Endodontics

Endodontics (root canal treatment) in Marostica treats inflammation or infection of the dental pulp, to keep the tooth when possible, by cleaning, disinfecting and filling the canals.

Practice in Marostica (VI)

The aim of endodontics is to keep the root when the crown can still be restored. Not every painful tooth must be extracted: many respond to root canal treatment.

Afterwards the tooth is more brittle and often needs a strong restoration (onlay or crown) to reduce fracture risk. We explain this before starting.

For retreatment or complex anatomy we discuss limits and alternatives, including extraction and a possible implant, without presenting one option as inevitable.

If a tooth hurts in Marostica or you are coming from Bassano del Grappa, a timely visit helps us see whether the tooth can be saved.

Treatment stages

  1. 1Clinical and radiographic diagnosis
  2. 2Local anaesthesia and isolation of the tooth
  3. 3Cleaning and shaping of the canals
  4. 4Root filling and restoration of the crown

Frequently asked questions

Is a root canal painful?

It is done under local anaesthetic. Any post-operative discomfort is usually manageable and temporary.

Will a root-treated tooth go dark?

Not automatically. Colour changes, if they occur, can later be addressed with suitable restorations or aesthetic treatment.

How many visits are needed?

It depends on anatomy, infection and existing restorations. Some cases finish in one visit; others need a completion appointment.

What if I leave the infection?

It can spread to the bone around the root, with abscess, pain or tooth loss. A visit lets us weigh risks and timing.
