Treatment of pulpitis in Periodontista Johanna Calderón
About the clinic
Pulpitis treatment, commonly known as a root canal, is available at the Periodontista Johanna Calderón clinic in Bogotá, Colombia. This procedure focuses on saving your natural tooth and avoiding the need for an extraction. A team of over 15 doctors provides specialized care in endodontics and periodontics to restore dental health.
When Root Canal Treatment is Necessary
Pulpitis occurs when the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. This condition often stems from deep cavities or dental trauma. Patients may also need this treatment due to tooth erosion, severe bruxism, or complications from previous restorative work. The primary goal is to remove the damaged tissue while keeping the original tooth structure intact.
The Treatment Process
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to help you stay comfortable. A doctor creates an access point in the tooth crown to reach the infected pulp. They remove the damaged tissue and carefully clean the root canals. After shaping the canals, the dentist seals them with a specialized material. A permanent crown is typically placed afterward to protect the tooth from future fractures. The entire process takes between 1 and 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the tooth.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients experience mild tenderness for a few days after the procedure. This is a normal part of the healing process and usually resolves quickly. Following the specialist's advice on oral hygiene helps the treated tooth last for many years. Because the natural tooth remains in place, it prevents surrounding teeth from shifting. You can request a consultation at Periodontista Johanna Calderón to discuss your dental health through the Bookimed platform.

How are we doing?
Periodontista Johanna Calderón: more details about the clinic
Periodontista Johanna Calderón is a private dental clinic in Bogotá, Colombia. It operates as a multi-specialty dental care network focused on periodontics, restorative care, and dental aesthetics. A team of 17 doctors provides specialized treatments across all departments. The practice is located within the Dalí Medical Center.
Advanced Implantology and Periodontics
The clinic specializes in strategic dental implants using cortical anchorage. This protocol allows immediate loading of fixed teeth. Select patients receive their fixed prosthesis within 24 to 72 hours. The method avoids bone grafts and sinus lifts. Instead, it relies on the patient's existing cortical bone for support.
The specialists also perform several other periodontal procedures:
- Curettage for deep gum tissue cleaning
- Scaling and root planing to treat periodontitis
- Oral surgery for tooth extractions
- Bone regeneration using iPRF membranes
Dr. Johanna Calderón leads the department as a specialist periodontist. The clinical team includes experts in endodontics and oral rehabilitation. Surgeons use Straumann Dental Implants for conventional and All-on-4 approaches. For full-arch cases, the team typically plans 8 to 12 implants per jaw. The final count depends on biomechanical demands and jaw size.
Dental Aesthetics and Restorative Care
Smile design services focus on both function and appearance. The clinic offers Hollywood Smile and ceramic design options. Specialists use digital mock-up planning to preview aesthetic results.
Patients can also choose from multiple teeth whitening methods. Laser Whitening is the fastest option available. LED whitening offers an alternative for gel activation.
Restorative care includes root canal treatments to save infected teeth. The endodontic team removes inflamed pulp and seals the cavity.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technologies
Accurate planning begins with Cone Beam CT Scans for 3D measurements. These scans help specialists analyze anchorage points for implants. The clinic also uses panoramic and periapical X-rays for orientation.
Digital dentistry tools include intraoral scanners for precise dental impressions. For recovery, the team uses low-level laser therapy (LLLT). This helps tissues heal after surgery. Every treatment plan considers the patient's bite, tissue condition, and medical history.
International Patient Support
The clinic coordinates care for patients traveling from abroad. Support staff assist with clinical itinerary planning and pre-travel guidance. Doctors offer video consultations to review medical histories and scans.
International travelers must confirm their schedule before booking non-refundable travel. This is because prosthetic laboratory steps require specific time blocks. Follow-up care includes remote check-ins through photographs and digital communication. Patients receive guidance on interdental cleaning aids and night guards.
