Skip the long waiting lists while saving up to 70% on your root canal in Valencia, Spain.

Dental Departures works with dozens of endodontic specialists in this southwestern part of Spain who can safely, effectively and painlessly treat your infected tooth.

Root canal therapy is performed by endodontists and trained dental surgeons in Valencia to save an infected tooth. A tooth may become infected following decay, with the cavity eventually reaching the inner pulp.

A root canal is typically indicated when:

• A tooth becomes very painful
• Gums around the tooth become swollen
• There is swelling around the localised area, such as around the face and neck

During a root canal procedure:

• The severity of your condition will first be evaluated with the dentist running a series of diagnostic tests.
• The area will be numbed using local anaesthetic, meaning you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Some dentists may also offer different sedation options.
• To access the tooth root, the dentist drills through the tooth, opening up the pulp chamber.
• Specialised instruments are used to clean out the infected pulp chamber and root canals. Antibacterial and antiseptic solution is also applied as part of this main step.
• The root canals are then filled using a rubber-like material, which is heated to expand
• The original access hole is finally filled.

Note: In some cases where the structural integrity of the tooth has been compromised, a crown will be placed to provide reinforcement. 

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Valencia for Root Canal?

While the treatment session may only take as little as an hour or two, you should plan to be in Valencia for a few days, as it is common for dentists to ask patients back for a follow-up appointment.

If a crown is required, treatment may take up to five days.

The main metropolitan area is best known for its thriving art and cultural scene, as well as impressive landscaped parks, museums, living nightlife and world-class Spanish restaurants.
