Root canal treatment is designed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged, helping you avoid extraction whenever possible. If the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, or a crack, it can cause significant pain and swelling. During treatment, the infected tissue is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection.
With modern techniques and advanced technology, root canal treatment is more comfortable than ever before. Our experienced dentists focus on relieving pain, preserving your natural tooth, and restoring its strength and function. Following treatment, a dental crown may be recommended to provide additional protection and ensure long-lasting results.
Root canal treatment removes infection while preserving your natural tooth, helping you avoid extraction whenever possible.
Root canal treatment is a procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection.
Modern root canal treatment is performed using local anaesthetic and is generally no more uncomfortable than having a routine filling. Most patients experience significant pain relief after treatment.
The length of treatment depends on the complexity of the tooth, but most root canal procedures are completed in one or two appointments.
In many cases, a dental crown is recommended to strengthen and protect the treated tooth, particularly for back teeth that experience greater biting forces.
With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and appropriate restoration, a root canal treated tooth can last for many years, often a lifetime.
