Root Canal

  • What is a Root Canal?

    A Root Canal is for teeth that cannot survive with just a tooth filling. Sometimes, decay or a crack can allow bacteria to travel down the tooth and cause an infection. A Root Canal involves highly specialised equipment to clear the bacteria and remove the infection. Depending on which tooth is treated, we may recommend a crown on top since it is likely the tooth is weak. When a crown is installed, you can keep eating, drinking and talking as you wish, without any discomfort

  • How long is a Root Canal treatment?

    Root canals range from 1-3 appointments depending on the tooth and its condition.

  • Does a Root Canal hurt?

    Our dentists share a deep interest in painless Root Canal treatment. There is a common misconception that Root Canals are painful, not with us! This is because we make sure you are comfortable with these simple steps:

    • The tooth and the area around it is completely numb
    • A little bite block keeps your mouth open so your jaw and muscles can rest and relax
    • A TV is turned on for you to watch and entertain yourself
