Saving Your Natural Tooth
When the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment can ease discomfort and help you keep the tooth rather than having it removed.
Relieves Pain
Treatment removes the source of infection inside the tooth, which can ease ongoing discomfort.
Keeps Your Tooth
It is designed to save your natural tooth, helping you avoid an extraction where possible.
Protects Your Bite
Keeping your natural tooth helps maintain your bite and the teeth around it.
Comfort-Focused
The area is numbed and we take a gentle approach, talking you through each step.
Restored Afterwards
A treated tooth is usually restored with a filling or crown to protect it long term.

Easing Pain, Saving Teeth

What Happens During Root Canal Treatment Glenmore Park
Root canal treatment usually takes two or three visits. We numb the tooth with local anaesthetic, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, then seal it. Because a root-filled tooth can become brittle, we often recommend a crown afterwards to protect it. Some teeth cannot be saved, and in that case we will talk you through a tooth extraction and replacement options. Healthdirect’s guide to dental procedures explains more.
