Saving teeth with the microscope
Root Canal Treatment

Endodontics at Dental11
MDDr.(CZE) Polydefkis Papaioannou completed the endodontics curriculum of the German Society of Endodontology and Dental Traumatology (DGET) in 2020 to 2021. Saving your own tooth is therefore the focus.
Re-treatment
If a root-filled tooth causes problems again, a re-treatment can make sense. The old filling material is removed and the canal system is cleaned, disinfected and sealed again.
After treatment
A root-filled tooth is often less stable. Depending on the findings, a crown from a Swiss lab protects it from load. Regular dental hygiene supports long-term success.

FAQ
Questions about Root Canal Treatment
Is a root canal painful?
The treatment is done under local anaesthesia. Afterwards the tooth may be sensitive for a few days.
How many appointments are needed?
Often two appointments of 60 to 90 minutes each. Complex cases may need another one. This depends on the findings.
Does health insurance cover the cost?
Basic insurance usually does not cover root canal treatment. Check in advance whether a supplementary policy pays part of it.
Root canal or extraction?
This can only be judged after an examination. We explain both options with their pros, cons and costs.
