Root Canal

We’re Here for You
When Infection Strikes

Dental pain is never something you would ever welcome with open arms. Along with the constant throbbing associated with dental infection, you may experience difficulty eating or sleeping, fever, swelling, and considerable stress and worry.

A visit to the dentist can sometimes cause anxiety, especially when it comes to procedures like a root canal. However, our experienced team are caring and supportive. We use the most effective techniques to ensure your treatment is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Root canal treatments are a highly effective way to save a damaged or infected tooth, relieving pain and preventing extraction.

Understanding the
Root Cause

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to treat infection at the centre of a tooth and the root canal system.

If a tooth becomes severely decayed or infected, the soft tissue inside the tooth (the pulp) can become inflamed or infected, causing discomfort and potentially leading to more serious dental issues. Any infected pulp is carefully removed during a root canal treatment, and the tooth’s interior is cleaned and sealed —saving your tooth.

The Benefits of a Root Canal Treatment

icon

For Better Health

Untreated infections spread. An infection will move on to cause harm to other teeth and the surrounding gums and bone. Abscesses may form, and infections can move to other areas of your body. Root canals prevent the spread of the infection and any further damage.

For the Love Of Your Smile

An infection can lead to tooth loss. But if we act quickly, we can prevent gaps and keep your smile looking full, healthy, and completely natural. The sooner we can see you and treat you, the easier it will be to save your beautiful smile.

For Quick Pain Relief

A toothache from a dental infection can be devastatingly painful. Put an end to sleepless nights and days of constant dental pain. A root canal treatment gets to the heart of the problem and quickly relieves you of discomfort so you can reclaim your life.

For a Patient-Friendly Approach

We understand that anxiety is natural if you need a procedure like a root canal. The good news is that we use the latest techniques and technology coupled with supportive care to ensure your experience with us is free from discomfort.

The Root Canal Process

We take great care to ensure that your root canal treatment is as comfortable and efficient as possible. The procedure typically involves the following steps:

Initial Assessment

Before treating you, we’ll carefully examine your tooth using digital imaging techniques to confirm if a root canal is necessary. We’ll discuss your treatment options in detail, ensuring you feel well-informed and confident about the next steps.

The Procedure

To ensure you’re entirely comfortable during the procedure, we’ll use local anaesthetic to numb the area around your tooth. The next step is to remove the infected pulp carefully. Next, the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent future infection. After cleaning the canals, we’ll fill them with a natural latex-like material. The tooth is sealed with a filling.

Next Steps

After your root canal treatment, the tooth may need a crown to protect it and restore its function. We’ll discuss any care advice and further treatments after your procedure.
