Root canal treatment removes infection inside a tooth to relieve pain and preserve the natural tooth. It is commonly needed when decay, a deep filling, or trauma reaches the nerve, causing inflammation or infection.
At MedMedicals in Istanbul, root canal treatment is planned based on diagnosis, not guesswork. If the tooth can be saved, we treat it. If it cannot, we explain alternatives clearly. You can ask freely about combinations, such as root canal plus a crown, we will confirm the correct sequence for your case.
Root canal treatment may be recommended if you have:
Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Pain when biting or chewing
Swelling, a gum boil, or tenderness near a tooth
A tooth that has darkened after trauma
Deep decay found on X-ray
Pain is not always present. Some infected teeth are silent, which is why imaging matters.
Root canal treatment (per tooth): €130
Important note
Root canal treatment is priced per tooth. The final plan depends on the tooth type (front tooth vs molar), the condition of the tooth, and whether a crown is needed afterward.

Tell us which tooth hurts (if you know) and what symptoms you have. We will advise next steps and confirm whether root canal treatment is likely needed.
To speed up your evaluation, include:
Your symptoms and how long they have been present
Whether pain is triggered by hot, cold, or chewing
Any swelling or gum boil near the tooth
Any recent X-ray or dentist notes (if available)
Your travel window and preferred dates
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth (the pulp), disinfects the canal system, and seals it to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then restored so it can function normally again.
Saving your natural tooth is often preferable to extraction, but only if the tooth can be restored reliably.
A typical root canal plan follows these steps:
We confirm whether the nerve is infected or inflamed and whether the tooth is structurally restorable.
The tooth is numbed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the infected tissue is removed.
The canals are sealed to reduce reinfection risk. A temporary filling may be used depending on your plan.
A final filling or crown is placed depending on how much tooth structure remains. Many back teeth need a crown after root canal because they become more vulnerable to fracture.
Most patients can return to normal daily activity quickly. Mild tenderness when biting can happen for a short time.
Typical guidance:
Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until final restoration is placed
Take prescribed medication if advised
Maintain normal brushing and flossing carefully
Contact the clinic if swelling, fever, or increasing pain develops
Not every tooth needs a crown, but many molars and heavily filled teeth do. A crown protects the tooth from cracking under chewing forces.
If your main goal is long-term durability, the restoration plan matters as much as the root canal itself.
Root canal treatment is common and predictable, but risks include:
Persistent infection requiring retreatment
Tooth fracture if the tooth is not protected properly
Discomfort after treatment that lasts longer than expected
Complex anatomy in some teeth that makes treatment more challenging
This is why treatment quality and proper restoration planning are essential.
Many patients travel to Istanbul for urgent dental care. Root canal treatment is often suitable for short stays when planned correctly.

With proper anesthesia, treatment is usually comfortable. Most patients feel relief because the infection source is treated.
Some teeth can be treated in one visit, others need more. This depends on tooth anatomy and infection severity.
Not always. Antibiotics are used only when clinically indicated. The treatment is the main solution.
Yes, if needed. But the goal is to save the tooth when it can be restored reliably.
