Before & After
Root Canal Treatment at Mete Dental Clinic is the Safe Way to Protect Your Dental Health
Root canal treatment is a treatment method applied when the pulp tissue located inside the tooth and providing vitality to the tooth is infected or damaged. This treatment aims to eliminate the infection by protecting the tooth and maintain the function of the tooth instead of extracting it. Mete Dental Clinic successfully applies root canal treatment with its expert physician staff and modern technologies.
Steps of Root Canal Treatment
Diagnosis and Planning
The first step in root canal treatment at Mete Dental Clinic is accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The dentist performs a detailed examination and takes x-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and determine the extent of the infection. At this stage, the size and shape of the root canals of the tooth are determined, which is important to ensure the success of the treatment. Treatment planning is done carefully, taking into account the patient’s general health and the structural integrity of the tooth.
2. Anesthesia and Pain Management
Local anesthesia is applied to ensure patient comfort and pain during treatment. At Mete Dental Clinic , the tooth and surrounding tissues are numbed with local anesthesia applied to the gum before the procedure. In this way, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during treatment. The clinic uses modern anesthesia techniques to ensure that patients are comfortable both during and after treatment.
3. Opening the Tooth and Entering the Pulp Chamber
The next step in root canal treatment is to access the pulp chamber by opening a small opening on the top of the tooth. At Mete Dental Clinic , this procedure is performed using minimally invasive techniques, thus preserving the natural structure of the tooth and minimizing the aesthetic concerns of the patients.
4. Pulp Tissue Cleaning and Root Canal Shaping
The infected or damaged pulp tissue inside the tooth is cleaned using special tools and solutions. Mete Dental Clinic experts carefully shape the root canals at this stage using the latest technology equipment and sterilization methods. This process is of great importance for the complete elimination of infection and the success of the treatment.
5. Root Canal Filling
After the pulp tissue is completely cleaned and the root canals are shaped, the canals are usually filled with a special material called gutta-percha. This prevents the root canals from becoming infected again. The filling materials used at Mete Dental Clinic are biocompatible and provide the closest compatibility to the natural structure of the tooth. This increases the durability of the tooth after treatment and ensures its longevity.
6. Closure and Repair of the Tooth
The final stage of treatment is the closure and repair of the upper part of the tooth. If the structure of the tooth is severely damaged, a crown (coating) may need to be placed instead of the filling material. At Mete Dental Clinic , the most appropriate coating or filling method is determined by considering the functional and aesthetic needs of each patient’s tooth.

Possible Risks and Complications
