Root Canals In Cebu
What is it?
When our teeth become damaged by decay or from other issues and a cavity is formed, a dental filling may become necessary to prevent further issues. But if a cavity has gotten to the point that you feel persistent pain where it is, then the cavity has reached a nerve and will require a root canal or a complete tooth extraction to address the issue.
A root canal is an endodontic dental procedure that involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp inside a tooth and then filling and sealing the space.
The process
The process of getting a root canal at our clinic in Talisay, Cebu may be completed in as little as two visits to our clinic.
In general, here’s what you can expect:
During your consultation: Our dentist will examine your teeth and determine the suitability of a root canal. If a tooth is severely decayed to the point where the prognosis is poor, you may not be suitable for a root canal. In such cases, you may require a complete tooth extraction to avoid future complications.
Recovery time
Many people are generally fully recovered within 5-10 days from their root canal treatment at our clinic in Talisay, Cebu.
But this range can vary from person to person as our bodies are all different. Some especially quick-to-recover patients may be perfectly fine in as little as 3-5 days.
How much does it cost?
The answer depends on several factors, such as:
- The location and condition of the tooth. A root canal for a front tooth (incisor or canine) is usually cheaper than a root canal for a back tooth (premolar or molar) because front teeth have fewer roots and canals than back teeth. A root canal for a tooth that is severely infected or difficult to access may also cost more than a root canal for a tooth that is in decent condition.
- The type and number of visits required. A root canal may be done in one or more visits, depending on the extent of work required.
Based on the mentioned factors, a root canal can range from ₱5,000-15,000 ($90-260) or more. But keep in mind that the actual cost may be very different based on your case.
A root canal may seem unnecessary and scary, but it is definitely worth it in the long run. A root canal can save your natural tooth from extraction, preserve your oral health, improve your smile, and enhance your quality of life.
