Endodontics

Endodontic treatment becomes necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. The causes of that can be deep, untreated decay, deep fillings, teeth trauma. The procedure of a root canal includes the removal of the infected nerve that is inside the root and disinfection of the root canal. The root cnals are filled with a biocompatible material called "gutta-percha".

Usually and especially when the tooth is inflamed or has an abscess this procedure takes two appointments.

In our clinic we believe in the role of the specialist in order to achieve the best result possible so we work closely with specialized endodontist who is a root canal specialist that has an additional two year training in this field.

Our endodontist uses the latest technology and a microscope, equipment that is necessary to complete a root canal treatment.

When do i need a root canal treatment?
  • When there is persistant pain on your tooth or your jaws
  • Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold
  • Discoloration of the tooth
  • Swelling
  • Sometimes the tooth might be asymptomatic

Each case is different, so together we will discuss
the advantages and disadvantages of each case selectively
