02 Dr. Varnica’s approach
A clear path from
concern to care.
Your exact plan depends on clinical findings. These are the principles that guide the journey.
Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia is administered when indicated. Sensation varies, and patients should tell the treating dentist about discomfort.
Cleaning
Inflamed or infected tissue is removed and the root canals are shaped, disinfected and sealed using endodontic instruments and materials.
Restoration
A filling or crown may be recommended according to the remaining tooth structure, tooth position and biting forces.
03 Common questions
Practical answers,
without promises.
What may I feel during a root canal?+
Local anaesthesia is commonly used during treatment. Sensation and discomfort vary between patients and may also depend on the condition of the tooth. Tell the treating dentist if you feel discomfort or need a pause.
Can it be completed in one visit?+
Some cases can. Others benefit from two or more visits depending on infection, anatomy and previous treatment. The plan is explained after examination.
Do I always need a crown afterwards?+
Back teeth often need the protection of a crown, but the decision depends on how much healthy tooth remains, its position and the forces on it.
What if the tooth had a root canal before?+
A previously treated tooth can sometimes become reinfected. Re-root canal treatment may be possible after assessing the tooth and existing restoration.
