Root Canal Treatment

At Divine Smiles, we plan your treatment carefully and pay close attention to your comfort and every detail.

During the procedure:
– The infected or inflamed tissue is gently removed.
– The internal canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
– The space is carefully shaped and sealed.
– The tooth is restored to function.

Thanks to modern techniques and local anaesthetic, most people find the procedure about as comfortable as getting a filling. Many are surprised by how straightforward it is.

Our team has a lot of experience in restorative dentistry, which is important for root canal therapy and we would love to help relieve your pain.

Root canal treatment needs a careful approach. The inside of teeth can be tricky, with narrow canals, curved roots, and other unique features. Successful outcomes depend on:
– Accurate diagnosis
– Detailed imaging
– Meticulous cleaning
– Precise sealing
– Proper restoration afterward

At Divine Smiles, we use advanced imaging and our restorative skills to make your treatment more predictable and help your tooth last as long as possible.

People often delay treatment out of fear of pain, but unfortunately dental infections won’t go away by themselves. If left untreated:
– Pain often intensifies.
– Swelling may develop.
– An abscess can form.
– Infection can spread into the surrounding bone.

If the infection gets worse, the tooth might not be able to be saved and removal could be the only option. In rare but serious cases, untreated dental infections can require urgent hospital care.Getting treatment early is always simpler, safer and more predictable. If you’re worried about pain, please talk to our team and we can discuss options.

After a root canal, the tooth no longer has its nerve supply, over time this can make it more brittle and likely to crack. The highest risk period for cracking is in the months immediately after treatment.

A crown:
– Protects the tooth from splitting.
– Restores strength and function.
– Rebuilds shape and structure.
– Improves long-term survival.

If you wait too long for a crown, you might lose your tooth suddenly if it breaks, instead of keeping it for years. We plan restorations carefully to ensure your tooth remains stable and functional.

A root canal treatment is a way to keep your natural tooth for the long term.

Costs vary depending on:
– Which tooth is involved.
– The complexity of the root structure.
– Whether a crown is required.

After we assess your tooth, we’ll give you a clear, personalised treatment plan and a detailed quote. In most cases, saving a natural tooth is significantly more cost effective in the long term than extraction followed by an implant or bridge replacement.

We also offer payment plans to help you get started without delay.

If you are experiencing:
– Persistent toothache.
– Pain when biting.
– Sensitivity that lingers.
– Swelling in the gum.
– A pimple-like bump near a tooth.

Don’t wait to get checked. The sooner we look at your tooth, the better and more predictable the results will be.
