What is an endodontist?
An endodontist is a dental specialist trained in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the inside of the tooth—particularly the nerve and surrounding tissues. Their most recognized procedure is the root canal treatment, which allows teeth to be saved when they would otherwise need to be extracted. Endodontists also treat infections, abscesses, internal fractures, and trauma-related injuries.
Why is it important to see an endodontic specialist?
Endodontic procedures require precision, advanced technology, and extensive training. A poorly performed root canal can lead to persistent infections, root fractures, or even tooth loss. Visiting a certified endodontist ensures an accurate diagnosis, a more predictable procedure, and faster recovery. When done properly, endodontic treatment preserves the natural tooth structure and prevents long-term complications.
Clínica Viena: Advanced Endodontics with a Gentle, Conservative Approach
At Clínica Viena, our endodontists use state-of-the-art technology such as digital apex locators, rotary systems, and digital radiography to provide safe, accurate, and long-lasting root canal treatments. We manage everything from emergency pain cases to complex retreatments, always with empathy, scientific precision, and a focus on preserving your natural teeth without fear or unnecessary discomfort.
Endodontic Treatments We Offer
Our endodontists specialize in saving teeth affected by deep infections, trauma, or chronic sensitivity. We use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to preserve as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.
Advanced Diagnosis of Chronic Dental Pain
We identify the source of persistent pain using clinical tests and digital imaging. Our specialists differentiate between pulpal, periodontal, joint, or muscular origins to provide the right treatment.
Root Canal Therapy (Primary Endodontic Treatment)
The most common procedure to treat deep cavities, pulpitis, or necrotic teeth. We clean and seal the root canals using minimally invasive techniques and digital precision tools.
Root Canal Retreatment
Recommended when a previous treatment has failed or presents symptoms. Old filling material is removed, the canals are disinfected again, and a more effective seal is applied to preserve the tooth.
Treatment of Abscesses and Chronic Infections
We eliminate deep infections that cause intense pain, swelling, or fistula formation. Root canal therapy stops the spread of infection and helps prevent tooth loss.
Management of Dental Trauma
We treat fractures, displacements, and exposed roots due to impact. The endodontist evaluates the tooth’s viability and applies the appropriate treatment to restore functionality.
Internal Bleaching of Darkened Teeth
A technique used for teeth that have discolored after root canal therapy. A whitening agent is placed inside the tooth to restore its natural color without compromising its structure.
Post-Endodontic Monitoring and Maintenance
We follow up with X-rays and clinical evaluations to ensure proper healing. When needed, we recommend definitive restorations such as crowns to protect the tooth long-term.
Step-by-Step Root Canal Process at Clínica Viena
Preserving what matters most: your natural teeth
At Clínica Viena, we understand that visiting the endodontist often means you’re in pain or worried about losing a tooth. That’s why our approach combines precise diagnostics, advanced technology, and compassionate care—to help you preserve your teeth safely, comfortably, and with long-lasting results.
1. Clinical Evaluation with Immediate Diagnosis
During your first visit, we perform a thorough examination of the affected tooth. We assess your symptoms, take digital X-rays, and, if needed, perform a 3D scan. You’ll receive a clear diagnosis during the same appointment, and in most cases, we begin treatment right away to stop the infection from progressing.
2. Same-Day Treatment (When Viable)
Thanks to our digital endodontic system—including rotary instruments, apex locators, and electronic measurements—the procedure is faster, more precise, and less invasive. This allows us to clean, disinfect, and seal the canal in a single session in many cases, reducing discomfort and speeding up your recovery.
3. Immediate Biomimetic Restoration
When conditions allow, we perform a same-day biomimetic restoration to reinforce the treated tooth and prevent future leaks or fractures. This restores both function and aesthetics in a single visit, avoiding unnecessary appointments and increasing the long-term success of the treatment.
4. Post-Endodontic Follow-Up and Clinical Check
After your treatment, we schedule a follow-up appointment to verify tissue healing, the integrity of the restoration, and ensure you’re symptom-free. If the tooth needs additional support such as a crown, we plan it at this stage.
Frequently Asked Questions About Endodontists
What is an endodontist and what do they specialize in?
An endodontist is a dentist who has completed advanced training in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the tooth’s nerve (pulp) and surrounding tissues. They are highly skilled in performing root canals, retreatments, managing abscesses, and treating dental trauma—all with the goal of preserving natural teeth for as long as possible.
Why should I see an endodontist instead of a general dentist for a root canal?
What are the signs that I should see an endodontist?
Does treatment with an endodontist hurt?
Modern root canal treatments are performed under local anesthesia and with rotary instruments that make the procedure faster and more comfortable. In many cases, the treatment relieves acute pain. With proper patient care and clear communication, the experience is often much easier than people expect.
What training does an endodontist need?
After earning their dental degree, an endodontist must complete a 2–3 year specialty program in endodontics. This training covers pain diagnosis, complex dental anatomy, digital instrumentation, retreatment techniques, minimally invasive approaches, and emergency management for pulp and periapical conditions.
