Root Canal Therapy at London Dental Specialists is a precise procedure designed to save infected or damaged teeth, alleviating pain and restoring oral health. The process begins with a thorough consultation and assessment to evaluate the tooth's condition. Following this, a customised treatment plan is developed, outlining the steps tailored to your specific needs. The treatment procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. Post-treatment care is essential to ensure proper healing and the longevity of the restored tooth.

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure designed to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of extracting it. During the treatment, our specialists at London Dental Specialists remove the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue), clean and disinfect the inner canals, and then fill and seal the space. This procedure eliminates pain and preserves the natural tooth structure, allowing it to continue functioning normally.
Root canal therapy at London Dental Specialists is not more painful than routine dental procedures like fillings. We use effective local anaesthesia to ensure you're comfortable throughout the treatment. Most patients report feeling only mild pressure during the procedure. While you may experience some soreness or numbness for a few days afterwards, this discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and subsides quickly. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure actually is compared to their expectations.
You might need root canal therapy when dental X-rays show that your tooth pulp has been damaged by bacterial infection. Common reasons include:
Symptoms indicating you might need root canal therapy include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when chewing, swollen gums, or darkening of the tooth.
Most patients at London Dental Specialists experience complete healing within one to two weeks after root canal therapy. The initial tenderness and mild discomfort typically subside within a few days. However, healing time can vary depending on the severity of the infection and your individual healing capacity. Following our post-treatment care instructions will help ensure optimal healing. If you experience severe pain or symptoms that worsen after treatment, you should contact us immediately.
A root canal procedure at London Dental Specialists typically takes between 60 to 90 minutes to complete for a single tooth. More complex cases or molars with multiple canals may require longer treatment times or additional appointments. Some cases might be completed in a single visit, while others might require two or more appointments depending on the complexity of the case and the presence of infection.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups at London Dental Specialists, root canal treatments can last a lifetime. The success rate for root canal therapy is very high, with over 95% of properly performed treatments remaining successful long-term. To ensure longevity, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene, attend regular dental examinations, and protect the treated tooth with a crown if recommended by our specialists.
After root canal therapy at London Dental Specialists, we'll provide specific aftercare instructions. Most patients can return to normal activities the same day. Your tooth may feel sensitive for a few days, which is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. In many cases, we'll recommend placing a crown on the treated tooth to provide long-term protection and restore full function. You'll need to continue regular dental check-ups to ensure the treated tooth remains healthy.
The main alternative to root canal therapy is tooth extraction. However, at London Dental Specialists, we always aim to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. While extraction might seem simpler initially, replacing a missing tooth with an implant, bridge, or denture is typically more costly and time-consuming than saving the natural tooth through root canal therapy. Additionally, preserving your natural tooth maintains proper chewing function and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting.
