Root canal treatment in Saquarema

Root canal treatment with care and precision.

What is endodontics?

Endodontics treats the inside of the tooth, where the pulp and nerves are. Root canal treatment is needed when this area is inflamed or infected.

The aim is to save the tooth: the canal is cleaned, disinfected and sealed, and the tooth then receives a suitable filling or crown.

CROE has an endodontist at the clinic, which makes treatment easier and keeps it joined up with the other stages.

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find your question? Talk to our team on WhatsApp.

Does root canal treatment hurt?

Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic. Often, it is precisely what relieves the pain caused by the inflammation.

How many appointments are needed?

It depends on the tooth and the condition of the canal. Some cases are completed in one appointment; others need more than one.

Is the tooth weaker after a root canal?

A treated tooth needs a good filling or crown to protect it. Your dentist will recommend the best option.

Do you accept dental insurance plans?

CROE does not work with dental insurance plans. Treatment is private, paid by credit card or upfront. At your consultation, you will see the full plan for your case before you decide.
