As a specialist service, we offer the full range of Endodontic treatment on any tooth. Endodontic (or root canal) treatment is a procedure for your tooth to prevent its premature loss. Treatment is usually needed when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, and it allows the surrounding tissues to heal resulting in the natural tooth to be retained in form and function.

NHS Appointments for Level 2 or 3 Specialist Care

We provide treatment on any tooth and urgent cases are usually seen within a week or less.

What does Endodontic treatment involve?

The removal of inflamed or infected tissue inside the tooth and the subsequent sealing of the root canals to prevent future infection. During this process the canals are cleaned and shaped using fine metal instruments under magnification. Following the bacteria being washed out with a disinfectant, the root canals are sealed.

Does Endodontic treatment hurt?

As root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia your clinician will normally ensure this a painless procedure. Although patients are usually worried about having treatment, the tooth is fully anaesthetised prior to treatment meaning it should not feel any different from having a normal filling.

How long does treatment take?

Endodontic treatment is a complex and time-consuming but this does result in better outcomes. Treatment is usually carried out over one or two visits with each visit taking approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours.

What other treatment is required after endodontic treatment?

After endodontic treatment has been completed, the treated tooth will likely become brittle and vulnerable to fracture as the tooth is now effectively dead inside. Prompt restoration in the form of a permanent filling, crown or onlay is necessary to avoid this. The final restoration is as important to the survival of the tooth as the root filling itself. It is your responsibility to see your dentist for the final restoration of the tooth.

What are the alternatives?

The alternatives to Endodontic treatment are no treatment or extraction of the tooth which will likely need to be followed by the provision of a replacement tooth (in the form of a removable denture, fixed bridge or a dental implant).
