What is root canal treatment?

Inside each tooth is a soft core of nerves and blood vessels (the pulp). If it becomes infected or inflamed – usually through deep decay, a crack or an injury – it can cause pain and swelling. Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the canals, then seals them, so you can keep your natural tooth.

Signs you may need it

Lingering pain to hot or cold, pain when biting, swelling, a darkening tooth or a gum boil.

Experienced care

Treatment is carried out by an experienced dentist, who will explain each step and keep you comfortable.

3D imaging on site

Our own CBCT scanner helps assess complex roots and infections when a standard X-ray isn't enough.

From £90

Referrals welcome

Dentists can refer patients for root canal treatment or CBCT scans.

How treatment works

  1. Assessment
    We examine the tooth and take X-rays (or a CBCT scan if needed) and explain your options.
  2. Treatment
    Under local anaesthetic, we remove the infected pulp and clean the canals.
  3. Sealing
    The canals are filled and sealed, and the tooth is restored.
  4. Protecting the tooth
    Back teeth often need a crown afterwards to stop them breaking.

Root canal treatment: common questions

How much does root canal treatment cost?

Root canal treatment starts from £435 for front teeth and £495 for molars at our Waterloo practice. A crown may be recommended afterwards. You get a written quote before treatment.

Does root canal treatment hurt?

The treatment is done under local anaesthetic, so it should feel similar to having a filling. The tooth may be tender for a few days afterwards.

How many appointments will I need?

Usually one or two, depending on the tooth and the infection.

What happens if I don't have it done?

The infection can spread and cause an abscess, and the tooth may eventually need to be taken out.
