Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics)

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals them to save a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. Denta Mare prices endodontics by the number of canals, from a single-canal tooth up to three canals, and also treats teeth that need retreatment of an earlier root filling. Saving the natural tooth this way preserves the bite and avoids the need for a replacement.

Inside every tooth is a soft core of nerve and blood vessels housed in narrow canals. When this tissue becomes infected or irreversibly inflamed — through deep decay, a crack or trauma — root canal treatment removes it, disinfects and shapes the canal system, and fills it to seal the space. The aim is to relieve pain and eliminate infection while keeping the natural tooth in place, which is associated with preserving normal chewing and avoiding the gap an extraction would leave. At Denta Mare endodontic fees scale with the complexity of the tooth: front teeth typically have a single canal (from 600 zł), premolars often two (800 zł) and molars commonly three (1,000 zł). Teeth that were root-filled previously but have developed renewed problems can be retreated, which involves removing the old filling material before re-cleaning and re-sealing — priced at 800 zł, 900 zł and 1,200 zł for one, two and three canals. After successful treatment a tooth is often weakened and may need a crown or post-and-core to protect it, which the clinic provides as a separate stage. The clinician uses imaging, including 3D CT where helpful, to assess canal anatomy and confirm the result. Root canal treatment suits a restorable tooth with a healthy enough root and surrounding bone; the dentist reviews the prognosis, alternatives and any follow-on restoration at consultation.
