Root Canal Treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is performed when the nerve inside a tooth becomes irreversibly inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks or trauma. Instead of removing the tooth, the dentist accesses the root canal space, cleans out the diseased tissue and shapes the canals so that they can be filled with a biocompatible material. This allows the tooth to remain in the mouth and continue functioning, while relieving pain and controlling infection.

Why Choose Root Canal Treatment at Inci Dis?

At Inci Dis, root canal procedures are carried out with the help of magnification, modern rotary instruments and digital radiography. These tools increase accuracy and reduce treatment time compared with older techniques, which is especially important for complex multi rooted teeth. If the tooth is particularly challenging, our restorative team and endodontically focused dentists work together to decide whether retreatment, surgery or extraction is the best option for your overall oral health.

How the Process Works

After root canal treatment, a tooth often needs additional protection in the form of a crown or onlay, especially in the back of the mouth where chewing forces are high. Because our prosthetic and endodontic departments share the same digital records and lab, we can plan the restoration from the beginning and avoid unnecessary delays between stages. This integrated planning is particularly valuable for patients who travel from abroad and have limited time in Istanbul, as it reduces the number of separate trips required.
