Our approach
A clear diagnosis first, then a planned treatment
We listen to your symptoms and examine the tooth, with an X-ray or 3D scan when needed. This shows whether root canal treatment is needed and whether the tooth can be saved.
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic. The number of visits depends on the tooth; the stages and aftercare are explained in advance.
Why it matters
What root canal treatment aims for
- Keeping the affected tooth instead of extracting it.
- Removing infected tissue to help stop it spreading.
- Strengthening the tooth afterwards with a filling or crown.
- Preserving chewing function.
How it works
The main stages of root canal treatment
Examination and imaging

Cleaning and filling
Under local anaesthetic, the canals are cleaned, shaped and filled.
Restoration and follow-up
The tooth is restored with a filling or crown and healing is monitored.
