Saving a tooth beats rushing to extraction when the canal anatomy can be cleaned predictably. Magnification improves accuracy.
Tourism note
Single-visit or two-visit protocols depend on infection. Crowns (often zirconia) may follow to protect the tooth — plan stay length accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
Is a root canal painful?
With anaesthesia, the goal is a comfortable appointment; tenderness afterwards can occur.
Why a microscope?
Better visualisation of canals, cracks and missed anatomy.
Do I need a crown after?
Often yes for back teeth — we advise case by case.
Alternative?
Extraction and implant — discussed if the tooth is unrestorable.
