Root Canal Treatment in Turkey by Specialist Endodontists

We complete the full treatment during one visit to Turkey. While multiple appointments may be needed, they’re all planned within your stay, so there’s no need for return travel.

 

Who Needs a Root Canal?

 

Root canal treatment is needed when the inside of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This can happen due to deep decay, trauma, cracks, or repeated dental procedures. If not treated, the infection can spread and lead to tooth loss or other complications.

 

Common signs include:

•    Persistent pain when chewing or biting
•    Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
•    Swollen or tender gums near the tooth
•    A tooth that has darkened in colour
•    A bad taste in the mouth or visible pus

Early diagnosis can prevent more serious problems. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, an endodontic consultation is recommended.

 

Why Specialist Care Matters

 

While general dentists can carry out root canals, endodontists are specialists with advanced training focused on the inside of the tooth. They use specialised tools and techniques to treat complex cases with higher precision and better results.

At our VIP Dental Clinics, root canal and re-root canal treatments are only carried out by endodontists. This ensures that every patient receives specialist care, even in cases that involve difficult anatomy or failed treatments from elsewhere.

 

What to Expect

 

Your treatment begins with a digital scan to assess the tooth and determine the number of root canals. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we use local anaesthetic delivered through a computer-controlled system (CCLAD) to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

The infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, and then sealed with a biocompatible material. Depending on the tooth and how much structure is left, we will place either a white composite filling or a zirconium crown to restore strength and function.

Treatment is completed within one visit to Turkey. If the case is more complex, multiple appointments will be scheduled during your stay.

 

Re-Root Canal Treatment

 

In some cases, a previously treated tooth becomes reinfected. This can happen if a canal was missed, the tooth wasn’t properly sealed, or new decay has developed. When this occurs, a re-root canal treatment is needed.

Our endodontists are experienced in identifying and treating these cases using surgical microscopes and advanced diagnostic imaging. Re-treatment can often save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted or replaced.

 

Technology and Techniques

 

We use modern dental equipment to improve comfort, accuracy, and success rates:

•    Digital X-rays and panoramic scans
•    Apex locators to measure canal length precisely
•    Surgical microscopes for detailed canal work
•    Computer-controlled local anaesthesia delivery (CCLAD)
•    These tools help us achieve the best possible outcome for each patient.

 

Root Canal Pricing

 

Our pricing is transparent and includes everything from diagnostics to materials. The final cost depends on the number of canals and the type of restoration required.

 

Treatment	Standard Price	Cash/Card Price (10% Off)
Root Canal (per canal)	£89	£80
Re-Root Canal (per canal)	£250	£225
White Composite Filling	£79	£71
Zirconium Crown	£219	£197

 

This includes consultation, digital imaging, anaesthesia, specialist time, sterilised instruments, and materials. There are no hidden charges.

The number of canals depends on the tooth:

•    Front teeth usually have 1 canal
•    Premolars may have 2
•    Molars often have 3 or 4

A scan during your initial consultation will confirm this.

 

Aftercare and Recovery

 

After treatment, it’s normal to feel mild tenderness for a few days. This is usually short-lived and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed.

To protect the tooth during healing:

•    Avoid chewing on the treated side until the final filling or crown is placed
•    Brush and floss daily
•    Attend regular hygiene appointments
•    With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last as long as a healthy, untreated one.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Is root canal treatment painful?

No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and most patients say it feels no different from a routine filling.

 

How long does treatment take?

We plan all appointments to take place during one visit to Turkey. In most cases, the root canal itself is completed in a single session.

 

Will I need a crown?

This depends on how much of the tooth remains. Molars and re-treated teeth are more likely to need a crown for long-term protection.

 

Is re-root treatment successful?

Yes, especially when carried out by a specialist using modern techniques and imaging. It’s often possible to save a previously failed tooth.

 

Is the clinic safe and regulated?

Yes. Our clinics are fully licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, and we follow strict protocols for hygiene, sterilisation, and patient safety.
