Dealing with tooth pain or sensitivity caused by infection? Root canal treatment offers a safe, effective way to relieve discomfort, save your natural tooth, and restore your oral health so you can smile comfortably again.
A root canal treatment is a procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected or inflamed inside. When the soft tissue (known as the pulp) inside the tooth becomes damaged due to decay, injury, or a deep filling, it can cause pain and lead to the infection spreading if left untreated.
During a root canal, your dentist carefully removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and then seals it to prevent reinfection. The tooth is usually restored with a filling or crown to restore its strength and function.
Despite its reputation, a root canal is a straightforward and comfortable procedure, thanks to modern techniques and local anaesthetic. Most importantly, it allows you to keep your natural tooth and avoid having to extracted the tooth".
Your full arch implant journey begins with a detailed consultation where we’ll assess your oral health, take scans, and discuss your goals. This helps us create a personalised treatment plan for the best functional and aesthetic results.
Your root canal journey starts with a consultation, where we’ll assess the tooth and take an X-ray to check for infection or damage. We’ll talk you through the process so you know exactly what to expect.
During treatment, the area is numbed with local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. Your dentist will make a small opening in the tooth, remove the infected or damaged pulp, and carefully clean and disinfect the root canals.
The canals are then filled and sealed to prevent reinfection. Most teeth are restored with a filling or crown to protect and strengthen them.
The procedure is usually completed in one or two visits with minimal discomfort, allowing you to keep your natural tooth and feel confident again.
