Root Canals

What to expect

Root canal treatment is aimed at saving a tooth that has been deeply damaged, usually due to advanced decay or infection. During treatment, the root canals are cleaned and the damaged tissue is removed, and the tooth is then sealed to prevent reinfection. The treatment makes it possible to preserve the natural tooth and restore its function, instead of extracting it.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

The treatment suits patients with pain of dental origin, prolonged sensitivity, swelling, or infection in a tooth. Sometimes the need for treatment is diagnosed even without pain, as part of a routine exam. Suitability is determined after a professional exam and sometimes also imaging.

What the treatment process looks like

Treatment begins with a thorough diagnosis of the tooth's condition and the extent of the damage. Based on the findings, a precise treatment plan is determined. During treatment, the tooth is opened and the root canals are cleaned using specialized tools, with the use of advanced magnification aids. In complex cases, treatment is performed using a dental microscope, which allows precise visualization of the canal structure and access to areas not visible to the naked eye. After thorough cleaning, the canals are sealed with a suitable material to prevent reinfection. In many cases, further restoration of the tooth is then needed, such as a core buildup and crown, to maintain its strength over time.
