When infection reaches the nerve of a tooth, root canal treatment removes the damaged tissue and seals the tooth — relieving pain while saving it from extraction
Modern techniques make root canal treatment far more comfortable than its reputation suggests.
Removes the infected or inflamed nerve tissue causing your discomfort.
Preserves your natural tooth instead of requiring extraction.
Local anaesthesia and modern tools keep treatment gentle throughout.
We confirm the diagnosis and check the extent of the infection.
The infected pulp is removed and the canal thoroughly cleaned.
The cleaned canal is filled and sealed to prevent reinfection.
A crown is often fitted to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
With modern anaesthesia, most patients feel no more discomfort than a filling.
Usually one to two visits, depending on the complexity of the infection.
Untreated infection can spread, risking an abscess and loss of the tooth.
