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.

I can smile againGary, US, 18 06 24

I own a small company (just me) in the Natural Foods/products industry. I do a lot of trade shows and my appearance is important.in recent years I have had problems with my teeth and had a partial that was slipping when I would talk. The cost of fixing this in the US was astronomical. After a friend recommended coming to Costa Rica for Dental work, I found Urzola Dentistry. I had been quoted over $100,000 for the work I needed here in Kentucky. It was a fraction of that in Costa Rica. I have made 4 trips, have 6 implants with all new teeth in the top of my mouth and 4 implants with all new teeth in the lower. I have one visit left to finish the lower but I could not be happier! I get tons of complements on how good my teeth look and I am no longer showering people I am talking to when my partial would slip! I can smile again! Dr Urzola is the best! The facility is first rate, the staff is wonderful, they pick you up at the airport and have a special rate at the nearby Aloft hotel! This is by far the best decision and the best money I have spent! And by the way, it definitely did not suck being in Costa Rica!

This was my second visit to this clinic and it was a great experience both timesJudy, Tyrone, GEORGIA, U S AMERICA, 28 05 24

This was my second visit to this clinic and it was a great experience both times. Dr. G is very caring and handled my nervousness with great patience. I had extensive work - root canal, implants, small bridge, tooth rebuilt, and bite adjustment. All without pain then or after. Doctor and Jorge both contacted me after I returned home to ask how I was doing. If you need dental work - contact this office. They'll give you an early estimate before you go - and you'll save hundreds of dollars. (I saved thousands of dollars over what I would pay in the States), and your pain will be minimal or even non-existent.

This is the most natural, new and healthy way to replace lost teeth.The dental implants are made of titanium because it doesn’t reject tissues and fits perfectly with the bone.

He's one of the best dentists I've ever experiencedWiebke, Ireland, 08 07 24

If you're ever in need of a fantastic dentist, I highly recommend coming to San Jose, Costa Rica! After losing my front teeth and neighboring tooth in an accident at age 11, I've undergone numerous operations and tried almost every possible dental treatment by age 37. I've had to replace my front teeth every 10 years or so, especially during my younger years when I was still growing. I've been with Dr. Jehoavas Rafa for a couple of years now, and he's the first dentist who not only does a technically great job but also considers aesthetics - which is super rare, believe me! Highly recommend Dr. Jehoavas Rafa for professional and cosmetic treatment - he's one of the best dentists I've ever experienced!!

Root Canals $100 - $300
This treatment is performed by Dr Esteban Ulate or his wife Dra. Bianca Amaya is a highly trained root canal specialist. Root canal therapy is required when a tooth has an infection or is in constant pain, also can be performed to help to recover the height of the tooth for a crown preparation.
Complex Root Canal $100 - $300
Anything is complex when you have the right staff in your office. We have 2 highly trained root canal specialist and it is very unlikely that both of them cant solve a situation in a perfect way. So I really recommend to choose our clinic because 2 brains thinks better than 1.

I am very happy with all the work doneJiro, US, 20 10 23

From start to finish my experience with Costa Rica Dental Clinic Lab was wonderful! I was in need of a root canal and crown and the cost where I reside in the US was very high. My wife and I did some research and discovered CRDCL. I spoke with Geovanna about my situation and she was able to set appointments with the doctors despite my somewhat constrictive time constraints. I am very happy with all the work done. The root canal was successful and the crown fits perfectly with my other teeth. In addition, I was able to fill another cavity and get a deep cleaning with the hygienist. I love the flexibility and professionalism of all the staff. Everyone was super nice. Including all travel, accomodations and food the total cost came to a third of the price here in the US.
