.
Root canal treatment is necessary when the dental pulp (the tooth nerve) becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have several causes:
If the inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can lead to pain or a dental abscess. The pain can sometimes be extremely severe, and dental infections can affect the entire body. That’s why it’s essential to treat dental lesions early.
Root canal treatment involves removing the dental pulp, cleaning, enlarging, sterilizing, and filling the root canals with special materials.
It is essential to use a rubber dam isolation system to keep the tooth clean and prevent contamination with saliva.
During the procedure, multiple X-rays and anesthetics may be needed, and the difficulty of the case may require more sessions than initially planned.
