A root canal treatment is one of the most demanded treatments in today’s dental practice. That’s why as dentists in Tijuana, we work with one of the most prepared specialists in Root Canal.
Contrary to popular belief, an endodontic therapy, or better known as root canal treatment, does not cause pain or discomfort. In fact, it alleviates pain.
Its main objective is to preserve the patient’s original teeth, as long as this is possible; an Endodontic treatment always attempts to save the teeth before resorting to a dental bridge or dental implant.

What is a Root Canal
A root canal consists of the tooth pulp extraction, which is a small tissue located in the center of the tooth.
Once the damaged pulp is removed, the remaining space is cleaned, reshaped, and filled. This seals the root canal procedure. Years ago, teeth with diseased or injured pulps had no other option but to be extracted.
Teeth that are restored by this procedure can last for several years if they receive proper care.
Since treated teeth don’t have a natural structure that has kept them alive and hydrated since they first came out, they become more fragile and prone to fracture.
This is always important to consider when deciding to place a tooth crown instead of a regular filling after root canal treatment in Tijuana.
With our flow and digital system, we have the latest technology to optimize the time for the development of dental rehabilitations up to 40%.

Root Canal Procedure
Depending on the situation, the treatment consists of several steps to be performed during one or more appointments to the dentist. These steps are:
- First, a cavity access must be created, depending on if the treated tooth is a molar, premolar, anterior, or previously restored with a crown. This access, in most cases, is towards the back or on the occlusal surface area.
- Then the diseased pulp is removed; using several instruments and equipment such as an endodontic microscope, the root canal is cleaned and shaped before we proceed to fill.
- For treatments that require more than one visit due to severe infection or other clinical factors, the cavity access will be restored with a temporary filling or crown to protect the tooth until the next visit which is normally programmed a week after.
- On the next visit, temporary material is removed, and we proceed to fill permanently with a material that prevents bacteria from re-entering the root canals. This step involves inserting a material called gutta-percha in each of the canals and seal them in place with cement.
- The last step of this procedure is to place a dental crown over the tooth to restore its shape and natural appearance.

What Patients Say
Had a great experience. Went in to have 3rd molars extracted. Had them both out in about 10 minutes! Felt very comfortable there. They have underground parking, so you don’t have to leave your car on the street. The price was great (compared to U.S. costs). They were very professional. I’ll be back soon for the other side!

Again I have to say the best place for dental work. Amazing staff, dentists, and assistants. I’m a huge chicken when it come to dental work. Not once did I feel uneasy or even pain. I had 8 lower teeth pulled. Go back in November for implants.
