Endodontics
Precision work down to the root
Using special files and modern techniques, we clean the root canal all the way to the tip. This way the infection is completely removed and the tooth can be preserved.

A root canal treatment is necessary when the nerve of a tooth is infected or irreparably damaged. With modern techniques and local anaesthesia, the treatment is virtually painless — and in most cases the tooth can be saved.
An endodontic treatment is required when the pulp (the interior containing nerves and blood vessels) is infected or severely damaged by deep cavities, a cracked tooth or trauma.
Under local anaesthesia, the pulp is removed, the canal is cleaned and disinfected, then sealed. The tooth is then restored with a filling or crown. Treatment takes 1-2 sessions of 60-90 minutes.
Thanks to modern anaesthesia techniques, a root canal treatment is no more painful than a regular filling. After treatment, the tooth may be sensitive for a few days — this is easily managed with pain relievers.
A root canal treatment is always preferable to extraction. Preserving your own tooth is better for the jawbone, surrounding teeth and overall dental health.
