Root Canal

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a highly effective dental procedure designed to save teeth that are severely decayed or infected. At Prime Health Istanbul, we specialize in providing advanced root canal treatments with precision and care, ensuring our patients receive top-quality dental care in a comfortable and stress-free environment.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal therapy focuses on removing infected or damaged pulp tissue from the interior of a tooth, preventing further infection and saving the tooth from extraction. This procedure is essential for preserving your natural teeth, restoring function, and alleviating pain caused by deep decay or infection.

The Root Canal Process at Prime Health Istanbul

At Prime Health Istanbul, our experienced dental professionals use state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure the success and comfort of your root canal treatment. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:

Step 1: Diagnosis and Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough dental examination, including X-rays, to identify the extent of the infection and assess the tooth’s condition. Our specialists explain the procedure in detail, ensuring you feel informed and confident before treatment begins.

Step 2: Preparing the Tooth

The treatment starts with the administration of local anesthesia to numb the affected area, ensuring a pain-free experience. The dentist then isolates the tooth to keep it dry and free from saliva during the procedure.

Step 3: Cleaning and Shaping the Root Canal

Using advanced tools, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed from the tooth’s interior. The canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare them for filling.

Step 4: Filling and Sealing

Once cleaned, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent future infections. This step stabilizes the tooth and restores its integrity.

Step 5: Restoration

After the root canal procedure, the tooth often requires a dental crown to provide strength and protection. At Prime Health Istanbul, we offer durable and aesthetically pleasing crowns to restore the tooth’s functionality and appearance seamlessly.

Recovery and Aftercare

Following root canal treatment, patients may experience mild sensitivity, which typically subsides within a few days. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups are crucial for the long-term success of the treatment.

Whether you’re dealing with severe tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, root canal treatment at Prime Health Istanbul offers an effective solution to save your natural teeth and restore your oral health. Trust us for precise, pain-free treatment that ensures long-lasting results.
