Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside the tooth so the tooth itself can stay, rather than being extracted. We do this under the operating microscope for precision on narrow or curved canals.
Why save the tooth
A natural tooth, even root-treated, generally performs better long-term than an implant or bridge in the same spot, and costs less overall once you count replacement options.
What the procedure involves
Under local anaesthesia and a rubber dam to keep the area clean, the infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, then filled and sealed. A crown usually follows to protect the tooth afterward.

Frequently asked
Is root canal treatment painful?
The procedure itself is done under anaesthesia and is generally no more uncomfortable than a filling; the pain that brought you in is what's being treated.
What if the tooth still hurts afterward?
Mild soreness for a few days is normal. Ongoing or worsening pain means the tooth should be reassessed, sometimes as a retreatment.
