Root Canal Treatment

When you might need this

• Persistent or severe tooth pain, especially when chewing
• Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Visible swelling or a pimple-like bump on the gum
• Deep cavity or trauma that has exposed the tooth pulp
• A darkening or discolored tooth following injury

What the procedure involves

1. Detailed examination with digital X-rays to confirm diagnosis
2. Local anesthesia to ensure the area is fully numb
3. Isolation of the tooth with a rubber dam for sterility
4. Microscope-assisted access to the root canal system
5. Cleaning and shaping of canals with rotary instruments and laser disinfection
6. Three-dimensional filling of the canals using thermoplasticized obturation
7. Restoration of the tooth with a filling — and a crown in most cases

How long it takes

Typically completed in 1–2 sittings of 45–90 minutes each. Complex molars or retreatments may need additional time.

Pain expectation

With modern anesthesia, the procedure itself is largely painless. Mild soreness or tenderness for 1–2 days afterwards is normal and managed with simple painkillers.

Technology used

• Dental operating microscope for magnified precision
• Endodontic rotary motor for efficient canal shaping
• Dental laser for canal disinfection
• Thermoplasticized obturation system for 3D canal sealing
• Digital radiography (RVG) for low-radiation imaging

Recovery & aftercare

Most patients return to normal activity the same day. Avoid chewing on the treated side until the permanent restoration is placed. We will guide you through aftercare in detail.
