Relieve pain and save your natural smile
Save your tooth and ease the pain
When the inside of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, what follows is quite unpleasant. Pain, sensitivity, or swelling can take hold, jeopardising oral health and making everyday activities difficult. Root canal treatment gently removes the infection, eases discomfort, and helps save your natural tooth—so you can keep smiling, eating, and speaking without worry.
We make your experience as comfortable as possible by blending compassionate care, professional expertise, and the latest technology for clear, smooth, stress-free treatment. We’ll guide you through each step, answer your questions, and provide the support you need from start to finish.
Root canal therapy for long-term health
Root canal therapy ends deep infection and keeps your natural smile strong. This dental procedure removes infected or inflamed tissue (the pulp) from inside a tooth. This tissue contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes diseased, it can cause significant pain or lead to further infection.
During treatment, the affected pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and shaped, and then sealed with a special filling material to prevent reinfection. In most cases, the tooth is then restored with a crown to provide long-term strength and protection.
The goal of root canal treatment is to relieve pain, stop the infection from spreading, and preserve your natural tooth so it can continue to function for many years.
When might you need a root canal?
Root canal treatment is usually recommended when the soft tissue inside your tooth (the pulp) becomes damaged or infected due to decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures. Common signs that you may need treatment include:
- Ongoing or throbbing toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn’t fade quickly
- Pain that lingers after eating or drinking
- Swelling, tenderness, or a small lump near the gums
- Discomfort that keeps you awake at night
If an infected tooth is left untreated, the problem can worsen, sometimes leading to an abscess or even tooth loss. Getting timely care not only eases your pain but also helps save your natural tooth and protect your long-term oral health.
Five steps of root canal therapy
Root canal treatment is usually carried out over 2–3 visits, depending on the condition of your tooth. Each step is designed to carefully remove infection and restore your tooth’s health:
1. Assessment and diagnosis – Digital X-rays and a detailed examination confirm whether root canal therapy is the most suitable option.
2. Removing infection – The infected or inflamed pulp is gently removed from inside the tooth.
3. Cleaning and shaping – The root canals are disinfected, shaped, and prepared for a secure filling.
4. Sealing the canals – A safe, biocompatible material is placed to seal the canals and protect against reinfection.
5. Final restoration – The tooth is sealed with a filling, and often a crown is recommended to restore its full strength and function.
