If you're experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot and cold, it could indicate an infected tooth requiring root canal treatment. Dental21 offers expert care in treating such infections, which won't heal on their own. Our dentists will guide you through the process, ensuring a comfortable experience. Root canal treatment can help to preserve - and thus save - a severely infected tooth. This saves costs, pain, and nerves. And the earlier and more professionally it is carried out, the better.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure designed to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). This treatment becomes necessary when the dental pulp inside your tooth, made up of nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected through decay or injury. Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to pain, swelling, and even damage to the bone structure of the jaw.
At Dental21, we recommend considering root canal treatment if you experience symptoms such as severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums, or a recurring pimple on the gums. Our highly skilled dental professionals use advanced techniques to remove the infection, carefully clean and shape the inside of the tooth, and then fill and seal the space to prevent any further infection. This treatment not only relieves pain but also saves the tooth from needing to be extracted.

Precision and Innovation: Elevating Dental Care
At Dental21, we pride ourselves on utilizing only the finest materials and equipment, ensuring top-tier dental care. Our staff is extensively trained, bringing expert knowledge and skills to every treatment we provide.
Mechanical root canal preparation
Choose the most modern treatment at Dental21 with our mechanical root canal preparation. Root canal treatments are a challenge for patients and dentists alike. The more precise and gentle the procedure can be carried out, the better. The mechanical method has a particularly high success rate because highly flexible titanium file systems are used. This allows the channels to be prepared so that even complicated shapes can be cleaned perfectly. Every procedure can be carried out quickly and with great precision and safety. In this way we can make your treatment as pleasant and comfortable as possible for you.
Digital Volume Tomography (DVT)
DVT is a game-changer in dental care, offering 3D images for precise diagnostics. It's essential for planning intricate treatments like implants and orthodontics. DVT outperforms CT scans by reducing radiation and speeding up the process, enhancing patient safety and comfort. This advanced imaging technology is key for accurate treatment plans.
Precision Root Care with Electric Length Measuring
Redefine your dental experience with Dental21's Electric Root Length Measuring Device, your key to overcoming root canal challenges. Root canal treatments, often lengthy and discomforting, are transformed with this advanced tool. It provides precise root canal measurements, surpassing the limitations of traditional two-dimensional x-rays. By determining the exact length of the root canal, our device not only enhances treatment accuracy but also streamlines the process, making each step more efficient and comfortable. Trust Dental21 to elevate your dental care with pinpoint accuracy for better outcomes and a smoother patient experience.

Frequently asked questions

Meistens kommen Patienten in die Praxis mit pochenden Zahnschmerzen, welche auf einen entzündeten Zahnnerv hindeuten. Durch eine genaue Diagnostik finden wir dann die Ursache heraus und schauen, ob eine Wurzelbehandlung möglich und nötig ist. Grundsätzlich sind dann mehrere Schritte notwendig: 1. Da eine Wurzelbehandlung sehr schmerzhaft sein kann, wird in der Regel zuerst eine lokale Betäubung gegeben. Auf Wunsch können auch alternative Betäubungen wie z. B. eine Lachgassedierung ausgewählt werden. Sprechen Sie hierzu bitte Ihren behandelnden Arzt direkt an. 2. Im nächsten Schritt öffnet der Zahnarzt den Zahn und befreit die Wurzelkanäle von entzündeten oder abgestorbenen Gewebe. 3. Dann wird der gereinigte Zahn desinfiziert, um sicherzugehen, dass alle Bakterien und Keime beseitigt worden sind. 4. Im letzten Schritt versiegelt der Zahnarzt die Kanäle mit speziellem Füllmaterial und verschließt den Zahn, damit sich keine neuen Bakterien ins Zahninnere ansammeln können.
Wie lange dauert eine Wurzelbehandlung?
Eine Sitzung dauert etwa 60 Minuten. In komplizierten Fällen kann die Behandlung jedoch auch länger dauern. Die Behandlungsdauer hängt vom individuellen Fall, der Krümmung der Zahnwurzeln sowie der Grad der Erkrankung ab. Aufgrund einer ausführlichen Vorbesprechung kann die Behandlung bei Neupatienten ebenfalls etwas länger dauern.
Wann ist die Zahnwurzelbehandlung notwendig?
Eine Zahnwurzelbehandlung ist notwendig, wenn sich der Zahnnerv, also das Innere des Zahnes auch Pulpa genannt, bakteriell entzündet hat oder aber der Nerv bereits abgestorben ist. Außerdem kann es nach Unfällen, also wenn Zähne abbrechen, zu einer Wurzelbehandlung mit anschließendem Zahnersatz kommen. Damit wird sichergestellt, dass der eigentlich gesunde Zahn im Kiefer bleiben kann.
Ist eine Wurzelbehandlung schmerzhaft?
Die Wurzelbehandlung wird im Regelfall durch schmerzunterdrückende Hilfsmittel wie z.B. einer lokalen Betäubung durchgeführt. Der eigentliche Schmerz entsteht nicht durch die Wurzelbehandlung selbst, sondern durch den schmerzenden Zahn. Nur mit Hilfe einer Behandlung durch den Zahnarzt können sie den Schmerz dauerhaft lösen und den Zahn erhalten.
