Root Canal Therapy

Save your natural tooth and relieve pain with expert endodontic treatment.

Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy – Endodontics

Root canal treatment, or endodontics, is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of a tooth within the root canal system.​

These infections are caused by bacteria from the mouth that invade the tooth when it has decayed, a filling has leaked, or the tooth has been damaged by trauma or a fall.​
Once bacteria are removed, the root canal is filled and the tooth sealed with a filling or crown, allowing any inflamed tissues at the end of the tooth to heal naturally.

Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Services We Offer

Standard Root Canal Treatment

Treatment of infection at the centre of the tooth by removing bacteria from the root canal system.​ The canal is then cleaned, filled and sealed to prevent reinfection and save the tooth.

Root Canal Re-treatment

Retreatment of teeth where a previous root canal has failed or reinfection has occurred.​
The old filling is removed, the canal cleaned again and resealed for a second chance to save the tooth.

Emergency Root Canal Care

Emergency treatment for patients experiencing severe tooth pain or abscess.​
We aim to relieve discomfort quickly and start the root canal process as soon as possible.

Crown Restoration After Root Canal

Placement of a dental crown to protect and strengthen the tooth following root canal therapy.​ Crowns restore full function and appearance, ensuring long-term durability.​

Root Canal for Trauma Cases

Treatment for teeth damaged by falls, sports injuries or accidents that have caused nerve damage.​ We assess and treat traumatised teeth to preserve them wherever possible.

Treatment for Leaking Fillings

Root canal therapy for teeth where bacteria have entered through a cracked or leaking filling.​ Early treatment can save the tooth and prevent the need for extraction.

Endodontic Assessment

Thorough examination and diagnosis to determine if root canal treatment is needed.​ We discuss all options including root canal therapy or extraction and help you make an informed choice.

Post-Treatment Care & Review

A follow-up appointment may be needed to check healing and confirm that the treated tooth is settling properly. Once your root canal treatment is complete, we will provide you with all relevant aftercare advice.
