Safe and fast root canal treatment to eliminate infection
At Junyent Estudi Dental, we perform root canal treatments under a surgical microscope, locating all canals and eliminating infection with nickel-titanium rotary files and ultrasonic irrigation systems. Digital planning with 3D radiography allows us to accurately measure canal length and ensure complete, comfortable cleaning, thanks to state-of-the-art local anesthesia.
Once the inside of the tooth is disinfected, we seal the canals with thermoplastic gutta-percha and place a temporary or definitive restoration that reinforces the structure. In most cases, we complete this in a single session, restoring functionality and avoiding extraction. Regular follow-up ensures proper healing and the long life of your natural tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions about Root Canal Treatment
When is a root canal treatment necessary?
When the tooth pulp (nerve and blood vessels) becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, or leakage from a restoration. The goal is to eliminate the infection and prevent tooth extraction.
How long does the treatment take to complete?
In most cases, it is completed in a single 60-90 minute session. Complex situations or extensive infections may require a second appointment to ensure complete disinfection.
- Among these are dental fillings or obturations, which are used to restore teeth affected by decay, removing the damaged part and filling the space with materials that mimic the appearance of the original tooth.
- Root canal treatments or endodontics are another common intervention, especially when infection affects the tooth's pulp, allowing the tooth to be saved instead of extracted.
- Additionally, periodic dental cleanings, performed to remove accumulated plaque and tartar, are fundamental for maintaining gum and tooth health, preventing periodontal diseases.
- Finally, dental sealants, a protective layer applied to posterior teeth, help prevent the appearance of cavities by sealing grooves and fissures where food debris and bacteria can accumulate.
All these procedures aim to preserve the integrity of the teeth and maintain a healthy and functional smile.
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. State-of-the-art local anesthesia is applied to prevent pain during the procedure. After the intervention, there may be mild discomfort controllable with conventional analgesics.
Fillings are needed when decay is detected, usually in its initial stages, where it has not yet deeply affected the tooth. If decay is detected early, the treatment consists of removing the affected part and filling the space with the appropriate material, preventing the cavity from growing and avoiding the need for more invasive treatments like root canals. They are also necessary when a tooth shows wear or minor fractures, in order to restore its structure and functionality. Fillings are essential for maintaining dental health and preventing major complications, such as infections or tooth loss.
Is it better to save the tooth or opt for extraction?
Whenever viable, preserving the natural tooth with a root canal treatment is the preferable option: it maintains chewing function, prevents movement of adjacent teeth, and is usually more economical than a prosthesis or implant.
Root canal treatment involves the removal of the diseased pulp from the tooth, followed by cleaning and disinfection of the root canal (the channel containing the pulp). Once the canal is clean and free of infection, it is filled with a biocompatible material that seals the canal to prevent future infections. Finally, the tooth is restored with a filling or a crown to ensure its functionality and protect it from potential additional damage.
This treatment is essential for saving teeth that would otherwise have to be extracted due to severe infections or pulp damage. Although the process may seem intimidating, it is a common and effective technique that allows the original tooth to be preserved and avoids the need for prostheses or implants.
How is a root canal treatment performed?
The pulp chamber is accessed, each canal is cleaned and disinfected with rotary files and ultrasonic irrigation, and the canals are filled with gutta-percha and biocompatible sealer. Finally, the tooth is reconstructed and, if necessary, protected with a crown to ensure its durability.
