WHAT WE DO

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is used to treat an infection or inflammation inside a tooth. This can happen when decay, a deep filling or an injury damages the soft tissue inside the tooth, known as the pulp – causing patients to experience sensitivity and toothache.

During treatment, the infection is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and the tooth is sealed to help prevent further infection.

Key Points:

  • During root canal treatment, an infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the root canals are carefully cleaned and shaped.
  • Treatment in the chair can take around 1 hour
  • The treatment is designed to keep your roots healthy for many years
  • Local anaesthetic injection is used for a root canal to numb the area completely
  • The cost of treatment starts from £495
  • Private patients only

What is Involved With Root Canal Treatment?

Step 1 – Assessment

Your dentist will examine your tooth and may take an X-ray to understand the problem and check the surrounding area.

Step 2 – Cleaning the tooth

The infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the root canals are carefully cleaned and shaped.

Step 3 – Sealing the tooth

Once the tooth has been cleaned, the root canals are filled and sealed. A filling or crown may then be recommended to protect the tooth and restore its strength.

How Do I Know if I Need Root Canal Treatment?

Common signs that you may need root canal treatment include toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, swelling or tenderness around the tooth. Sometimes, however, an infected tooth may cause little or no pain.

If you are experiencing any concerns with a tooth, our dentists can assess the problem and recommend the most suitable treatment.

 

How Much Does Root Canal Treatment Cost?

Our root canal treatment starts from £495 – and the cost can vary depending on which tooth requires treatment and how complex the procedure is. We will provide you with a clear treatment plan and explain the costs before starting treatment.

 

How Long Does Root Canal Treatment Take?

A root canal treatment appointment usually takes around 1 hour, carried out in the dental chair. More complex cases may require a second appointment, but your dentist will explain this before treatment begins.

 

Is Root Canal Treatment Permanent?

Root canal treatment is designed to be a long-term solution and can allow you to keep your natural tooth for many years. With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a treated tooth can last a long time. A crown may be recommended to help protect the tooth and improve its strength.
