Root Canal Treatment

Save an infected or badly damaged tooth with root canal treatment, designed to remove infection, relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.

Save Your Natural Tooth

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, helping to relieve discomfort and preserve your natural tooth. After treatment, the tooth is carefully restored with overlay or crown to protect it and allow you to bite and function comfortably again.

Clinical Journey

Your Treatment Journey

Root canal treatment helps relieve discomfort, treat infection and save your natural tooth, allowing it to function comfortably again.

Careful Assessment & Pain Relief

We examine your tooth and take X-rays to understand the problem. Local anaesthesia is given to keep you comfortable before removing the inflamed or infected nerve to relieve discomfort.

Gentle Cleaning

The root canals are carefully cleaned and shaped to remove infection and prepare the tooth for sealing.

Sealing the Tooth

Once cleaned, the root canals are filled and securely sealed to protect the tooth from reinfection.

Restore & Protect

We restore your tooth with an overlay or crown for added strength and long-term protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about root canal therapy.

Does root canal treatment hurt?

Local anaesthesia is used to keep you comfortable during treatment. Root canal treatment is designed to relieve pain caused by an inflamed or infected tooth. It is normal to have mild tenderness or sensitivity for a few days afterward, which usually settles as the tooth heals.

Do I need an overlay or crown after root canal treatment?

Not every tooth requires an overlay or crown. However, teeth that are weakened or heavily restored, especially back teeth, may benefit from a crown or overlay to reduce the risk of fracture.

What are the alternatives to root canal treatment?

If the tooth cannot or should not be treated with root canal treatment, extraction may be considered. The missing tooth can then be replaced with options such as a dental implant or bridge when appropriate.
