Endodontics

The Key to Saving Your Natural Teeth

Severe tooth pain or a deep infection doesn't always mean you should lose your tooth. Endodontics, commonly known as root canal treatment, is an advanced procedure designed to do just the opposite: to save your tooth and restore it to full health and function.

It is the best alternative to extraction, focused on preserving what is yours.

What exactly is endodontics?

Endodontics is the treatment that addresses the interior of the tooth, specifically the root canals where the pulp (the "nerve") resides. When this vital tissue becomes severely inflamed or infected, endodontic treatment is the definitive solution.

Our goal is not only to eliminate pain, but also to preserve the integrity of the tooth. The procedure is designed to:

Eliminate Bacteria: The inside of the tooth is accessed to thoroughly clean and disinfect the canals, eradicating the infection at the root.
Prevent Reinfection: Once cleaned, the canals are tightly sealed to protect the tooth from future bacterial invasion.
Saving the Natural Tooth: The tooth is restored (usually with a crown or inlay) to regain its strength and appearance.

Benefits: More than just preserving a tooth

Opting for a root canal instead of an extraction has key benefits for your overall health and well-being:

Full Functionality: Allows you to continue eating with complete comfort and confidence, without altering your bite.
Preserve your Natural Smile: Maintains the aesthetics of your smile, avoiding spaces or tooth movement that can be caused by tooth loss.
Protect your Bone and Gum: By keeping the tooth in place, the jawbone and surrounding gum are preserved, preventing bone resorption.
Long-Term Durability: With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can functionally last as long as the rest of your natural teeth.

A Unique Specialty in Regeneration

Endodontics is a specialty based on the most solid scientific evidence. Its focus is not only on healing, but also on regeneration. Like no other oral specialty, endodontics focuses on creating the conditions for the bone lost around the tooth, as a result of infection, to recover and heal.

Don't let a severe infection force you to lose a tooth. Root canal treatment is the modern solution to preserving your dental health.
