Root Canals

We offer root canal treatment to save infected or severely damaged teeth by removing the infection and preserving the natural tooth.

What to expect?

A root canal treatment is necessary when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the canal, and then sealing it to preserve the natural tooth for as long as possible.

Benefits:

Pain Relief

Eliminates severe pain and discomfort caused by infection.

Tooth Preservation

Saves a natural tooth that might otherwise need extraction.

Improved Oral Health

Prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our dental services, treatments, payment options, and what to expect during your visit.

Is a root canal painful?

Modern root canal treatments are typically performed under local anaesthesia, making the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups are vital. Your dentist will also advise on any necessary restorations, such as a crown.

Depending on the severity of the infection and the complexity, a root canal can be completed as quickly as two appointments. However, complex ones may take around 3 appointments to complete.
