Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) is a painless procedure performed to save a tooth when the dental pulp (nerve and vascular tissue) becomes infected due to advanced decay, fracture, or trauma. Our clinic achieves high success rates using modern rotary instrument systems and digital radiography.
Why is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?
The pulp located in the innermost layer of the tooth contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When this tissue becomes infected due to deep decay, fracture, or injury, it causes severe pain, swelling, and abscess formation. Without root canal treatment, the tooth may need to be extracted.
How is the Treatment Performed?
- Anaesthesia — Strong local anaesthesia ensures a completely pain-free environment
- Pulp Removal — Infected tissue is cleaned with rotary instruments
- Canal Shaping — Canals are shaped to the desired width and taper
- Irrigation — Disinfection with antiseptic solutions
- Filling — Hermetic sealing with biocompatible gutta-percha material
- Restoration — Filling or crown as the final restoration
Is Single-Session Root Canal Possible?
Yes. Single-session root canal treatment is routinely performed at our clinic. This is particularly convenient for our international patients. Complex cases may require 2 sessions.
After Treatment
- Mild sensitivity after treatment resolves within 2–3 days
- A crown is strongly recommended for root canal-treated teeth
- With regular check-ups, the tooth can remain healthy for many years
