Root canal treatment helps save the tooth from extraction. Using modern diagnostics and microscopic treatment ensures long-lasting results.
"Every natural tooth is unique and precious. Modern endodontics allows saving teeth that would previously have been condemned to extraction. Microscopic treatment ensures maximum precision and long-lasting results."
— Dr. Agnė Kalinkaitė, Doctor Odontologist
Endodontic treatment, also called root canal treatment, is a procedure during which the tooth's internal tissues (pulp), affected by infection, decay or trauma, are treated. The goal is to remove inflammation or infection, save the natural tooth and prevent further tooth loss.
Saving a natural tooth is important not only for aesthetics but also for functional oral health. Endodontic treatment helps avoid tooth extraction and maintain full jaw functionality.
Endodontic treatment is recommended when:
Tooth is severely damaged by decay
Tooth pain appeared, especially at night
Tooth became sensitive to hot or cold food
Gum swelling or pus formation near the tooth root is observed
Want to save natural teeth instead of extracting them
Early intervention helps avoid complex treatments.
The endodontic treatment process consists of several stages ensuring a quality result.
Diagnostics and X-ray examination - determining canal anatomy and extent of infection
Anesthesia and preparation of tooth access
Removal of infected pulp, cleaning and shaping of canals
Filling of canals with special materials to ensure tightness
Tooth restoration - filling or crown, restoring tooth function and aesthetics
Experienced endodontists using modern equipment and microscopes
Precise diagnostics, controlling every canal
Maximum preservation of natural tooth tissues
Long-lasting treatment result and reliable tooth preservation
To ensure a long-lasting result, follow these recommendations:
Avoid hard or very hot/cold products for a few hours after the procedure
Maintain oral hygiene - brush teeth regularly and use dental floss
Visit for check-ups regularly so the treatment remains effective
We answer the most popular questions about endodontic treatment.
The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, so the patient feels no pain.
Most root canal treatments are performed during one or several visits, depending on tooth complexity.
Properly performed treatment ensures tooth preservation, but rarely re-treatment of canals may be needed.
