Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment saves a tooth whose inner pulp has become infected or inflamed by cleaning out the canals, disinfecting them and sealing them, so the tooth can be kept rather than extracted. AllDent Berlin's endodontologists carry out the treatment with pricing by the number of canals, from 195 € for a single-canal tooth up to 780 € for a complex multi-canal molar.

Root canal (endodontic) treatment is needed when the soft tissue inside a tooth — the pulp, which contains its nerve and blood supply — becomes infected or irreversibly inflamed, usually through deep decay, a crack or trauma. Left untreated this can cause significant pain and abscess formation. Treatment removes the damaged pulp, cleans and shapes the fine canals inside the roots, disinfects them and seals them with a stable filling material. Saving the natural tooth this way preserves normal biting function and avoids the gap and follow-on work that an extraction would create. At AllDent Zahnzentrum Berlin endodontic treatment is handled by the centre's in-house endodontologists under local anaesthetic, so it is comfortable — broadly similar to having a filling placed. The number of canals varies by tooth, which is why pricing runs from 195 € for a single-canal front tooth up to 780 € for a molar with several canals. Treatment may be completed in one or more visits depending on the level of infection. Because a root-treated tooth becomes more brittle, the tooth is then rebuilt and, particularly for back teeth, a protective ceramic crown is usually recommended; these restorative steps are quoted separately. DVT 3D imaging can be used where the canal anatomy is complex. Root canal treatment suits patients with a painful, abscessed or deeply damaged tooth that still has enough structure to save; the dentist confirms whether the tooth can be retained at examination. Appointments can be booked via Doctolib, and the year-round emergency service helps with acute, painful cases.
