Endodontic microscope
A dental operating microscope lights up and magnifies the inside of a tooth, helping your dentist see fine details during root canal treatment.
How we use it
A microscope can help locate small canal openings, examine difficult areas and see around old filling material when a root canal needs to be treated again.

FAQs
Does the microscope touch my tooth?
No. It is positioned above you and your dentist looks through it while working.
Does it replace dental X-rays?
No. The microscope helps your dentist see the area they are working on. X-rays can show the roots and bone that are hidden from direct view.
Is it used for repeat root canal treatment?
It can be particularly useful when revisiting a previously treated tooth. Your dentist will explain what they need to examine in your case.
