Root canal therapy involves removing the infected or damaged pulp tissue from the inside of the tooth, followed by cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the root canal.

• Removing Infected Tissue: When the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or damaged due to deep decay, trauma, or other causes, it must be removed to prevent the spread of infection.
• Cleaning and Disinfecting: Once the pulp is removed, the root canal is meticulously cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any residual bacteria and prevent future infections.
• Sealing the Canal: The cleaned canal is filled and sealed with a special material to ensure that no new infections occur. Finally, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling to return it to its original shape and function.

• Pain Relief: One of the primary benefits of root canal therapy is pain relief from the pain caused by pulp infection or damage.
• Saving the Natural Tooth: Root canal treatment allows the natural tooth to be preserved, avoiding the need for extraction and subsequent replacement with implants or bridges.
• Restoring Functionality: After root canal therapy and crown placement, the treated tooth can function like a natural tooth, allowing you to chew and speak normally.
• Preventing Future Problems: By eliminating the infection and sealing the root canal, future problems that could affect not only the treated tooth but also adjacent teeth and overall oral health are prevented.

Advanced endodontic care includes the use of modern techniques and technologies to ensure more effective, comfortable, and precise treatments.

• Endodontic Microscopes: The use of microscopes allows endodontists to see the inside of the tooth in great detail, improving precision during root canal treatment.
• Digital Imaging: Digital x-rays and CT scans provide detailed images of the dental structure, allowing for better treatment planning and execution.
• Rotary Instrumentation and Lasers: Modern tools, such as rotary instrumentation and the use of lasers, make root canal cleaning and disinfection more efficient and less invasive.

• Comprehensive Evaluation: Each patient receives a complete evaluation to determine the best treatment strategy, considering their dental history and specific needs.
• Patient Comfort: Patient comfort is a priority. Advanced pain management and sedation techniques are used to ensure the most stress-free experience possible.
• Follow-up and Maintenance: After treatment, ongoing follow-up and care are provided to ensure that the treated tooth remains healthy and functional.
