What is a root canal procedure?

Root canal procedures, or endodontics, is a treatment for the inner pulp of the tooth. They are performed to save teeth from extraction. The dentist or endodontist, a root canal specialist, cleans out the decayed or damaged pulp without breaking the exterior of the tooth root. The cleaned root canal is filled with a bio-compatible rubber-like material called gutta-percha. They are also performed for patients with damaged teeth caused by accidents or fractures. The procedure takes one to two hours to complete.

What are the types of root canal procedures?

Primary root canal treatments are performed using stainless steel files. Stainless steel files could remove only a small amount of infection and could easily break. The more advanced and flexible nickel titanium files do not break easily and are able to clean the entire infected area easily. Rotary instruments used to clean the root canal are quicker than manual instruments. Other advanced root canal procedures make use of ultrasound or laser to effectively clean the root canal.

Is a root canal procedure painful?

Root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthetic. Patients will not feel pain during the procedure.

What is the recovery time after having a root canal procedures?

Patients take about three days to recover after a root canal procedure. Some patients require a week to recover from a root canal procedure.

When can I travel by air after a root canal procedure?

It is safe to travel by air one day after a root canal procedure. Patients should check with their dentist before embarking on their journey. If they feel pain or discomfort, they should postpone their journey until it abates.

What care is required after a root canal procedure?

Patients should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should not eat until the anaesthetic wears off. They should not eat or drink very hot or very cold food for at least a week. They should avoid eating hard food or sticky food. If swelling occurs they should sleep with their head raised for a few days to bring it down.

What are the alternatives to root canal procedures?

Alternatives to root canal procedures include extractions and pulp capping procedures.

Dr. Urzola is not just a highly trained oral surgeon he also cares. You are not just a number at Urzola Clinic. From the time you enter their office you are in excellent hands. The entire staff treat you like you are their only patient. Everyone I dealt with Cristina, Adriana and everyone else were all trained professionals that cared about your comfort. The procedure I had was all-on-6 for my lowers and I will be returning for the same procedure for my upper teeth. Compared to US prices it is worth going to Costa Rica. The bonus is you get to travel to a foreign country. My next trip to Costa Rica I will be exploring their diverse countryside. Mountains, volcanos, rain forests and beaches.

I am extremely happy with the outcomeRuben, US, 06 07 23

Over a year ago I had started treatment in Tijuana Mexico and I was supposed to return in 4 months to have implants and crowns put in. I live in California 2 1/2 hour drive from the border, however, things took a turn for the worse with illegal migration building, criminal retaliation shootings kidnapping and so forth I felt uncomfortable returning. So I went online looking for something comparable, quality work that was affordable, I considered Spain because I had been there several times and was listed, so was Costa Rica and I've always wanted to visit it, then I looked up the top recommendations and decided on Clear Choice. I contacted them and spoke to Gabriel Fallas and they're fluent in both Spanish and English, from the first moment I found him reassuring and helpful. I sent a copy of my X-Ray and we were able to come to terms on treatment and pricing. Upon arrival they picked me up at the airport took me to the hotel and picked me and dropped me off for every appointment including another X-Ray from the pharmacy and back to the airport they even offered me transportation to a beautiful beach 3 hours away. I had extensive work done by Doctor Heiner Cubero and I am extremely happy with the outcome. I had 8 implants 2 molar extractions and bone grafts and 23 crowns using top-quality materials, it was almost pain-free. The Doctor did it in two visits and one day of rest in between. I would highly recommend them to anybody considering dental work. Thanks

Toothlessness and unfixed tooth replacements can cause problems while eating and speaking. It is common for those who wear dentures to lose their taste sensations (salty, sour, bitter, hot) as the taste buds are covered by denture adhesive. In addition, chewing can be difficult resulting in severe digestive problems. Dentures start to move after a while due to jaw bone loss. Moving dentures can cause bruising and sores in the mouth, making everyday life uncomfortable. Dental implants are very similar to natural teeth in function and appearance. Implants improve the ability to taste and chew, another reason why implants are an ideal replacement for missing teeth. Dental implants act as artificial roots, which have been inserted into the jaw bone to fuse together with the bone and are then loaded with crowns or a bridge to provide firm, stable teeth.

Everyone was kind and considerateWillow, US, 17 03 23

I came to Costa Rica at the end of February 2023 to work with Dr. Gadea and I had a wonderful experience. I was referred to him by a number of his patients who had successful experiences with him, and they live in North Carolina. The doctor and I emailed back-and-forth since the fall. He never hesitated to get back to me as soon as possible when I had questions. As a woman on my own, traveling to Costa Rica for dental work, I felt safe and secure, I felt supported and listened to by Dr. Gadea and his lovely staff. Everyone was kind and considerate. Everyone speaks wonderful English as well. His office has state of the art equipment to help further diagnose. My treatment plan consisted of six veneers, a root canal and a crown, a deep cleaning over my six veneers as well as teeth whitening. Dr. Gadea is an artist. He did an amazing job on my six front teeth. He did a fabulous job on my teeth in general. Even the anesthesia the doctor used seemed cleaner than the products they use at my general dentist in North Carolina. I am so grateful for him and his wonderful staff. I am so relieved that I am in network with Dr. Gadea. I will be going back every year that I can because I trust him with his superior artistic skills and his exemplary technical skills.

This is the most natural, new and healthy way to replace lost teeth.The dental implants are made of titanium because it doesn’t reject tissues and fits perfectly with the bone.

It gives me so much confidence and I can finally smile like a beautiful butterflyWiebke, Germany, 27 09 22

I highly recommend Dr. Jehova Rafa without reservation! I have been at dentists around the world due to an accident I had when I was 11 years old. I had a lot of operations until I was 28 years old, but there were still some things to do on my lower jaw. I was looking for a relatively pain-free and affordable treatment. A dentist in Germany suggested implanting gum from my palate to give my lower jaw more stability. Others from the U.S suggested implants or bridges. All this means destroying additional teeth that are basically still healthy. Dr. Jehova Rafa on the other hand suggested veneers and he corrected four teeth within a week. I can't tell you enough how happy that makes me. Finally, a dentist who's not just seeing a "money-making-machine" in me, but has my best interests in mind! I love the result! It gives me so much confidence and I can finally smile like a beautiful butterfly! If you're looking for a trustworthy dentist, Dr. Jehova Rafa is the way to go!

I am so happy with my new teeth, I just can't stop smilingChristopher, US, 11 09 23

I can't say enough about these folks. On-time, within budget, excellent service and I have the best teeth I could ever ask for!! The cost was very reasonable, the experience was the best it could be and I am so happy with my new teeth, I just can't stop smiling!!! The process was easy, too. Jumped on a plane, and there was a driver waiting for me at the airport (on a Sunday!) who took me to my hotel. Monday I was in the chair, and by Friday I had fantastic teeth. I had lots of time available to explore Costa Rica. All in all, this was a fantastic process, I would recommend Prisma Dental to any one, even my Mom! :)

The Drs did an amazing job getting my smile backJames, US, 30 03 23

Amazing!! And that's an understatement. Everyone from Geovanna who I was in first contact with to Sergio who dropped me off at the airport was top notch professionals and extremely pleasant. The Drs did an amazing job getting my smile back. Without even noticing it I was self-conscious of my smile having used tobacco for 30+ years. They guided me to the best product for me, which was actually cheaper than what we initially agreed on, a sign of an excellent healthcare practice. It was definitely less painful than I thought it would be and did a great job with local anaesthesia, I'm a huge tooth pain wimp. From start to finish could not imagine a better experience. I will be referring my friends, family and patients to use them. I go back in 6 months for the permanent teeth and really looking forward to it. Thanks.
