What can I expect during my Root Canal Treatment appointments?
Consultation
Our experienced endodontist, Dr Paul Morris, will examine your dental condition, including X-rays if necessary, to diagnose the issue accurately.
Personalised treatment plan
Based on the diagnosis, he will create a personalised treatment plan to address your specific needs.
Root canal procedure
Your dentist will first administer local anaesthesia. During the treatment, they will remove infected pulp, and then clean, seal, and fill the root canal to prevent further infection.
Healing and recovery
Post-treatment, your tooth will heal, and any discomfort should gradually subside. We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and, in some cases, a dental crown may be recommended to restore the strength and appearance of the treated tooth.
