Root Canal Treatment London

Root Canal Treatment from £495

If your tooth is badly damaged by deep decay or is broken and infected, then your only option is to treat it with a root canal. Together with our root canal dentists, we can clear out the infection from deep inside your damaged tooth and return it to good health so it can continue to do the job it was designed to do.

We could attempt procedures like an apicectomy, but if there’s a severe infection in the pulp, a root canal is likely the best way forward.

ROOT CANAL FAQS

Your questions answered

What is a root canal?

Root canal treatment is the only means of saving a tooth where the nerves and blood vessels (the pulp) within the tooth have been damaged or died. The damage may have been caused by deep decay, a crack or trauma – even years later. Left untreated or delayed too long, it can cause severe pain, facial swelling and possible tooth loss.

Is treatment painful?

No, local anaesthetic is used at every stage, and relaxing gas can be offered to anxious patients.

How long does treatment take?

This will vary according to the complexity of the treatment. Typically, two visits are required.

What are the alternatives?

The tooth must be extracted if root canal treatment is not carried out. Missing teeth can be replaced with bridges, implants or dentures.

General dentist or root canal specialist?

General dentists are trained in root canal procedures and can perform them depending on their skill set, experience and the treatment needed. Your dentist may refer you to an endodontist for re-treatment or, in complicated cases, when specialist expertise and equipment are required.

What is the likelihood of success?

Nobody can guarantee success. However, long-term success is very likely when endodontic and restorative treatment is carried out to a high standard.

What happens after root canal treatment?

Root canal-treated teeth can be weak and brittle. Usually, but not always, it is recommended to protect it with a permanent crown.
