Clinical and radiographic examination to assess the condition of the dental pulp and root canals. The dentist determines whether the tooth is treatable and plans the most appropriate approach for the case — often completed in a single session, with local anaesthesia for complete comfort.
Under local anaesthesia, the infected pulp is removed and the canals are instrumented with nickel-titanium (rotary) files to ensure complete cleaning. The inside of the tooth is disinfected and sealed with a biocompatible material — painless throughout the procedure.
After treatment, the tooth is permanently restored — in most cases with a ceramic crown to protect and strengthen the remaining structure. The treated tooth functions normally and can last decades with proper care.
When the tooth pulp is infected, endodontics removes the infection, relieves the pain and preserves your natural tooth whenever possible.
What is itEndodontics treats infections inside the tooth (pulp) before they spread. By preserving the natural structure, it avoids extraction and maintains chewing function without the need for implants or dentures. Thanks to modern local anaesthesia, the procedure is painless and can be completed in 1 to 3 sessions.

Not during the procedure — local anaesthesia completely blocks any sensation of pain. There may be mild discomfort in the following days, easily controlled with over-the-counter anti-inflammatories.
Most cases are resolved in 1 to 2 sessions. Cases with active infection or complex canal anatomy may require a third session to ensure complete disinfection.
The tooth structure becomes somewhat more fragile without the pulp, which is why a ceramic crown is often recommended to protect the tooth long-term — especially in back teeth subject to greater chewing force.
Yes, with caution. The tooth is protected with a temporary dressing between sessions. We recommend avoiding chewing hard foods on that tooth until the permanent restoration is in place.
With a good restoration and proper oral hygiene, an endodontically treated tooth can last a lifetime. The 10-year success rate exceeds 85% in controlled clinical studies.
