Root Canal Treatment
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure in which the infected pulp tissue inside the tooth is removed, the canals are shaped and disinfected, and then sealed with special biocompatible filling materials.
Thanks to this treatment, a tooth with deep decay can be preserved and continue to function healthily in the mouth.
With modern endodontic therapy techniques, root canal treatment is now much faster, more comfortable, and highly effective.
How Is Root Canal Treatment Performed?
1. Diagnosis and Imaging
The root structure of the tooth is analyzed using X-rays and, if necessary, tomography. This allows a personalized treatment plan to be created.
2. Local Anesthesia
The procedure is completely painless. The area is numbed with local anesthesia.
3. Canal Cleaning
The infected pulp tissue is removed using special endodontic instruments. The canals are enlarged and shaped.
4. Disinfection
The root canals are sterilized with special solutions. This step is critical for the success of the treatment.
5. Canal Filling
The canals are completely sealed with biocompatible filling materials to prevent reinfection.
6. Final Filling or Crown
Depending on the condition of the tooth, a composite filling or, if necessary, a crown is placed.
At SVS, modern endodontic rotary systems and digital measurement devices are used, making the treatment process both fast and highly successful.

What Happens If Root Canal Treatment Is Not Done?
Delaying treatment can lead to the progression of infection, bone loss, abscess formation, severe pain, and eventual tooth loss. Root canal treatment is the most effective solution to preserve the natural tooth and helps eliminate the need for advanced procedures such as dental implants.
How Long Does Root Canal Treatment Take?
The duration of root canal treatment varies depending on the condition of the tooth. Simple cases are usually completed in a single session lasting 30–60 minutes, while infected teeth may require 2–3 sessions. Detailed imaging with tomography helps reduce the number of sessions and speeds up the treatment process.
What Should Be Done After Root Canal Treatment?
Mild sensitivity may be experienced for a few days after root canal treatment, and this is normal. It is important to avoid hard foods for the first 24 hours, take prescribed medications regularly, avoid putting excessive pressure on the treated tooth, and attend follow-up appointments. SVS dentists closely monitor the post-treatment process and provide all necessary support.
