General dentistry
Root canal (endodontic) treatment removes the inflamed or dead nerve tissue from inside a tooth and seals the canals, so the tooth can be kept. At Primadent it is done under local anaesthesia, and the price is set after the examination.
Endodontics
Root canal treatment, also called endodontic treatment, treats the inside of the tooth.
The dentist removes the affected tooth tissue and the inflamed or dead pulp (the nerve), then cleans, widens and shapes the root canals mechanically and chemically, and finally fills them. The aim is to remove the bacterial infection from the canals and prevent it from returning, so that the tissues around the tooth can heal.
Causes
Root canal treatment is needed when the pulp of a tooth is inflamed or has died. Common causes are:
If a dead tooth is not treated in time, an abscess can form and treatment becomes more difficult. Whether you need root canal treatment is decided by the dentist after the examination and an X-ray.
Treatment
Treatment starts with a paid first consultation. At Škofije near Koper and in Ljubljana an OPG is included in the price of the consultation, and in Celje an examination with a CBCT scan, so we can see straight away what is possible.
The treatment itself is carried out under local anaesthesia, with a local X-ray of the tooth.
Whether the tooth needs a build-up or a crown afterwards is decided by the dentist.

Price
Root canal treatment has no single price on our price list. The price depends on how complex the treatment is – among other things on the number of root canals and whether the tooth needs a build-up – and on the location.
Because it is a combined treatment, we calculate the price after the examination: a binding estimate is prepared by the dentist after the examination; we do not prepare detailed written estimates remotely.
Payment in instalments is possible. See all prices.
Anxiety
If you are afraid of the procedure, tell us when you book – many of our patients come with the same experience. Treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia.
All dental treatments can also be carried out under general anaesthesia in Celje, for adults over 18.
