Even as dentists, we totally get it. Patients aren’t exactly enamoured with the idea of having a root canal.

But we aren’t joking when we say that getting a root canal isn’t the anxiety-inducing process it used to be – so many of our patients are actually gobsmacked with how painless it is.

Root canal treatment – a glow-up

A leopard can change its spots. Thanks to significant strides in anaesthesia, sterilisation and decay removal, root canal treatment has undergone a glow-up.

As a dental practice championing the highest level of care and treatment, we don’t cut corners on using the most up-to-date equipment to treat you.

Peacock Dental Spa

Root canal treatment – what is it?

Root canal treatment treats dental infections that affect the living tissues inside a tooth. The process involves the use of a local anaesthetic to numb your tooth. We’ll then work carefully to remove the infected bits that have no business being there.

Once your tooth is infection-free again, we will place a filling or crown to fit over the top.

The benefits of root canal treatment

Root canal doesn’t just ‘benefit’ you, it literally saves you from needing an extraction, which means if your dentist has suggested it, it really is worth going ahead.

At Peacock, we understand the need for our patients to actually see the ‘why?’ that underpins the need for a suggested treatment. We don’t want you to feel like you’re being sold to, especially when it comes to a restorative and clinically orientated treatment like root canal treatment.

We use digital imaging technology to show you exactly what is happening in your mouth, so that you can feel confident casting the deciding vote about how you would like to proceed.

You won’t regret taking steps to save your tooth – here’s why:

  • Root canal alleviates your dental pain: Because (surprise, surprise), a dental infection can be really bloomin’ painful!
  • You will be protecting your health: Root canal treatment stops the spread of an infection to other parts of the mouth and body.
  • Your tooth will no longer look infected: Infected teeth can often turn a darkish colour. No one wants a dark tooth – except maybe Jaws from James Bond (we’ve not come across a patient after that look in the 25+ years we’ve worked as dentists!).

    The crown or filling we place will be a natural white shade that matches your neighbouring teeth. We’re sure you don’t need us to tell you that this can and will have a positive impact on your confidence.

Our promises to you

  • Pain-free guarantee.
  • On-time guarantee.
  • Extended guarantee for our members (3 years on recommended treatments).
  • Call back guarantee: We understand that our patients’ time is precious. If we say we’ll call you, we will always do so on time, never leaving you hanging.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

Is root canal treatment painless?

We won’t be disingenuous and say that there isn’t a mild level of discomfort associated with the root canal process; however, this is after the procedure, when your mouth starts to heal, and it’s very mild. This discomfort is completely manageable with over-the-counter medication, and the vast majority of our patients go back to work after their procedure with no problems.

How does root canal treatment work?

  1. We will take a digital X-ray (these are lower in radiation than traditional X-rays). You and your dentist will then have a clear image of the damage sustained.
  2. Your tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic. We can also offer sedation if you’re a bit nervous. Sedation removes any feelings of anxiety, so it’s perfect for nervous patients.
  3. Your dentist will remove the infected bits from inside your teeth.
  4. A special sealant is used to prevent more bacteria from entering the tooth in the future.
  5. A crown or filling is used to protect the tooth and to restore its appearance.
  6. A full, easy-to-follow aftercare plan is provided (all in layman’s terms and free from any dental jargon!)

How long does root canal treatment take?

We never like to give a specific time, as it really is all about the oral health status of the individual. Typically, it can take between 60 and 90 minutes to complete – some cases can take longer if the infection is severe, or there are rare anomalies.

2-3 appointments are usually needed.
