Root Canal Treatment — Molar (Microscope)

Microscope-assisted root canal treatment that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a molar, cleans and shapes the canals and seals them, allowing a badly damaged tooth to be kept rather than extracted. Centrum ELLMED carries out endodontics under magnification and publishes prices by tooth type and canal count, with clear add-on costs for extra canals or re-treatment.

Root canal (endodontic) treatment is needed when the soft pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, often from deep decay, a crack or a failing old filling. The procedure removes that damaged tissue, then cleans, disinfects and shapes the fine canals inside the root before sealing them, which relieves pain and lets the natural tooth be retained instead of removed. Molars are the most complex teeth because they typically have several canals, so they are treated under a dental microscope at Centrum ELLMED for better visibility and precision. Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic and may be completed over one or more visits depending on the tooth. The clinic's pricing is set out by tooth type and canal number so the cost is clear in advance: 1,000 zł for a single-canal incisor, 1,700 zł for a one- or two-canal premolar, and 2,200 zł for a one-, two- or three-canal molar, with each additional canal or the re-treatment of a previously filled canal adding 340 zł, and an intracanal post 120 zł if the tooth needs extra support. Because a root-treated tooth becomes more brittle, the dentist often recommends restoring it afterwards with a substantial filling or a crown, which is quoted separately. Keeping the tooth is associated with maintaining natural chewing function and spacing, in line with the clinic's emphasis on preserving natural teeth.
