Root Canal Treatment
“Don’t Lose Your Tooth — Bring It Back to Life.”
A tooth causing severe pain due to deep decay or trauma does not always need to be extracted. At Dentorjin Dental Clinic, in our Istanbul and Tirana branches, we preserve the natural structure of your tooth using modern endodontic techniques and provide professional solutions to keep it healthy and functional in your mouth.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a restorative procedure performed when the pulp (the nerve and blood vessel bundle inside the tooth) becomes inflamed or infected. The infected tissue is removed, the root canals are disinfected, and they are sealed with a special filling material to restore the tooth’s function.
When Is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?
If you experience one of the following symptoms, your tooth may require root canal treatment:
- Severe tooth pain that wakes you up at night.
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold that does not fade quickly.
- Swelling or pimple-like formations on the gum near the affected tooth.
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.
- Pain or discomfort when biting or chewing.
Comfortable Treatment with Advanced Technology at Dentorjin
Contrary to common belief, root canal treatment is a highly comfortable procedure with modern technology. In our clinics, we use:
- Digital Radiography: We instantly visualize the root structure and the extent of the infection.
- Rotary Systems: Advanced rotating instruments clean the canals more effectively and reduce treatment time.
- Apex Locator: We determine the exact root tip location with millimetric precision to improve long-term success.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Will I feel pain during root canal treatment? Absolutely not. With advanced local anesthesia techniques, you will not feel any pain during the procedure. In fact, root canal treatment is performed to eliminate your existing pain.
- How long does the treatment take? Depending on the level of infection, treatment is usually completed in a single session (approximately 45–60 minutes). In advanced infections, a second session may be required for proper disinfection.
- How long does a root canal treated tooth last? With a properly performed treatment and a quality restoration (filling or crown), the tooth can last a lifetime.
- Is a crown necessary after root canal treatment? Since the tooth loses its vitality after treatment, it may become more fragile. If there is significant structural loss, a zirconium or porcelain crown may be recommended to prevent fractures.
