What Are the Advantages of Using a Microscope for Root Canal Treatment?

Maximum precision

Working with a dental microscope allows us to see even the tiniest details, which can make a huge difference in the outcome. We can detect infections that would otherwise go unnoticed, avoiding future complications.

Deep and safe cleaning

Thanks to the microscope’s magnification, we can thoroughly clean the root canals. This helps prevent infections from returning and avoids issues that could affect your long-term oral health.

We protect your natural tooth

Another big advantage is that the microscope helps us preserve more of your tooth’s original structure, which is crucial to keeping it strong and lasting longer.

Higher success rates

By combining experience with cutting-edge tools, we increase the likelihood of a successful outcome and help you keep your tooth for years to come.

At Shtern Dental Clinic, we focus on giving you a root canal experience that is effective, professional, and as comfortable as possible.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Choosing a root canal over extraction comes with many short- and long-term advantages:

Keeps your natural tooth
As dental professionals, we know that saving your natural tooth is always the best option in terms of function and aesthetics. It preserves the root, maintains jawbone stability, and keeps adjacent teeth aligned.

Removes infection
The most common reason for needing a root canal is an infected nerve. By removing the infected tissue and disinfecting the canal, the treatment eliminates pain, sensitivity, and abscesses.

Prevents more complex and costly treatments
A successful root canal avoids the need for tooth extraction, which often leads to more expensive procedures like implants or bridges.

Restores tooth function
After a root canal, the tooth can still function normally when chewing or speaking, especially if it is properly restored with a crown or resin.

Maintains your smile
Aesthetic restorations can be placed over the treated tooth, helping you maintain a natural and harmonious smile.

High long-term success rate
When done correctly, a root canal can keep a tooth healthy for decades, as long as the patient follows proper hygiene and gets regular checkups.

Safe and minimally invasive
Modern root canals are performed under local anesthesia with technology that reduces discomfort and increases precision. This means quicker and smoother treatments.

Supports overall oral health
Removing dental infections reduces the bacterial load in the mouth, protecting gums, bones, and neighboring teeth from further issues.

What our patients say

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Treatment

When do I need a root canal?

If you’ve been experiencing persistent tooth pain or discomfort, it may be time to consider a root canal. Here are common signs:

Ongoing pain that may come and go, especially when chewing or putting pressure on the tooth. It often gets worse at night or doesn’t improve with painkillers.
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers even after the stimulus is removed.
Darkening of the gums near the affected tooth, which may indicate that the pulp is dead.
Bad taste or chronic bad breath due to bacterial buildup.

How does a root canal work?

A root canal involves removing the infected pulp from inside the tooth. Once removed, the area is cleaned and filled with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then sealed and usually restored with a crown for added protection.

Steps include:

Diagnosis: We request an X-ray or CT scan to assess the tooth’s shape, damage, and number of canals.
Anesthesia and isolation: A rubber dam is placed around the tooth to keep the area sterile, and local anesthesia is used.
Accessing the pulp chamber: A small opening is made to reach the infected tissue.
Cleaning and disinfecting: Special tools and solutions are used to remove the infection and clean the canals.
Sealing: The canals are filled with gutta-percha to prevent future infections. Posts may be placed if reinforcement is needed.
Restoration: The tooth is then restored with composite or, more commonly, a crown for long-term strength and function.

At Shtern Clinic, we use technologies like microscopes and rotary systems to improve accuracy and reduce treatment time.

How long is the recovery and what should I do afterward?

Most patients can go back to their daily routine the same day, as long as they follow aftercare instructions. Recovery generally takes 3 to 7 days, depending on the case. Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until a crown is placed, and maintain good oral hygiene and follow-up visits.

Is a root canal painful?

Not with modern anesthetics. Root canals are designed to relieve pain, not cause it. At Shtern Clinic, we use techniques that make the procedure more comfortable and help reduce anxiety.
