services - root-canal
Needing a Root Canal can create a bit of anxiety,”Does it hurt?”, “Do they work?” The truth is root canal treatment is painless thanks to modern anaesthetics and performed correctly they are a very successful treatment.
When do we need a root-canal
A root canal is required when the nerve inside of a tooth becomes infected (abscess) or is dead (necrotic) and this is often accompanied by toothache. The nerve lives inside of the root of a tooth. A root canal treatment cleans the infected nerve out of the root space and the root space is then sealed to prevent reinfection.

How many appointments do you need
There is a lot of variation in the anatomy of root canals between Individuals. Molars are always the most complex root canal treatments as they have up to 5 canals to clean and seal.
Do I need a crown after my Root Canal Treatment?
We always recommend a Dental Crown once root canal treatment has been completed. The reason for this is when a root canal is finished the tooth is often very weak and fragile and If the tooth is not crowned you run the risk of a crack splitting the tooth and the tooth being lost.
