Appointments open

A root canal is not the painful procedure it is often made out to be. With modern anaesthesia, magnification and rotary instruments, the experience is usually comparable to a filling. The aim is simple: remove the infected tissue, clean the canal system thoroughly, seal it, and protect the tooth so you can keep using it.

The process

How treatment is planned.

The steps are similar for most patients. The timeline and fee are confirmed in writing after examination.

Confirm the diagnosis

We identify exactly which tooth is responsible and whether the nerve is reversible or infected.

Make you comfortable

The area is numbed thoroughly and tested before we begin. You can stop us at any point.

Clean and seal

The infected tissue is removed, canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed with a permanent filling.

Protect the tooth

Back teeth usually need a crown afterwards. We explain why, and plan it before the tooth becomes fragile.

Questions

Root canals — common questions

Will it hurt?

With effective local anaesthesia, the procedure should be comfortable. Most patients tell us it was easier than they expected. Mild tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal.

Can it be done in one visit?

Many straightforward cases can be completed in one visit. Severely infected teeth may need two visits and a medicated dressing in between.

Is it better to remove the tooth?

Keeping a natural tooth is usually preferable when it can be restored predictably. We will tell you honestly when an extraction or another replacement option is the better choice.
