Conservative Treatments
Endodontics in Marbella
Root canal treatment can save damaged or infected teeth, preventing the need for extraction and preserving the natural tooth structure whenever possible. This conservative treatment is essential when the tissue inside the tooth is affected, as its main aim is to retain the tooth and preserve its function.
Through a specialised procedure carried out inside the tooth, we remove the infected tissue and carefully clean the root canal before sealing it properly. This controls the infection and protects the remaining healthy tissue, restoring function, stability and comfort to the affected tooth.
When Is It Needed?
Root canal treatment is recommended when the tissue inside the tooth is affected, usually causing pain or infection. Acting promptly can preserve the tooth and prevent further complications.
