What is a root canal?
A root canal, also known as endodontic treatment, removes infected or damaged pulp tissue, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals them. The goal is to preserve the natural tooth whenever the diagnosis and prognosis allow.
Through Pepper Finance and Banco Santander, you can finance complex dental treatments in installments of up to 24 months, with no interest.
Types of Root Canal Treatment We Offer
It is performed on teeth with a single root and a single root canal, such as incisors and canines. It is the most common treatment and the one with the highest success rate.
Includes:
- Diagnosis using X-rays or 3D CT scans
- Local Anesthesia and Tooth Isolation
- Cleaning, Disinfection, and Root Canal Filling
The tooth is then restored with a filling or a crown.
This procedure is performed on teeth with multiple roots and root canals, such as molars and premolars. It requires greater technical precision due to the complexity of their internal anatomy.
Includes:
- Locating all conduits using magnification
- Cleaning and disinfecting each duct individually
- Complete filling and airtight sealing
It is commonly performed on posterior teeth and is usually completed in one or two sessions.
Sometimes a previous root canal does not heal properly, or a new infection develops over time. In these cases, it is possible to retreat the tooth before resorting to extraction.
It may be necessary when:
- Pain or inflammation persists after a previous treatment
- A new cavity or leak appears in the tooth
- A duct that was not properly treated has been detected
In more complex cases, we also consider apical surgery (apicectomy) to save the tooth.
When might a root canal be necessary?
A root canal may be recommended when the dental pulp or nerve is inflamed or infected. Some signs to look for include:
- Severe tooth pain, either spontaneous or when chewing.
- Persistent sensitivity to cold or heat.
- Gum inflammation, abscess, or dental infection.
- Tooth discoloration.
- Deep tooth decay or dental trauma.
These symptoms do not automatically mean that you need a root canal; a professional diagnosis is essential.
