Root Canal Treatment at Wins Dental, Jamsil Seoul

Wins Dental proudly serves patients from Gangnam, Jamsil, and Songpa, welcoming visitors from across the greater Seoul area.

Persistent toothache, lingering sensitivity, or swelling can mean the inner nerve is infected. At Wins Dental (Jamsil, Seoul), root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) removes infection, relieves pain, and saves your natural tooth—often in one comfortable visit.

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal cleans and disinfects the tooth’s inner canals, then seals them to stop reinfection. This preserves your natural tooth structure so you can chew comfortably without extracting the tooth.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

  • Spontaneous tooth pain or night pain
  • Lingering sensitivity to hot/cold (seconds to minutes)
  • Pain on biting or chewing, cracked-tooth symptoms
  • Gum swelling, pimple-like bump, or facial tenderness
  • Deep decay or trauma visible on X-rays

Save the Tooth vs. Extract?

When the root is healthy enough to support a restoration, saving the tooth is usually best for chewing efficiency and jaw health. Extraction may be considered for untreatable fractures or severe bone loss—we’ll review options clearly.

Our Root Canal Process

  1. Diagnosis & Imaging – Exam, digital X-ray/CBCT (if needed) to map canals
  2. Comfort First – Profound local anesthesia and rubber dam isolation
  3. Canal Cleaning – Rotary NiTi instruments and irrigation to remove bacteria
  4. Disinfection & Seal – Biocompatible filling (gutta-percha) and adhesive sealers
  5. Core Build-Up – Reinforces the tooth after therapy
  6. Final Restoration – Crown recommended on back teeth to prevent fractures

Many cases complete in one visit; complex roots may need two.

Technology We Use

  • Apex locator for precise working length
  • Rotary NiTi files for efficient, conservative shaping
  • Enhanced irrigation protocols to disinfect complex anatomy
  • Digital X-rays / CBCT when anatomy or infection is unclear
  • Rubber dam for safe, clean treatment field

Does a Root Canal Hurt?

With modern anesthesia and technique, treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than a filling. Any post-op tenderness is usually mild and short-lived.

Aftercare & Recovery

  • Mild soreness for 24–48 hours is common—OTC pain relief as directed
  • Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until the final crown is placed
  • Keep excellent brushing/flossing and attend follow-up visits

When a Crown Is Needed

Teeth that undergo root canal—especially molars and premolars—are prone to fracture. A ceramic or zirconia crown protects the tooth and restores full strength.

Retreatment & Apicoectomy (If Needed)

If a previously treated tooth flares up or shows persistent infection, retreatment or a surgical apicoectomy (root-end repair) can often save it. We’ll explain benefits, risks, and alternatives.

FAQs

Will my tooth darken after a root canal?
Occasionally. Internal bleaching or a veneer/crown can restore color if needed.

How long will it last?
With a proper crown and good hygiene, endodontically treated teeth can last many years.

Can antibiotics replace a root canal?
No. Antibiotics don’t remove infected tissue inside the tooth; mechanical cleaning and sealing are essential.
