We Answer Your Most Common Questions About Root Canal Treatment
When is a root canal needed and what are the symptoms?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is performed when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep cavities, fractures, or trauma. Symptoms may include severe pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, gum swelling, and discomfort when chewing. However, some teeth may require root canal treatment even when there is no pain. At W SMILE in Medellín, we provide a thorough evaluation to determine whether this treatment is necessary.
Does root canal treatment hurt, and how long does it take?
Root canal treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia to manage pain during the procedure. You may experience sensitivity or discomfort for a few days afterward. The duration depends on the complexity of the tooth, the number of canals, and the presence of infection. Some treatments can be completed in one appointment, while others require several sessions. At W SMILE, we evaluate each case individually to plan the procedure.

Can an infected tooth be saved with a root canal instead of being extracted?
Yes. One of the main goals of endodontics is to preserve the natural tooth when it has an infection or damage to the dental pulp. The procedure allows for the removal of the affected tissue, cleaning and sealing of the canals, and subsequent restoration of the tooth. At W SMILE, we prioritize preservation when clinically feasible. However, some fractures or severe structural damage may necessitate extraction.
What are the advantages of endodontics with a ZEISS EXTARO 300 microscope?
En W SMILE contamos con el ZEISS EXTARO 300 microscope, una tecnología de alta precisión que, según su configuración óptica, permite al especialista observar las estructuras internas del diente con una ampliación de hasta aproximadamente 30 veces respecto a lo que puede ver a simple vistaIts lighting and magnification system facilitates the identification of hard-to-see canals, allows for the examination of details of dental anatomy, and helps to perform endodontic treatments with greater precision, especially in complex cases.
How much does a root canal cost in Medellín, Colombia?
The price of a root canal in Medellín depends on the tooth requiring treatment, the number of canals, the complexity of the procedure, and whether it's a first root canal or a retreatment. Subsequent restorations, such as a filling or crown, may also be necessary. At W SMILE, we conduct a personalized evaluation to determine the necessary treatment and provide a quote tailored to each individual case.
