# Root Canal Treatments (Endodontics)

We offer endodontics, a dental specialty that treats certain types of issues and preserves natural teeth through root canal procedures.

A root canal is essential to save severely damaged or infected teeth. It involves removing the dental pulp (nerve and blood vessels), disinfecting the canal(s), and sealing them with a filling material to preserve tooth structure and function.

Indications include:

- Deep cavities
- Fractures
- Trauma
- Severe wear
- Irreversible sensitivity

## Benefits

- Final chance to “save” a decayed or severely damaged tooth
- Prevents bacterial reinfection
- Avoids tooth extraction, maintaining a full and healthy smile

## Techniques

We offer two methods, depending on the complexity of the case:

### **Without Microscope** (conventional method)

– Uses manual tools and X-rays. Less precise in complex cases.

### With Microscope

– Offers magnified, detailed view inside the tooth  
 – Greater precision in locating and cleaning very narrow canals  
 – Higher success rate and fewer retreatments
