Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment)

Thanks to advanced local anesthesia (needles) in today's modern dentistry, root canal treatment is a completely painless procedure. The only thing the patient will feel is the vibrations of a standard filling procedure.

Yes, because the blood vessels and nerves inside it are removed, the tooth loses its vitality and does not feel hot/cold sensitivity. However, since it continues to hold onto the surrounding jawbone and connective tissue, it healthily performs its chewing function for many years.

A tooth that has lost its vitality becomes more fragile over time. For this reason, especially in posterior chewing teeth, instead of a standard filling over the tooth after a root canal treatment, having a "Porcelain/Zirconium Crown" that completely envelops the tooth significantly extends the life of the tooth.
