What is a root canal?
Root canal therapy (endodontics) treats inflammation or infection inside the tooth's pulp, which contains blood vessels, connective tissue, and nerve tissue that can trigger severe pain. Despite common myths, our root canal treatment feels similar to getting a simple filling — it removes the source of discomfort and restores lasting oral health.
What Is a Root Canal And Why It's Often Misunderstood
Root canal therapy (endodontics) treats inflammation or infection inside the tooth’s pulp, which contains blood vessels, connective tissue, and nerve tissue that can trigger severe pain.
Despite common myths, our root canal treatment feels similar to getting a simple filling. Instead of causing pain, this dental procedure removes the source of discomfort and restores lasting oral health.
The Root Canal Process Comfort-Focused, Expert Care
Here’s what you can expect:
Diagnosis & Numbing
We begin by fully numbing the area so you feel little to no discomfort.
Pulp Removal
We create a small opening and gently remove infected tissue, then clean, disinfect, and shape the canals.
Sealing
We seal the canals with a biocompatible material that blocks bacteria and prevents reinfection.
Crown Placement
Finally, we place a dental crown to restore strength, function, and aesthetics.

Caring for Your Tooth After Treatment
After your procedure, it’s normal to feel slight sensitivity. To promote healing and protect your tooth:
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, if needed
- Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated side until the dental crown is placed
- Brush and floss gently but thoroughly
- Return for follow-up visits to monitor healing and finalise your restoration

Frequently Asked Questions
No. We fully numb your tooth, and most patients report little or no discomfort afterward.
Typically, we complete the root canal in one visit. However, complex cases may require a short follow-up for sealing or crown placement.
Keeping your natural tooth helps maintain alignment, chewing strength, and oral structure — key to a natural, confident smile.
Most patients resume normal activities within a day or two. Any mild sensitivity fades quickly with OTC pain relievers.
We recommend a dental crown after root canal therapy to strengthen and protect the treated tooth for long-term durability.
