Trust Our Endodontic Specialists to Offer You an Effective and Personalized Root Canal Treatment, Restoring the Functionality and Aesthetics of Your Smile with the Greatest Precision.
Benefits of Dental Endodontic Treatment
Preservation of the Natural Tooth:
Endodontics allows for the saving of teeth that would otherwise be lost due to infections or severe damage, helping to maintain your natural smile and oral functionality.
Relief from Dental Pain:
Root canal treatment removes damaged or infected nerve tissue inside the tooth, relieving severe pain and discomfort caused by deep dental issues.
Prevention of Further Infections:
By removing infected tissue and sealing the root canal, the risk of the infection spreading to other areas of the mouth or the body is reduced.
Restoration of Dental Functionality:
After a successful endodontic treatment, the tooth can be restored with a crown or filling, allowing you to chew and speak normally without restrictions.
Lower Long-Term Costs:
By preserving a natural tooth, you avoid more costly and complex treatments such as dental implants or bridges, making endodontics a cost-effective option in the long run.
Endodontic Treatment at Centrolab Medellín: Save Your Natural Tooth
At Centrolab, we offer advanced endodontic treatment to preserve your natural teeth and restore your dental health. Endodontics, commonly known as root canal treatment, is an essential procedure for addressing severe issues inside the teeth, such as infections or damage to the dental pulp.
What is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment is performed to save a damaged or infected tooth by removing the affected pulp tissue within the root canal. This procedure involves several stages:
- Evaluation and Diagnosis: We use digital X-rays and clinical examinations to assess the condition of the tooth and determine the need for treatment.
- Cleaning and Disinfection: We remove the damaged or infected tissue from inside the tooth and clean the root canal to eliminate bacteria and prevent future infections.
- Sealing and Restoration: Once cleaned, the canal is sealed with a specialized material to protect it from new infections. Finally, we restore the tooth with a filling or crown, ensuring its functionality and aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions about Endodontics
What is Endodontic Treatment?
Endodontic treatment, also known as a root canal, is a dental procedure performed to save a damaged or infected tooth by removing the affected pulp tissue inside the tooth. The root canal is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent future infections.
When is Endodontic Treatment Needed?
Endodontic treatment is recommended when a tooth has an infection or inflammation in the dental pulp, which can cause severe pain, prolonged sensitivity, swelling, or visible damage to the tooth. The treatment is necessary to save the tooth and relieve the pain.
Is Endodontic Treatment Painful?
Most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure, as local anesthesia is used to numb the affected area. After the treatment, it is normal to feel some discomfort or sensitivity, which generally disappears within a few days.
How Should I Care for My Tooth After Endodontic Treatment?
After the treatment, it is important to follow the dentist's instructions, which include maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding hard or sticky foods, and attending follow-up appointments. The tooth may require additional restoration, such as a crown, to ensure its durability and functionality.
How Long Does Endodontic Treatment Take?
The duration of the treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the case. Generally, the procedure takes between 60 and 90 minutes. In some cases, it may be necessary to complete the treatment in two sessions, especially if there are multiple root canals.
What Are the Risks and Possible Complications of Endodontic Treatment?
The risks are minimal, but they can include a possible persistent infection, tooth fracture, or the need for additional treatment if all the infection is not removed. However, most endodontic treatments have a high success rate and allow the tooth to function properly for many years.
