What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment (endodontic treatment) is a procedure used to save a tooth that is badly damaged or infected. During the treatment:

  • The infected or inflamed pulp inside the tooth is removed.
  • The canals inside the tooth are cleaned and shaped.
  • The tooth is filled and sealed to prevent further infection.

This allows the tooth to function normally without pain, protecting your smile and oral health.

Who is root canal treatment for?

Root canal treatment is suitable for patients who:

  • Have deep tooth decay or cracks.
  • Experience severe toothache, sensitivity, or swelling.
  • Have an abscess or infection in the tooth pulp.
  • Want to save their natural tooth rather than extract it.

Our approach:

  • We carefully evaluate each patient using advanced imaging and clinical assessment.
  • We focus on preserving your natural teeth whenever possible.

Stages and process of treatment

Root canal treatment usually involves the following steps:

  1. Examination and X-rays – assess the extent of infection or damage.
  2. Local anaesthetic – ensures the procedure is painless.
  3. Removal of infected pulp – cleaning and shaping of the root canals.
  4. Filling and sealing – biocompatible material fills the canals.
  5. Restoration – a core filling and crown to restore, strengthen and function.

How much does root canal treatment cost?

Costs vary depending on:

  • Whether the tooth is having a root canal for the first time or if the tooth needs a re-root canal (removing the existing root canal filling and replacing it). This is because a root canal can be a more difficult and lengthy procedure.
