Treatment of caries in SMILE360
About the clinic
Root canal therapy at SMILE360 in Medellín, Colombia, provides a way to save natural teeth damaged by deep caries. The clinic uses painless techniques to treat internal infections and inflammation. Expert care is led by Dr. Santiago Álvarez, who founded the facility to focus on saving teeth that might otherwise require extraction.
Saving Teeth from Caries
Deep tooth decay often reaches the inner pulp, causing pain and infection. SMILE360 focuses on endodontic treatment to stop this process. The procedure removes the infected tissue while keeping your natural tooth structure intact. This approach helps maintain your bite and jaw health without needing artificial implants. Patients undergo a personalized diagnostic assessment before the treatment starts. This step helps the dental team map out the infection and choose the right approach for your case.
