Root Canal Treatment
Inside every tooth there is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains the nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes inflamed or damaged, root canal treatment aims to save the tooth without extracting it. By saving your tooth, which has been damaged by advanced decay or injury, from extraction, we keep it in your mouth with confidence.
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment is the procedure in which the inflamed or damaged nerve tissue inside the tooth is cleaned out, and the canals are shaped and filled with special materials.
In this way your natural tooth stays in the mouth and continues to perform its chewing function with confidence.
How does the process go?
Root canal treatment, step by step
Anaesthetic and cleaning
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic and the diseased tissue inside the tooth is carefully cleaned.
Determining the canal length
The length of the root canals is measured, then they are shaped with special instruments and disinfected.
Filling the canals
The cleaned canals are securely filled with leak-proof filling materials.
Final restoration
Depending on the condition of the tooth, the treatment is completed by placing a filling or a crown.
Frequently asked questions
Is there pain during root canal treatment?
Thanks to local anaesthetic, no pain is felt during the procedure.
How many sessions does the treatment take?
Depending on the case, it is generally completed within one or two sessions.
Wouldn't it be easier to have the tooth pulled?
Extraction is sometimes the only option. But if saving your own tooth is possible, this is often the path discussed first. You will have both options assessed at the examination, based on the condition of your tooth.
