Modern, gentle treatment designed to eliminate infection, relieve discomfort and save your natural tooth whenever possible. Using advanced techniques and digital imaging, we make root canal therapy a comfortable, effective way to protect your smile for years to come.
Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic treatment) is used to remove infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth. By cleaning and sealing the root canals, we can often save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Recognising the warning signs early can make all the difference in saving your tooth. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend booking an assessment as soon as possible.
Throbbing pain that doesn't go away, often worse at night.
Sensitivity to hot or cold that persists long after the stimulus is removed.
Swelling or tenderness around the affected tooth.
Pain or discomfort when biting or chewing on the tooth.
A tooth that appears darker or discoloured compared to surrounding teeth.
A small, pimple-like bump on the gum near the affected tooth.
Root canal treatment isn't just about relieving pain — it's about preserving your natural smile for years to come. Here's why saving your own tooth is always the preferred choice.
Treat the source of infection and discomfort.
Maintain your natural tooth and bite.
Reduce the risk of infection spreading.

Knowing what's involved can help ease any uncertainty. Here's a step-by-step overview of how we make your root canal treatment as smooth and comfortable as possible.
We assess the tooth and take digital X-rays.
The infected tissue is carefully removed and the canals are disinfected.
The canals are sealed to protect against reinfection.
A filling or crown is placed to restore strength and appearance.
Some tenderness or sensitivity may occur after root canal treatment, particularly during the first few days. Your dentist will explain how to care for the treated tooth, when to resume normal chewing and whether a final restoration, such as a crown, is recommended.
Follow any aftercare advice and attend your review appointment.
Wait until your dentist advises before chewing on the treated tooth.
