Root canal treatment

Preserving what is worth preserving
We live in a disposable, all-replaceable era. Yet, some things truly deserve to be saved, preserved, and respected.
Take our teeth, for example: they are the gateway to our nutrition, the reflection of our emotions, and an indicator of our overall health. Our natural teeth are worth saving. And no one is better qualified to do so than a dentist specializing in endodontics.
What is it for
This procedure, commonly known as a root canal treatment, is necessary
when the dental pulp is inflamed or infected.
The intervention allows to:
Relieve pain by removing the diseased tissue.
Clean and seal the inside of the root to prevent any new infection.
Keep your natural tooth, preserving effective chewing and an aesthetic smile.
Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting.
Avoid heavier treatments and costly replacements, such as dental implants.
Reliability
Exceptional success rates
Thanks to modern technologies, this treatment is extremely reliable. Major international bodies confirm this:
European Society of Endodontology (ESE)
Confirms this high efficiency, with a survival rate of treated teeth of around 90% after 10 years, guaranteeing long-lasting comfort.
American Association of Endodontists (AAE)
Reports a success rate exceeding 95%. With proper restoration and good hygiene, the treated tooth can last a lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ Endodontics
Is a root canal painful?
No. Thanks to modern local anesthesia, root canal treatment is painless. You may experience slight sensitivity in the days following the procedure, which can easily be managed with a standard pain reliever.
How many appointments are required for endodontic treatment?
In general, 1 to 2 sessions are sufficient, depending on the complexity of the tooth (number of roots, presence of infection). Each session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
How long does an endodontically treated tooth last?
With appropriate restoration (most often a crown) and good hygiene, a root-canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. The ESE reports a 90% survival rate at 10 years, while the AAE reports a success rate of over 95%.
Is a crown necessary after a root canal treatment?
In most cases, yes. A root-canal-treated tooth becomes more fragile; a crown protects it from fractures and ensures the longevity of the treatment.
Endodontics or extraction and implant: which to choose?
Preserving your natural tooth remains the best option whenever possible. Endodontic treatment is less invasive, faster, and often less expensive than a dental implant.
