About
What Is Endodontics and When Do You Need Endodontic Treatment?
What Does Endodontics Mean?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on treating the tooth root, the part that is not visible in the oral cavity, and the dental pulp. The dental pulp is a vital part of the tooth, containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
When Is Endodontic Treatment Necessary?
Endodontic treatment is an essential step in a complex dental process. Our mission is to save and preserve the tooth in the oral cavity through this dental procedure. Each tooth has a unique anatomy, though most follow certain statistical patterns. Wisdom teeth are more atypical, and the number of root canals they have or whether they are fully operable is often unknown. In rare cases, endodontic treatment can be applied to wisdom teeth, but theoretically, they are considered “non-endodontic”.
Endodontic Treatment Has Several Indications, including:
How Long Does an Endodontic Treatment Last?
The duration of an endodontic treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the case, but generally, it lasts between 1 and 2 hours. In more complex cases, two or more sessions may be required. Each procedure is performed carefully to ensure thorough cleaning and complete sealing of the canals.
What Does an Endodontic Treatment Involve?
Endodontic treatment involves removing infected or dead dental pulp, cleaning the root canal, and filling it with a sealing material to prevent reinfection.
Is Endodontic Treatment Painful?
No, endodontic treatment is not painful. The endodontist will use local anesthesia to numb the treated area, ensuring that you do not feel any discomfort during the procedure. After treatment, you may experience mild sensitivity or pain in the treated area, but this should subside within a few days.
How Long Does Recovery After Endodontic Treatment Take?
Recovery after endodontic treatment varies from patient to patient, but generally, it does not take more than a few days. Post-procedural pain or discomfort can be managed with pain relief medication recommended by the dentist.
Can I Eat After Endodontic Treatment?
Yes, but it is recommended to wait until the anesthesia wears off and to avoid hard, sticky, hot, or very cold foods in the first few days. Discover more care and recovery guidelines after endodontic treatment!
How Much Does a Microscope-Assisted Root Canal Treatment Cost?
In general, microscope-assisted endodontic treatment is more expensive than a traditional root canal. However, it offers significant benefits, such as reducing the risk of complications, improving precision, increasing success rates, and lowering the chances of needing retreatment. In the long run, this can translate into financial savings.
How to Prepare for Endodontic Treatment?
Preparing for an endodontic procedure is quite straightforward. Consult your dentist to ensure you know everything necessary about the procedure, its duration, and what to expect. Follow their instructions and avoid alcohol consumption and smoking before the treatment.
Signs That You May Need Endodontic Treatment?
Symptoms indicating the need for endodontic treatment include persistent or acute pain, sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, swelling or abscesses around the tooth, gum inflammation, and deep cavities.
Possible Complications During and After Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment is known for its high success rate and its ability to save affected teeth. However, as with any medical procedure, unexpected situations may arise, both during treatment and afterward. These may include:
It is important to note that these risks are rare and can be minimized by choosing an experienced endodontist and strictly following post-treatment instructions.

Procedures
Endodontic Procedures We Use at Smile Vision
In Endodontic Treatment, We Use:
Rubber dam isolation system
Its purpose is to prevent disinfecting substances used for cleaning the tooth root from entering the oral cavity while maintaining a clean working field. Infection with other bacteria becomes virtually impossible. The rubber dam is the only barrier that prevents the tooth from being contaminated by oral microorganisms during endodontic treatment. This way, you are protected from contact with cleaning substances, which not only have an unpleasant taste but may also cause irritation.
Zeiss Dental Loupes
Zeiss dental loupes are devices that magnify and illuminate the treatment area up to five times, providing the dentist with the necessary precision to identify and treat the tooth canals. A magnification level of up to 40 times achievable with the Leica microscope is not always required, but we use it when the situation demands.
