Care to help save teeth affected by deeper infection
Root canal treatment may be recommended when the nerve inside a tooth is inflamed or infected. We explain the diagnosis clearly and plan treatment around comfort and long-term stability.
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, before sealing and restoring it where clinically suitable.
We assess symptoms, x-rays and restorability so you understand why treatment may be needed.
The infected or inflamed tissue is carefully cleaned from inside the tooth.
The canal is sealed to help protect the tooth from further infection.
Some teeth need a filling or crown after treatment to restore strength and function.
We know root canal treatment can sound daunting. Our approach is calm, careful and built around explaining each stage before it happens.
We start by understanding your symptoms, worries and what has changed.
