Endodontic Treatment
This involves cleaning infected or damaged tooth nerve tissue and filling the resulting canal spaces with special filling materials. The goal is to preserve the natural tooth, since chewing sensation and function are always best with a natural tooth. It better protects the jawbone and is, in the long term, the most biologically advantageous option. If the natural tooth cannot be preserved, implants or other treatment options should be considered. Root canal treatment is not the same for every patient.
Factors That Affect Treatment Duration
Active Infections
Active infections in the tooth can prolong treatment time.
Canal Structure
A narrow, curved, or calcified canal structure.
Old Fillings / Blockages
Old fillings or blockages inside the canal.
Saving the Tooth
Difficulty in saving the tooth (ongoing leakage and inflammation).
Complex Tooth Structures
Multi-rooted and complex tooth structures.
Our Goal
To keep the tooth healthy and functional in the mouth for as long as possible.
