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.

I am so happyMarilyn, US, 19 04 24

I am from Canada and whole-mouth dental implants are crazy expensive. Doing my due diligence (pricing, plan and time of completion), (with my dentists and through the dental school)), I found Costa Rica and Turkey were the two top countries for dental implants. Therefore, I randomly sent a request for information on the internet and within no time Dr. URZOLA called me. He was so informative and spoke English so well, I wasn’t long booking an appointment. Still, I had reservations and was hesitant about not knowing Dr. URZOLA and travelling to another country. Remember I had done my due diligence, I knew from my doctors in Canada what I needed to do. Well, after Dr. URZOLA saw my X-ray he reviewed his plan for me and was bang on. On Feb 12, 2024, I had 10 extractions, 2 sinus lifts, 5 implants in the top and 7 in the bottom. It was about a 4-hour procedure. (My dentist in Canada thinks I am crazy to have all this done at once) but it is done! The worst is over! I am so happy I trusted Dr URZOLA, Christina and the staff! Once the procedure was over, there were many follow-up checkups. Christina arranged for my pick up and delivery to the airport as well as hotel accommodations and drivers to their office and back to the hotel. It was hassle-free, and I am so grateful for this. Over the length of time, I met other people who were just like me. In terms of spending a lifetime trying to save my teeth who didn’t want to spend their life dealing with floppy dentures and adhesives? They also were very pleased and confident with Dr URZOLA. What a relief! I too have no reservations. No doubts. I will be returning to Costa Rica and to Dr URZOLA’s office to get two more implants on the top arch and my permanents at the end of June. It will be great to see everyone again. And of course to have my new white permanent teeth! No longer have to deal with dis-coloured, wobbly teeth, numerous dentist appointments, infections and partials. Happy dance! :)

The dentist was very capable and his work was excellentJeff, US, 16 06 23

I had implants done. My teeth were in very poor condition. The cost in the States was very high and I had heard Costa Rica had exceptional dental care at an affordable cost. They did not disappoint. The cost was 1/3 of the cost in the US, including travel and hotel. More important was the quality work and personal service! The dentist was very capable and his work was excellent. My host, Gabriel, was exceptional. Any need I had he was there. That included find medicine for my mother/care giver when she discovered she left her blood pressure meds at home. He even arranged a sight seeing tour for us. I would do it again without hesitation and I highly recommend Clear Choice Costa Rica.

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.

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.

Highly recommend this clinic and plan to return for periodic checkupsValerie, Canada, 27 02 23

I went to this clinic with my husband, who was getting a full set of crowns. His end result was so bright and amazing that I felt embarrassed about the state of my own teeth. I was able to schedule a cleaning with their hygienist, and it was the most thorough cleaning I have ever had. I was also able to have a professional whitening treatment for a fraction of the cost in the states. My husband and I are delighted with our new smiles. We highly recommend this clinic and plan to return for periodic checkups.
