Root canal treatment in Medellín, Colombia
A toothache that won't go away? A root canal removes the infection from the nerve and saves your natural tooth, so you don't need an extraction. At our clinic in Laureles (Medellín) your treatment is performed by a specialist, with a clear plan and pricing from the first visit.
When do you need a root canal?
- You feel intense or lingering pain when chewing, or sensitivity to hot and cold that won't go away.
- A deep cavity has reached the tooth's nerve and may put the tooth at risk.
- A blow or trauma damaged the nerve of your tooth.
- You want to save your natural tooth and avoid an extraction or an implant.
Your root canal treatment, step by step
Evaluation and diagnosis
We take an X-ray and assess the nerve to confirm whether your tooth needs a root canal.
Root canal treatment
The specialist cleans the canal, removes the infection and seals the inside of the tooth in one or two sessions.
Tooth restoration
We protect your tooth with the restoration or crown your case requires so it works like new.
Follow-up
We verify the tooth heals properly and stays pain-free, with scheduled check-ups.

Frequently asked questions
The cost depends on the tooth (molar, premolar or front tooth) and how many canals it has. At the consultation you receive the full estimate in writing and the available financing options — usually a fraction of US prices.
No. It's performed with local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the procedure. In fact, most patients feel immediate relief, because the inflamed nerve causing the pain is removed.
Most root canals are completed in one or two sessions of about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the case. At the consultation we'll give you exact times for your tooth — easy to fit into a short stay in Medellín.
Saving your natural tooth preserves your bite, keeps the other teeth from shifting and saves you from more expensive treatments later, like an implant. Whenever a tooth can be saved, that's the first option.
