Root canal treatment at the Dr. Cristhian Figueroa clinic in Bucaramanga, Colombia, helps patients save their natural teeth from extraction. The clinic maintains a perfect 5.0 rating from 35+ reviews and holds accreditation from the Colombian National Registry for dental surgeons. This endodontic therapy removes infected pulp to stop pain and restore oral health.
Advanced Endodontic Methods
The clinic uses rotary instrumentation to make the procedure faster and more predictable. An electronic apex locator helps the dentist measure the root canal length with high precision. During the process, the dentist uses magnification tools like loupes or a microscope to see tiny details inside the tooth. An absolute rubber dam stays in place to keep the area dry and free from bacteria.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients finish their treatment in 1 or 2 sessions. Each visit lasts between 60 and 120 minutes. Front teeth are usually simpler to treat, while molars take more time due to their complex root systems. After the cleaning, most molars need a crown to prevent the tooth from fracturing in the future. The procedure has a high success rate of 85% to 95% over a 10-year period.
Recovery and Indications
This therapy is necessary for deep cavities that reach the nerve or for teeth with abscesses. You might need this if you have intense pain, tooth discoloration, or sensitivity to heat and cold. After the session, you may feel mild discomfort for 2 to 3 days. This is easily managed with common pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. The main goal of this conservative approach is to avoid losing the natural tooth.
