What are Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes
infected. When the pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes damaged, it needs
to be removed to prevent abscess formation and tooth loss.
At our Istanbul clinic, we use advanced rotary endodontics and digital imaging to ensure the procedure is as precise and comfortable
as possible. According to the American Association of Endodontists, a root canal is a highly effective way to maintain your natural
smile and avoid the need for Dental Implants.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Choosing to save your natural tooth via a root canal has several advantages over extraction:
The Procedure: Step-by-Step
Our endodontists follow a meticulous process to ensure your tooth is healthy and infection-free.
Examination & X-Ray
We use digital X-rays to see the shape of the root canals and determine if there are any signs of infection in the surrounding bone.
Anesthesia & Cleaning
Local anesthesia is applied to ensure you feel no pain. The dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans the root canal thoroughly, and shapes the area for filling.
Sealing the Tooth
The cleaned canal is filled with a biocompatible material (usually gutta-percha) and sealed.
Final Restoration
Since a tooth that needs a root canal often has a large filling or extensive decay, a Zirconium Crown is usually placed on top to protect it from breaking and restore full function.
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
One of the biggest myths in dentistry is that root canals are painful. In reality, a root canal is performed to ELIMINATE pain. With modern local anesthesia and sedation options, the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling. Most patients feel immediate relief from the intense toothache they had before the treatment. Any mild sensitivity following the procedure can be managed with common painkillers from our aftercare kit.
Post-surgery, you may feel mild tenderness or swelling for 3 to 5 days, which is easily managed with the medication provided in our aftercare kits. Most patients report that the discomfort is less than that of a standard tooth extraction.
