We eliminate the pulp infection to preserve your natural tooth. Rotary endodontic systems and digital X-rays for an accurate, minimally invasive and pain-free procedure at our Santutxu clinic.
Endodontics — commonly known as a root canal — is a dental procedure aimed at eliminating a pulp infection (the innermost living tissue of the tooth). When bacteria reach this tissue through deep cavities, cracks or trauma, they cause intense pain and inflammation that can spread to surrounding structures.
Without treatment, the infection can lead to a dental abscess and, ultimately, loss of the tooth. Endodontics allows us to preserve the natural tooth completely, avoiding the need for extractions, implants or prostheses in many cases.
Step by Step
We take a digital X-ray to assess the depth of the infection and plan the procedure accurately.
We apply local anaesthesia to ensure that throughout the procedure you feel absolutely no pain.
We remove the infected pulp using electronic apex locator and rotary instruments for maximum precision.
We clean and shape the canals, then fill them with gutta-percha to prevent reinfection.
We rebuild the tooth with a composite filling or, if necessary, protect it with a crown to guarantee its durability.
Eliminates severe toothache: The antibacterial treatment of the infected pulp eliminates the source of acute pain.
Preserves the natural tooth: You keep your real tooth with all its functionality and natural appearance.
Prevents the spread of infection: We stop the bacteria from reaching the jaw and other structures.
Completely painless: Local anaesthesia ensures the procedure is as comfortable as a routine filling.
Faster recovery than an extraction: After endodontics the recovery is usually quick, without the complex healing that follows an extraction.
