The Root Canal Process

Our step-by-step approach ensures your root canal treatment is comfortable and successful

Examination & Diagnosis

We begin with a thorough examination including digital X-rays to assess the extent of infection or damage. Using our dental microscope, we can identify all root canals and create a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Anesthesia & Comfort

Using The Wand computerized anesthesia system, we ensure you're completely comfortable throughout the procedure. For extremely anxious patients, we offer sedation options to make your experience completely relaxed.

Cleaning & Shaping

We create a small access opening to reach the infected pulp. Using rotary instruments and our microscope, we carefully clean and shape the root canals to remove all infected tissue and bacteria, then disinfect the area thoroughly.

Filling & Sealing

The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed with dental cement. This prevents future infection and provides stability to the tooth structure.

Restoration

After root canal treatment, the tooth is restored with a filling or crown to protect it and restore full function. We typically recommend a crown for back teeth to provide maximum protection against fracture.

Aftercare & Follow-up

We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure your tooth is healing properly. With proper care, most root canal treatments last a lifetime.

Root Canal Success Stories

Hear from our patients about their root canal experiences

"Can’t praise them enough, I had an infection in my tooth over the Christmas period which caused so much pain, my original dentist gave me tablets but couldn’t help anymore. After multiple sleepless nights I messaged Ismail for advice, within 24 hrs he had removed the infection and I was able to sleep again pain free. I cannot recommend Ismail and Naznin highly enough for interrupting their own personal time to help me. Thank you guys so much"

Root canal patient

"I had a great experience at this practice! It has a lovely atmosphere. Staff were really kind and welcoming. Dr Ismail Qazi is a very professional, caring, efficient and highly skilled Dentist with an excellent eye for detail. He answered all my questions and I was very comfortable throughout my root canal treatment. I would highly recommend this practice!"

Annette R

Root canal retreatment patient

"After being in need of a dentist for my son over the bank holiday weekend and phoning a few, I either got an answer phone or no answer. I came across Bourne Dental Sobo. Ismael the dentist answered and made an appointment for a couple of hours later. We were put at ease on arrival, and made to feel very welcome. Ismael was extremely knowledgeable , professional, and considerate. My son who usually dislikes going to the dentist ended up having a root canal. He felt very comfortable throughout the whole procedure, which took around two hours. We were both so impressed with this dentist, his assistant and his clinic. We will be regulars from now on😊"

Frequently Asked Questions

Modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed. With advanced anesthesia techniques like The Wand computerized delivery system, most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.

The pain people often associate with root canals is actually the pain of the infection before treatment, not the treatment itself. Root canal therapy relieves this pain by removing the source of infection.

The duration of root canal treatment depends on several factors:

Tooth location: Front teeth typically take 60-90 minutes, while back teeth with multiple roots can take 90-120 minutes
Complexity: Teeth with curved or narrow canals, or retreatment cases, may require additional time
Technology: Our use of high magnification loupes and rotary instruments often reduces treatment time

Most root canals are completed in one or two appointments. We'll give you a time estimate after your examination.

Saving your natural tooth with root canal treatment has several advantages over extraction:

Natural function: Your tooth continues to function normally for biting and chewing
Preserves bone: Keeping your natural tooth prevents bone loss that occurs after extraction
Maintains appearance: Your natural tooth looks better than any replacement
Cost-effective: Root canal treatment is typically less expensive than extraction followed by a bridge or implant
Protects adjacent teeth: Doesn't require altering nearby teeth as with a bridge

With proper care, a tooth that has had root canal treatment can last a lifetime. The success rate for root canal treatment is over 95%.

To ensure the longevity of your treated tooth:

Practice good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings
Avoid chewing extremely hard foods with the treated tooth
Consider a crown for back teeth to provide extra protection

We'll provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to your situation.
