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?

Alternatives to root canal procedures include extractions and pulp capping procedures.

The staff was very friendly and helpfulAlejandro, Costa Rica, 27 11 23

I just finished my treatment at Dr. Urzola's office. I can genuinely share that Dr Urzola and his entire staff did an amazing job! When I first arrived at Dr Urzola's office five months ago, my mouth was full of deteriorated teeth. I had bad breath (due to the underlying infection that was going on in my mouth). I was very concerned that this chronic dental infection could potentially affect my heart and knew that time was of the essence to find a solution to my serious dental problem. Having spent much time in Costa Rica, I was familiar with the best dental implant clinics in the country. I chose Dr Urzola as my first option due to a strong recommendation from a close friend who lives and works in Costa Rica. When I first arrived in Dr Urzola's office, I found the facility impeccably clean and filled with the latest modern dental equipment. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised that both Dr Urzola and his staff are completely fluent in English. I decided right there and then to undergo a full evaluation and assessment. Based on the panoramic digital radiographic study, it was clear that there was one part of my jaw that where the bone was not as thick as the rest. I was concerned as to whether or not I was going to need a bone graft before I could be a good candidate for dental implants. Based on Dr Urzola's professional opinion, he was able to adapt to my special circumstance via a surgical workaround which he performed. Thanks to Dr Urzola's expertise, I did not have to have additional bone grafted into my jaw! Thankfully, I was a candidate for full upper and lower implants. They made me an acceptable proposal, which was a good value; far more reasonable than the same service up in the States and very competitive within Costa Rica. I proceeded with the removal and replacement of all of my teeth. The removal of my old teeth and preparation for my temporary provisional teeth was done on the first visit. I had my provisional teeth within a few days of the removal of my deteriorated teeth. All my friends said that I immediately looked terrific and many years younger. I had my permanent beautiful precision-crafted teeth within five months of my initial visit. They are absolutely gorgeous and, best of all, my brand new "pearly whites" gave me back my radiant smile! The level of personal and professional care from Dr Urzola and his staff was solid six-star! If you are considering having implants, I know that there are many options as to where to choose. I have been a medical professional for over forty years. As such, I have high standards. I know excellent and competent service when I see and experience it for myself. I give Dr Urzola and his staff my highest recommendation and appreciation for their services!!

He got back to me within a minute Great communication overallJanene, US, 28 10 24

Hi, my name is Janene. I just wanted to share my experience with Clear Choice. I have always been scared and nervous just thinking about going to the dentist. I even waited over 10 years to see a dentist at all. REALLY BAD IDEA! Bye that time I was in so much pain and my teeth were just braking off one by one. So I needed to do a full mouth registration. I’m from California and don’t have great health insurance and with all of the damage that had been done to my teeth, they told me that I had to get dentures as I am only 41 years old that did not seem to be an option for me so I looked abroad was very scared to go out of the country but Gabriel made it very pleasant easy and took care of everything anytime I called. He got back to me within a minute Great communication overall wonderful as a person the doctor was great very patient with me if I ever needed anything he was right on it as well. Anything that I needed. If you are looking into it, I would definitely call Gabriel and he will arrange everything.

A dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of the neighbouring teeth.

I'm whole again and it feels so natural, like my teeth looked when I was a young manBrandon, US, 11 09 24

I recently travelled to Costa Rica to meet an unusual man, whom I came to admire, a dentist with integrity , talent vision , knowledge, experience and a passion to achieve exellence in every form of dentistry he excels in. I researched many dental clinics in several countries.I was in contact,regularly, with at least seven dentists and dental coordinators, listening, learning basic terminology etc. I chose Costa Rica Dental Clinic. I was impressed from the very beginning, but as my research progressed Dr. Gadea and his highly trained and efficient staff were like a beacon in the in the fog. I had a full mouth of zirconia crowns custom fit and adheard to my existing teeth with precision accuracy. I'm whole again and it feels so natural, like my teeth looked when I was a young man full himself with large healthy teeth until I ground them down by grinding them all day and in my sleep, often grinding my teeth to comfort me to sleep. Dr Gadea and his staff exude calm excellence while shining like the pros they are. I followed my mind and my heart and Im ecstatic with my self about that as well as the big beautiful super human set of teeth.

The office is well equipped and very cleanCathy, Costa Rica, 20 04 23

Seven of my family members and a few coworkers have gone to Dr Calvo for dentistry work. So while my sister was travelling to have work done that she was quoted $31,000 in the USA, I decided to go with her and have some minor work done. I was so amazed how smooth the whole process is. From the second you land at the airport and Olger picks you up, through the initial check-up by Dr Calvo and the estimate to go the work to the work being done for a fraction of the cost of US dentist. Dr Calvo and his staff are very professional, speak fluent English explains everything he can do for you and the price. While having the work done they are caring and gentle. My sisters total price was $3400 compared to the $31,000 estimate she received in the USA. She didn’t need as much as she was told by the US dentist but did receive four root canals and a bridge with six teeth, as well as a deep cleaning. All done within two visits/ two days. Surprisingly she had NO PAIN whatsoever. I just had a deep cleaning, three silver/mercury fillings I got when I was a child replaced, and a whitening treatment and paid right at $500 No pain and now I have the most shiniest teeth that I have had in years. The office is well equipped and very clean. The shopping centre is very nice and clean At the end of the shopping center is a very nice grocery store that has everything you could possibly need. So happy I finally decided to come to see for myself how wonderful Dr Calvo and Olger are. Absolutely the BEST.

The Drs did an amazing job getting my smile backJames, US, 30 03 23

Amazing!! And that's an understatement. Everyone from Geovanna who I was in first contact with to Sergio who dropped me off at the airport was top notch professionals and extremely pleasant. The Drs did an amazing job getting my smile back. Without even noticing it I was self-conscious of my smile having used tobacco for 30+ years. They guided me to the best product for me, which was actually cheaper than what we initially agreed on, a sign of an excellent healthcare practice. It was definitely less painful than I thought it would be and did a great job with local anaesthesia, I'm a huge tooth pain wimp. From start to finish could not imagine a better experience. I will be referring my friends, family and patients to use them. I go back in 6 months for the permanent teeth and really looking forward to it. Thanks.
