This is the most common misconception. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so no pain is felt during the treatment; on the contrary, root canal treatment eliminates existing pain. Mild sensitivity lasting a few days after the procedure is normal and can be easily controlled with painkillers.

A natural tooth is a structure that no prosthesis can completely replace. Extracting a tooth that can be saved with root canal treatment will create a need for implants or bridges in the future. Therefore, preserving the tooth is essential whenever possible.

Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment can become brittle over time; crowns (veneers) are recommended, especially for back teeth, to withstand chewing forces. This ensures the treatment lasts longer.

Depending on the condition of the tooth, most cases can be completed in a single session. In cases of severe inflammation, treatment may be spread over two sessions. Your dentist will give you clear information after the examination.

A root canal treated tooth, when properly treated and crowned, can last a lifetime with correct care. Regular check-ups are important for a long life.

You may experience mild tenderness while chewing for the first few days; this is normal and will gradually decrease. If you experience severe or prolonged pain, you should consult your doctor.

Yes. Our clinic has a 3D digital tomography (CBCT) scanner. CT scans are critical, especially for complex root canal anatomy, recurrent infections, or additional canals not visible on standard X-rays. We perform the imaging in-house, eliminating the need to travel to another center; this ensures complete and accurate treatment of the canals and reduces the risk of failure.
