When the nerve and blood vessel tissue inside the tooth (the pulp) becomes inflamed as a result of deep decay or trauma, root canal treatment is carried out to help avoid the loss of the tooth. At Dent İlena Oral and Dental Health Clinic, we provide root canal treatment using modern technology and working with an experienced dental team, with your comfort in mind throughout. Our aim is to preserve the natural structure of your tooth without the need for extraction.

About the Service

Root canal treatment is a procedure in which the infected nerve and blood vessel tissue inside the tooth is cleaned and the canal reshaped and filled with specialised materials. This helps prevent the infection from spreading and supports the continued function of the tooth.

Root canal treatment may be carried out in the following cases:

• Toothache or abscess resulting from deep decay
• Tooth fractures caused by trauma
• Advanced sensitivity to hot and cold
• Severe throbbing toothache

What the Treatment Includes

At Dent İlena, the root canal treatment process is planned individually for each patient and carried out under fully sterile conditions. Treatment can often be completed in a single session, though more complex cases may require several appointments.

• Treatment under local anaesthesia, with your comfort in mind
• Digital imaging and precise canal measurement
• Microscope-assisted cleaning and filling
• Disinfection of the root canal
• Follow-up review and, where needed, a protective crown

Further Information

Root canal treatment usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Local anaesthesia is used throughout the procedure. Mild sensitivity may occur afterwards, which typically settles within a few days.

Treatment Stages

• Numbing of the tooth with local anaesthesia
• Removal of decayed tissue and infected pulp
• Shaping and disinfection of the canal space
• Filling and sealing of the canal
• Placement of a protective crown where needed

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• Can allow the natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted
• Preserves the natural form of the tooth and its chewing function
• A durable treatment when combined with proper care
• Maintains the natural appearance of the tooth
