What is a Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is needed when an infection spreads to the root of your tooth, potentially leading to an abscess. Once the infection reaches the soft pulp of the tooth, you will likely experience considerable pain as this is where the nerve of the tooth is located.

Root canal treatment removes the infected part of the tooth and the nerve, allowing you to enjoy pain relief at last. We use small tools to expose the infected tooth and then clean each root canal individually. We then fill and seal the root canals and then protect the tooth with a filling or crown.

The cost of treatment does not include the crown. Dental crowns are placed after the initial treatment and will incur an additional fee.

Does Root Canal Treatment Hurt?

Root canal is one of those dental treatments that has earned a reputation for being particularly painful. This perception largely stems from the fact that many root canal procedures are performed while an active infection is present, making it more challenging to achieve complete numbness during the process.

Thankfully, we have advanced methods available to help numb the tooth before the treatment begins. You might experience some mild discomfort, but you should never be in pain. If you do experience pain, you can ask your dentist for more anaesthetic.

Will I Need a Crown After a Root Canal Treatment?

Without the tooth pulp, the blood supply to the tooth will be lost. This leaves the structure more vulnerable to fracture. The tooth may also be discoloured due to decay. To help protect the tooth, we often cover the tooth with a crown.

A crown is usually made from porcelain and helps to restore the tooth so you can continue to eat as normal. A crown will also correct any discolouration. On some teeth, a smaller restoration may be possible. These are known as on-lays, and they are like a small hat for your tooth, rather than a full-coverage crown.

The cost of treatment does not include the crown. Dental crowns are placed after the initial treatment and will incur an additional fee.
