ROOT CANAL TREATMENT & RE-TREATMENT
Relieve Pain. Save Your Natural Tooth.

What Is Root Canal Treatment & Re-treatment?
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canal to stop infection — while re-treatment addresses a previously treated tooth that has become reinfected or hasn't healed properly.
Diagnosis (The Starting Point)
X-rays pinpoint the infection or damage inside the tooth's root canal system before treatment begins.
Pulp Removal (The Cleanup)
The infected or inflamed pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed to eliminate pain and infection.
Cleaning & Shaping (The Disinfection)
The root canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and shaped to prepare for filling.
Filling & Sealing (The Protection)
The cleaned canals are filled and sealed, then typically capped with a crown to restore strength.
Who Might Need Root Canal Treatment?
Severe or persistent tooth pain
Deep decay reaching the tooth pulp
Swelling or abscess near a tooth
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Failed or infected previous root canal
Our Root Canal Treatment Process
Examination & X-Ray
We assess your symptoms and take an X-ray to locate infection or damage inside the tooth.
Local Anesthesia
The area is numbed completely so the procedure is comfortable and pain-free.
Cleaning the Canal
Infected pulp is removed and the root canal system is cleaned, disinfected and shaped.
Filling & Sealing
The canal is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Crown Placement
A crown is usually placed over the treated tooth to restore strength and protect it long-term.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Relieves severe tooth pain and infection
Saves your natural tooth instead of extraction
Stops infection from spreading to surrounding teeth
Restores normal biting and chewing function
Prevents further bone or gum damage
Long-lasting with a protective crown
Does It Hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during treatment. In fact, root canal treatment is what relieves the pain caused by infection, not the cause of it.
Recovery & Aftercare
Avoid chewing on the treated side initially
Brush and floss gently as usual
Take prescribed medication as directed
Expect mild soreness for a few days
Get the permanent crown fitted promptly
Is It Suitable For You?
Root canal treatment suits anyone with a badly decayed, infected or previously treated tooth that's causing pain or discomfort. Your dentist will take an X-ray and assess your tooth to confirm the right approach.

Root Canal Treatment & Re-treatment FAQs
The procedure itself is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain. In fact, root canal treatment relieves the pain caused by infection rather than causing it.
Treatment Cost
The cost of root canal treatment or re-treatment depends on the tooth involved, the complexity of the case, and whether a crown is needed. Book a consultation for a personalized evaluation and treatment estimate.
