Preserving Your Natural Smile

A root canal treatment is aimed at treating infection at the centre of a tooth. The misconception is that the treatment is painful; but it's actually the infection that causes the pain. During treatment, our goal is to alleviate pain, remove the infection, and ultimately, save your tooth.

If the pulp inside your tooth, made up of soft tissue including nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected through decay or injury, you may need a root canal treatment. Without treatment, the infection can spread and may lead to an abscess, causing significant discomfort and potentially requiring the tooth to be extracted.

How General Dentistry Works
A Simple, Painless Process

We utilise the latest magnification equipment and pain management to ensure your comfort throughout the process. You'll be talked through each step of the treatment before we begin so you know you're in the safest hands.

Diagnosis

One of our dentists begins with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection.

Anaesthesia

A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area, ensuring you feel no discomfort during the procedure. Removing the Infection: The infected pulp is carefully removed, the root canal is cleaned and shaped, preparing it for a filling.

Filling the Tooth

Restoration

FAQs

Root canal treatment is a procedure that removes infection from the inside of a tooth, saving it from extraction and restoring it to full health.

It usually takes one or two appointments, depending on the complexity of the tooth. We'll let you know exactly what to expect during your consultation.

We gently remove the infected or damaged tissue, carefully clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and then seal it to prevent further infection. Often, a crown is placed afterwards to strengthen the tooth.
