Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp (nerve tissue) inside a tooth, cleans and disinfects the inner canals, and seals the space to prevent future infection. It’s a safe, routine procedure that can stop severe pain, prevent tooth loss, and eliminate the need for extraction.
Once the tooth is treated, it’s typically restored with a crown to reinforce its strength and maintain natural function and appearance.
Root Canal Therapy is ideal if you:
Thorough tests, low-dose X-rays, and clear explanations
Effective local anaesthetic and calm, unrushed appointments
Rubber dam isolation, rotary shaping, and warm obturation for a dense seal
Onlay/crown options to prevent future cracks
Emergency pain relief where possible

We begin with a thorough exam, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging if needed, to confirm the infection and assess the extent of damage.
We explain the findings and walk you through your personalised treatment plan, including costs, expected outcomes, and restoration options.
The area is numbed to ensure a completely pain-free procedure. Nervous patients may opt for mild sedation to feel more relaxed.
We access the inside of the tooth, remove the infected pulp, and clean and shape the root canals using precision rotary instruments.
The canals are filled and sealed, and the tooth is restored — often with a crown — to protect it from future damage.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and monitor healing during your follow-up visits. Most patients return to normal function quickly.
Root canal therapy (endodontic treatment) removes infected or inflamed pulp—the soft tissue inside your tooth—to eliminate infection, prevent reinfection, and save your natural tooth.
Not today. Modern root canal procedures use effective local anesthesia and pain management. Most patients say it’s no more uncomfortable than a routine filling.
Typically 60–90 minutes in a single visit. More complex cases or multiple canals may require a second appointment.
You’ll receive local anesthesia, your tooth is isolated with a rubber dam, infected pulp is removed, canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed with gutta-percha, and finally the tooth is restored—often with a crown.
You may feel mild sensitivity or tenderness for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen or acetaminophen usually helps. Soft foods and avoiding chewing on the treated tooth are recommended until it’s fully restored.
Root canals save your natural tooth, maintain chewing efficiency, prevent shifting of adjacent teeth, and are often more cost-effective than extraction followed by implants or bridges.
Yes, although rare. Re-infection can occur if the seal breaks or complex canal anatomy isn’t fully cleaned. Options include retreatment or, in persistent cases, possible extraction
