CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY

ENDODONTIC OR ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

This is a procedure through which damaged or infected tissues can be precisely and thoroughly removed from the entire root canal system using special root canal drills and instruments, along with appropriate disinfectants for disinfecting the root canals.

In root canal treatment, we utilize modern technical instruments:

  • The dental microscope greatly enhances the field of view, allowing easier detection of additional root canals and removal of remnants from previous unsuccessful treatments or broken root canal instruments.
  • RECIPROC machine for mechanical root canal widening.
  • Endodontic ultrasonics which help remove remnants of inflamed tissue, previous fillings, and calcifications. It also enables additional irrigation of root canals for thorough disinfection.

What to expect after the procedure?

The tooth is typically sensitive to biting for 2–3 days after the procedure. If necessary, you can take pain relief medication.

Endodontically treated teeth are more fragile. Over time, despite successful root canal treatment, teeth may become darker because there is no tooth nerve.

If the defect in the tooth crown is minor, the treated teeth should be protected with a composite filling after the procedure. If the defect is larger, appropriate prosthetic treatment (with a root canal post and crown) is necessary.

This reduces the risk of complications that could lead to tooth loss in the future.

TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS

When tooth decay or cavities damage a tooth, the affected dental tissue needs to be removed and thoroughly cleaned with drills before placing a filling.

At our center, we offer only tooth-colored fillings, which are more aesthetic than amalgam fillings and minimally invasive due to a special fabrication technique. This involves layering individual layers of composite directly onto the cleaned tooth, which are then cured with a special UV light. We use only high-quality composite materials. The use of a dental microscope during filling placement ensures high precision, resulting in longer-lasting fillings.

CROWNS

CROWNS are fixed prosthetic restorations that cover the entire tooth crown.

Their purpose is to satisfy both function and aesthetics by:

  • replacing severely damaged tooth crowns due to fracture, injury, or wear that cannot be restored with a filling.
  • protecting weakened teeth (endodontically treated teeth, teeth with extensive fillings).
  • serving as a support in a dental bridge that replaces missing teeth.
  • addressing aesthetic concerns such as reshaping of teeth or discolored teeth.
