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 delighted with the resultslance, US, 05 08 25

After struggling for many years with broken teeth and an exorbitant estimate from American dentists, I came across Urzola Dental in Costa Rica. I was able to talk directly with Dr Urzola and was impressed that he recommended a very reasonable course of action at a fraction of the U.S. cost. I was able to fly there to do the work and take a vacation for much less than the US price. Dr Urzola is very talented and personable, as well as his lovely wife, who helped with all the arrangements and accommodations. The work was nearly painless. I am delighted with the results. I can finally eat steak again!

I am absolutely pleased with my entire experience thereScott, Canada, 02 03 23

The entire staff at Costa Rica Dental Lab could not have been more professional and welcoming. From the attentive and low key driver Sergio to the brilliant senior lab technician Francisco Geovanna has this place running like clockwork. Geovanna will most likely be you Main contact and she is a delight. Dr Cesar has extremely modern and sophisticated equipment in this office. I originally called to talk about all on fours but after consulting with Dr Cesar but they came up with a much cheaper alternative for me. I am absolutely pleased with my entire experience there. I highly recommend this full service clinic and you should do yourself a favor and book an appointment with them right away you won’t be disappointed.

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!
