Microscope Root Canal Treatment

Microscope-assisted root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth and seals the cleaned canals, allowing a natural tooth to be kept rather than extracted. DentalCover's endodontists work under a dental microscope for precision, with pricing set by the number of canals. Retreatment of teeth that were root-filled previously is also offered. The clinic's on-site CBCT supports diagnosis of complex cases, and comfort options are available throughout.

Root canal (endodontic) treatment is used when the soft tissue inside a tooth — the pulp — becomes inflamed or infected, often through deep decay, a crack or trauma. The aim is to relieve pain, clear the infection and preserve the natural tooth by removing the diseased pulp, shaping and disinfecting the canal system and sealing it. At DentalCover endodontics is performed under a dental operating microscope, which magnifies and illuminates the inside of the tooth so the clinician can locate fine or hidden canals and work with greater precision — particularly valuable in molars with several canals. Treatment usually starts with a consultation and assessment, sometimes supported by a CBCT scan from the clinic's own radiology lab for difficult anatomy or to investigate a previously treated tooth. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, with nitrous-oxide sedation or general anaesthesia available for anxious patients. Pricing reflects complexity, rising with the number of canals, and the clinic also handles retreatment — reopening and re-cleaning a tooth that was root-filled before but has not settled — as well as rebuilding badly broken-down teeth so they can be treated. After successful endodontic treatment a back tooth is often best protected with a crown to guard against fracture, which the clinic can plan as a next step. Microscope root canal treatment suits adults who want to save a painful or infected tooth rather than lose it; the endodontist will set out the likely number of visits and the prognosis at the assessment.
