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?

The staff was super friendly and everything seemed to be working efficientlyKai, US, 24 10 23

Clear Choice Dental Centers of Costa Rica I was doing research, looking for a dentist for veneers in the near future; I considered Dominican Republic and Columbia as possible locations. In anticipation for a scheduled birthday weekend in Costa Rica, I peeped to see credentials of several dentists on the island. All roads led to Clear Choice Dental Centers the reviews were phenomenal. I was introduced to Gabriel, whom was able to walk me through all the products and services Clear Choice had to offer. His expertise on industry trends, direction and products was on a worldwide level. At this point, I fully understood why it’s called “Clear Choice”. I was met by Clear Choice a few steps off the plane literally! They were waiting the second I got off plane on the jet bridge. Within minutes I passed immigration with my luggage enroute to clinic. The exam was pretty straight forward lasting about 90 minutes. I met Dr Heiner; it’s a really great and professional office. Soon as you are welcomed in, you know you are in good hands. Dr. Heiner really knows his stuff and was incredibly professional and friendly. He was able to describe all the options available to me and what the best course of action. I elected and chose Zirconium Veneers Btw, the music here is ON POINT! It made my cleaning super relaxing and chill it makes the 90 minutes (which sounded like a long time to me at first) go by nicely. On the day(s) of the procedures, the staff was super friendly and everything seemed to be working efficiently. I have to point out the dental assistant professionalism was exceptional. I received Whitening on the bottom and Zirconium Veneers on top. Dr Heiner manage to accomplish this with zero pain, zero worries. and minimum shaving. Overall, I recommend this office if you are in the market . The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient, the doctor were skilled and thorough and the ambiance was A+! I highly recommend seeing him for any dental problems Please: Note from the inception to departure Gabriel was there at every visit, available to 24hrs to answer every question. I was able to do this in a weekend time (Birthday Weekend) and didn’t miss a beat at Jaco Beach.

This was my second visit to this clinic and it was a great experience both timesJudy, Tyrone, GEORGIA, U S AMERICA, 28 05 24

This was my second visit to this clinic and it was a great experience both times. Dr. G is very caring and handled my nervousness with great patience. I had extensive work - root canal, implants, small bridge, tooth rebuilt, and bite adjustment. All without pain then or after. Doctor and Jorge both contacted me after I returned home to ask how I was doing. If you need dental work - contact this office. They'll give you an early estimate before you go - and you'll save hundreds of dollars. (I saved thousands of dollars over what I would pay in the States), and your pain will be minimal or even non-existent.

He's one of the best dentists I've ever experiencedWiebke, Ireland, 08 07 24

If you're ever in need of a fantastic dentist, I highly recommend coming to San Jose, Costa Rica! After losing my front teeth and neighboring tooth in an accident at age 11, I've undergone numerous operations and tried almost every possible dental treatment by age 37. I've had to replace my front teeth every 10 years or so, especially during my younger years when I was still growing. I've been with Dr. Jehoavas Rafa for a couple of years now, and he's the first dentist who not only does a technically great job but also considers aesthetics - which is super rare, believe me! Highly recommend Dr. Jehoavas Rafa for professional and cosmetic treatment - he's one of the best dentists I've ever experienced!!

I had such a grat experience with Dr. Andrea and her entire staff. She was truly concerned about my well being, comfort and satisfaction with every aspect of my treatment. I felt completely relaxed and confident I was in good hands with Dr. Andrea and her assistant Daniela. I have always had a nervous uneasy experience going to the dentist in the past. But have a hole different feeling going to the dentist now. I look forward to seeing her. I love my new smile and I love this place. Truly feels like family. Pura Vida.
