About Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that has been seriously decayed or injured. The infected pulp is removed, canals are cleaned and sterilised, then sealed to stop the spread of infection.
Modern root canal treatment is comfortable and effective. Our experienced team uses the latest techniques and technology to ensure your procedure is painless and your tooth is preserved for life.

Signs You May Need Treatment
These symptoms indicate you may need root canal therapy — don't ignore them.
Chronic tooth pain that worsens when biting down or applying pressure to the affected tooth.
Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold temperatures that lingers after the source is removed.
Swelling or tenderness around the affected tooth and in the surrounding gum tissue.
Darkening or discolouration of the tooth indicating damage to the internal pulp tissue.
Formation of a pimple or abscess on the gums near the affected tooth — a sign of infection.
Persistent bad taste or odour in the mouth caused by infection draining from the tooth.
How It Works
Comprehensive examination with X-rays and 3D imaging to precisely evaluate the tooth's condition and plan accurate, effective treatment.
Local anaesthesia ensures the procedure is completely painless. Sedation is available for anxious patients. A small access hole is created in the crown of the tooth.
The infected pulp is carefully removed. Canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected using specialised instruments and antimicrobial solutions.
Canals are filled with biocompatible gutta-percha and sealed. A crown or permanent filling is placed to protect and strengthen the tooth long-term.
