Root Canal Treatment in Turkey
Root canal treatment clears infection from inside a tooth, relieves pain, and saves the natural tooth from extraction. Unlike cosmetic treatments, this is a restorative procedure focused on keeping your own tooth healthy — often followed by a crown to protect it.
At GD Smile Studio in Istanbul, root canals use modern anaesthesia and rotary techniques for a comfortable, pain-free experience, for UK and European patients, with savings of up to 70% versus the UK.
What is root canal treatment?
A root canal is needed when the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or inflamed, due to deep decay, a crack, trauma or previous dental work. The treatment removes the infected tissue, disinfects and seals the canal, and restores the tooth — usually with a filling or a crown.
A root canal saves your own tooth. If a tooth can’t be saved, the alternative is replacement with a dental implant; a treated tooth is often capped with a crown.
