Pulp capping is a dental procedure aimed at protecting and preserving the health of a tooth's pulp when it becomes exposed due to decay or injury. At London Dental Specialists, we follow a meticulous process to ensure the success of this treatment. Our approach includes an initial consultation and assessment to evaluate the extent of pulp exposure, followed by the development of a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. The procedure itself involves carefully cleaning the affected area, applying a biocompatible protective material over the exposed pulp, and restoring the tooth with a suitable filling or crown. Post-treatment care is essential, and we provide detailed guidance to support healing and maintain the vitality of your tooth. By adhering to this comprehensive process, we aim to preserve your natural tooth structure and prevent the need for more extensive treatments.

Pulp capping is a dental procedure designed to protect the pulp when it becomes exposed or nearly exposed due to decay or trauma. It's necessary when the pulp is exposed but remains healthy and shows no signs of infection. At London Dental Specialists, we perform two types of pulp capping: direct pulp capping (placing bioactive material directly over exposed pulp) and indirect pulp capping (placing a protective material over a thin layer of remaining dentine). This procedure helps preserve the tooth's vitality and prevents the need for more invasive treatments like root canal therapy.
At London Dental Specialists, we protect exposed dental pulp through two primary approaches:
Both techniques aim to promote pulp healing, stimulate the formation of reparative dentine, and preserve the tooth's vitality while preventing bacterial contamination.
Pulp capping offers several advantages over root canal treatment when appropriate for your situation:
Our specialists at London Dental Specialists will determine if pulp capping is suitable for your specific case based on the extent of pulp exposure and its condition.
At London Dental Specialists, we use clinically proven bioactive materials for pulp capping procedures, including:
These materials promote healing, stimulate the formation of reparative dentine, and provide an effective seal against bacterial infiltration. Our specialists select the most appropriate material based on the specific clinical situation and the latest evidence-based research.
Pulp capping at London Dental Specialists is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. You might experience mild sensitivity for a few days following treatment, particularly to temperature changes or pressure. This discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers and subsides as the pulp heals and forms new protective dentine. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to minimise any post-treatment discomfort and ensure optimal healing.
Direct pulp capping at London Dental Specialists is indicated in the following situations:
Our specialists thoroughly assess each case to determine if direct pulp capping is the most appropriate treatment option for preserving your tooth's vitality.
When performed by our specialists at London Dental Specialists under ideal conditions, pulp capping has a high success rate of approximately 80-90% for direct pulp capping and over 90% for indirect pulp capping. With proper care and regular check-ups, a successful pulp cap can last indefinitely. Factors affecting longevity include the size of the exposure, the time between exposure and treatment, the patient's age and health, and the quality of the final restoration. We monitor treated teeth at follow-up appointments to ensure continued success and address any concerns promptly.
Preventing pulpal exposure is always preferable to treatment. London Dental Specialists recommends these preventive measures:
Early intervention is key—if you experience tooth sensitivity or pain, contact London Dental Specialists promptly for assessment.
After a pulp capping procedure at London Dental Specialists, follow these aftercare instructions:
Proper aftercare significantly contributes to the long-term success of the pulp capping procedure and helps maintain your tooth's vitality.
