The Process of Endodontic Treatment at AMICADENT

At AMICADENT, we use modern technology and techniques to ensure painless and precise treatment. Each step is performed with the utmost care to ensure your comfort.

1. Diagnosis and Consultation
   Using digital X-rays and 3D CT scanning, we accurately identify the extent of the damage and propose the best course of action.

2. Local Anesthesia
   The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure it is completely painless.

3. Removal of Infected Pulp
   We thoroughly remove the infected or damaged pulp using an endodontic microscope and ultrasonic instruments.

4. Cleaning and Disinfecting the Canals
   The root canals are carefully cleaned, widened, and disinfected to prevent reinfection.

5. Filling the Canals
   The canals are filled with biocompatible material (gutta-percha) to block bacterial entry.

6. Restoring the Tooth
   After the endodontic procedure, the tooth is restored with a composite filling or ceramic crown to regain full functionality and aesthetics.

Is root canal treatment painful?

No. Thanks to modern anesthesia, the procedure is completely painless. Mild post-treatment sensitivity is normal and temporary.

Standard endodontic treatment takes 60 to 90 minutes. In more complex cases, a second visit may be necessary.

How long does a treated tooth last?

With proper care, a treated tooth can last many years, often a lifetime.

Is endodontics more expensive than tooth extraction?

Yes, but preserving your natural tooth is always a better option than replacing it with an implant or bridge.
