Root Canal Treatment

Comfortable endodontic treatment to save an infected tooth rather than lose it.

Comfortable treatment

Modern anaesthetics and techniques mean it's usually no more uncomfortable than a filling.

Stops the pain

Most patients feel relief as soon as the infected nerve is treated.

Avoids extraction

Saving a tooth avoids the cost and complexity of replacing it later.

Restored strength

A crown or filling afterwards protects the tooth for years of normal use.
