We understand that root canal therapy can be uncomfortable and overwhelming. Our experienced team provides quick & effective root canal therapy that minimises pain and your time in the chair.
If you’re experiencing a persistent toothache, swelling around the gums, or discolouration of a tooth, you may be facing issues with your root canals.
Do you have a persistent toothache that won’t go away? This can often indicate an underlying issue, such as an infection or damage to the dental pulp, which is the innermost part of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels.
Sensitivity to hot or cold substances is another sign that the tooth’s nerves may be damaged. The dental pulp transmits sensations, and any disruption can result in heightened sensitivity.
Our dentists can diagnose the source of your pain, and whether root canal treatment is an appropriate solution.
Neglecting root canal treatment can spread infection, affecting neighbouring teeth and leading to more extensive (and expensive) dental procedures. Timely intervention saves your natural tooth and prevents the escalation of dental problems.
A root canal therapy is a dental procedure where the infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth is extracted, followed by thorough cleaning, disinfection, and filling and sealing to avoid future infections.
You may need a root canal therapy to address and alleviate pain or infection caused by damaged or infected pulp inside your tooth, which can potentially save the tooth from needing to be extracted.
With modern techniques and anaesthesia, the procedure is no more uncomfortable than a routine dental filling.
The length varies from patient to patient, but most treatments are completed in one or two appointments.
Yes, you can generally eat after a root canal therapy, but it’s advisable to wait until the anaesthesia wears off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue. Some teeth will require a crown to prevent future fractures. Your dentist will discuss the options with you.
