Root Canal Treatment Turkey
Smile Center Turkey
Root canal treatment in Turkey is a highly effective procedure designed to save severely damaged or infected teeth. By carefully removing infected tissue, disinfecting the tooth’s interior, and sealing it, root canal therapy restores the tooth’s health, strength, and function, relieving pain and preventing extraction.
At Smile Center Turkey, our experienced endodontists use advanced techniques and technology to perform root canal procedures gently and effectively, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the treatment. This minimally invasive procedure preserves your natural teeth, restores your oral health, and enables you to smile confidently again.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) is a dental procedure designed to treat severely infected or damaged teeth, preventing the need for extraction. It involves removing inflamed or infected dental pulp (soft tissue inside the tooth), carefully disinfecting and shaping the root canals, and then sealing them thoroughly to protect against future infection.
During the procedure, our skilled endodontists gently access the affected tooth, eliminate infection and damaged tissues, and then fill and seal the space. Often, a crown or filling is placed afterward to restore the tooth’s strength and natural appearance.
Unlike tooth extraction, root canal treatment preserves your natural tooth, maintaining your bite structure and oral health without the need for implants or bridges—making it a preferred and highly effective solution.

Root Canal Treatment Turkey Overview
Treatment Objective
Root canal treatment aims to remove infection or inflammation from inside the tooth, relieve dental pain, and restore the tooth’s strength, functionality, and overall oral health, eliminating the need for extraction.
Procedure Duration
Typically completed in one or two sessions, each lasting around 60–90 minutes. Treatment duration varies based on the complexity and number of root canals involved.
Hospital Stay
Usually no hospitalisation is required; however, a short rest period is recommended after the procedure.
Recommended Stay Duration
We recommend staying in Antalya for approximately 3–5 days to ensure sufficient time for your initial consultation, procedure, and follow-up appointments.
Post-Treatment Potential Symptoms
Some mild sensitivity or slight discomfort in the treated tooth may be experienced for a few days. These symptoms usually resolve quickly and can be managed with standard pain relief.
Estimated Recovery Period
Most patients fully recover within 1 to 2 weeks. Immediate pain relief is typical, and normal eating and daily activities can resume very shortly after the treatment.
Root Canal Treatment Procedure
Root canal treatment typically involves one to two appointments, each lasting approximately 60–90 minutes. The procedure begins with a thorough examination and X-rays to determine the extent of infection and to plan your treatment accurately.
During the procedure, our endodontist gently numbs the affected tooth, carefully removes infected or inflamed dental pulp, and meticulously cleans and disinfects the root canals. After cleaning, the root canals are shaped and sealed with a specialised dental material to prevent future infections.
Following the root canal procedure, the tooth is usually restored with a crown or filling to maintain strength and functionality. The result is a pain-free, healthy tooth that looks and functions just like your natural teeth—preserving your smile without extraction or implants.

Who is suitable for this treatment?
Root canal treatment is ideal for patients experiencing severe toothache, sensitivity, or swelling caused by infected or inflamed tooth pulp. This treatment helps save your natural tooth, prevent further damage, and restore oral health.
You may be a good candidate if you:
Have persistent or severe tooth pain
Experience sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
Notice swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth

Root canal treatment is particularly beneficial for patients aiming to avoid tooth extraction, implants, or dental bridges. It’s suitable for most people, provided the tooth structure remains sufficiently intact for effective restoration.

Healing Process
Following root canal treatment, most patients notice immediate relief from dental pain and discomfort. Normal daily activities can generally be resumed the same or the following day, making recovery relatively swift and comfortable.
Some mild sensitivity or tenderness in the treated tooth and surrounding gums may occur for a few days, but these symptoms typically subside quickly with basic pain relief medication, if necessary.
Your tooth might initially feel slightly different due to inflammation reduction and healing in progress. This sensation usually fades within one to two weeks as your tooth fully recovers.
To support your healing, avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth for a few days, maintain gentle oral hygiene, and follow your dentist’s aftercare recommendations closely.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, your treated tooth will regain full functionality, providing long-lasting oral health and comfort.
Common Post-procedure Reactions – Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a common and routine procedure, and most patients experience only mild temporary symptoms afterward. It’s normal to have mild tenderness, sensitivity, or slight discomfort in the treated area for the first few days, typically subsiding within 3–7 days.
While severe pain or noticeable swelling is uncommon, mild symptoms are easily manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed. Serious discomfort or complications are rare, and any temporary sensitivity generally resolves quickly.
Patients are advised to:
Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on the treated tooth for a few days.
Maintain careful but gentle oral hygiene to prevent irritation.
Use warm saltwater rinses to soothe the gums if recommended by your dentist.
Following your dentist’s instructions and attending any scheduled follow-up appointments will ensure the tooth heals properly, providing long-term functionality and comfort.
F.A.Q.
What is root canal treatment and why is it needed?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to remove infection from the inside of a tooth. It becomes necessary when the pulp (nerve) is inflamed or infected, often due to deep decay, trauma, or a cracked tooth. The treatment helps save the natural tooth and prevent extraction.
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. Thanks to modern techniques and local anaesthesia, the procedure is generally painless and comfortable. Most patients report feeling no more discomfort than they would during a routine filling.
How long does root canal treatment take?
In most cases, root canal treatment can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the condition of the tooth and the complexity of the infection. Your dentist will provide a full assessment before starting.
