Root canal treatment is sometimes necessary for patients who visit our clinic because there is damage deep inside a tooth. Endodontic treatment is concerned with the pulp chamber and root canals that contain your teeth’s pulp or living tissue.
Our root canal treatment experts understand that this pulp, although it is often referred to as ‘nerve’, contains a fine network of tissue fibres, nerves and blood vessels. If a tooth has a large cavity that reaches the pulp chamber or if a tooth has been damaged, the pulp is left open to exposure to bacteria.
It is important to ensure prompt root canal treatment because painful abscesses often form in the jawbone once root canals become infected. At 75 Harley Street, London, we understand the importance of immediate and effective root canal treatment.
Many people worry about having root canal treatment in London, so at our Harley Street clinic we do our very best to explain why root canal treatment is necessary, the purpose of our expert intervention and any procedures that will be involved.
Any root canal treatment aims to remove bacteria from inside the tooth and ensure that the root canals are then carefully disinfected. Root canal treatment procedure isn’t as invasive as it sounds - a small hole is made through the damaged tooth into the pulp chamber.
Once we have done this, we locate and measure the root canals and then use fine instruments called files to clean them. In addition, a cocktail of irrigants are used to chemically disinfect the inside of the root canals.
Our Harley Street root canal treatment team will explain any possibility of post-procedure discomfort, which is usually negligible and very short term.
Each of our patients has a different and very individual root canal treatment requirement. This means that the time required for root canal treatment will differ according to the complexity of the procedure. Re-treatment, can also take longer than the initial treatment.
Before your root canal treatment, you will be asked to come to 75 Harley Street, London, for an initial consultation. Once your tooth is assessed, a diagnosis is made and treatment is discussed with you, you will be required to return for a treatment appointment that lasts one to two hours.
If you have any concerns about the necessary time for root canal treatment, please speak to our expert team. For some patients it may be possible to complete treatment in one extended appointment.
Our root canal treatments enjoy a very high level of success. However, it is important to remember that success cannot always be guaranteed for any medical procedure.
Our clinic here in London offers the very best treatment, equipment and magnification. However, occasionally there are circumstances outside of the control of our root canal specialists that limit healing.
Root canal treatment is sometimes necessary for patients who visit our clinic because there is damage deep inside a tooth. Endodontic treatment is concerned with the pulp chamber and root canals that contain your teeth’s pulp or living tissue.
Root canal treatment is a minor surgical procedure and must be undertaken at our clinic at 75 Harley Street, London. However, do let us know from your first visit if you are nervous in any way about your root canal treatment.
We pride ourselves in offering individual solutions for nervous patients. If, after a chat with our Harley Street team, you still have concerns, we can arrange oral or intravenous sedation.
As your safety is of paramount concern, the presence of an anaesthetist is recommended whenever any such sedation is required.
Signs you may need root canal therapy include:
At 75 Harley Street, we are quick to reassure patients that root canal treatment is not painful. Our Harley Street specialists use local anaesthesia throughout the root canal treatment.
Because root canal treatment involves work deep inside your tooth, you will require x-rays to ensure an accurate picture of what is happening and exactly what root canal treatment is necessary.
Issues that involve the inside of your tooth are unlikely to get better on their own. If you suspect that you have an infection or are feeling any type of discomfort we recommend that you make an appointment at 75 Harley Street, London as soon as possible and allow our team to examine you and suggest further action. Any delay in seeking expert help may lead to a failure to remove infection and necessitate the extraction of the tooth.
Sometimes a tooth can be so damaged that root canal treatment is not recommended. When you visit our clinic in Harley Street, London for your initial consultation appointment we will examine your mouth carefully, answer your root canal questions and explain our recommendations. If your tooth is not suitable for root canal treatment our London Harley Street team may recommend extraction and replacement with a tooth implant or a dental bridge. We have experts in both fields based here at 75 Harley Street, London.
In general root canal treatment has a high success rate of around 95%. At 75 Harley Street we have assembled the very best in expertise and state-of-the-art equipment and have very stable and predictable results. However, even with the best of treatment, there may be additional circumstances, outside the control of our team, that lead to a lack of healing. This doesn’t happen often but our Harley Street team can take other steps to eliminate the infection should the necessity occur.
We recommend ibuprofen and paracetamol if there are no medical contraindications to taking them. Our specialist will discuss means of pain control with you in detail, taking your medical history into account.
Root canal treatment may be carried out in a single visit or multiple visits. Our specialist endodontist will assess the tooth, root canal anatomy and extent of infection before determining whether more than one appointment is necessary. For instance if there is pus inside the root canals, then a dressing is placed and a second visit arranged.
We may still be able to save a tooth through a minor surgical procedure called an apicoectomy. Rather than access the diseased area through the tooth crown as with a root canal treatment, an apicoectomy makes access to the infected tissue at the root end.
An apicoectomy also differs from a root canal treatment in that we'll need to surgically go through the gum tissue. After numbing the area with a local anesthetic, we'll make a small incision through the gums at the level of the infection. After removing any infected tissue, we would then fill the space with a small filling to prevent re-infection. We then close the incised gum tissues with sutures and allow them to heal.
Giving a patient antibiotics before a dental treatment is known as antibiotic prophylaxis. For patients with certain conditions, this is recommended before undergoing dental treatment that poses a risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream. When oral bacteria enter the bloodstream, it can put patients with compromised health at risk of developing an infection elsewhere in the body.
It is important that you follow your dentist’s instructions following root canal treatment. Sometimes, your dentist will prescribe antibiotics, but other times, they will hold off. Many people are surprised to find out that the overuse of antibiotics can also cause issues, as bacteria can adapt to resist antibiotics. For this reason, most dentists take a “wait and see” approach when it comes to antibiotics.
A successful root canal is no longer painful, although it may take a few days to settle as the dentist will have instrumented and aggravated the tissues around the end of the tooth. There should be no symptoms or tenderness. A failed root canal will not get better without treatment.
A successful root canal can cause mild pain for a few days. This is temporary, and should go away on its own as long as you practice good oral hygiene. You should see your dentist for a follow-up if the pain lasts longer than three days.
As soon as possible after the tooth is no longer symptomatic.
Yes, majority of our clients go to work straight away. You may be numb for some time after your treatment so we recommend that you are careful and avoid eating until the numbness wears off.
"Amazing experience having my root canal done. Time and care was taken. Top of the range equipment and I was even able to listen to my 90's RnB playlist!"
"An incredible establishment, high quality of care and professional staff. From being greeted by Carmen, to having treatment by Dr. Sanei and having my hand held by his lovely nurse; I felt safe and in very good hands. My crowns are natural looking and felt comfortable from day one. One of my back teeth was root treated by Dr. Rahbaran who managed to do a fantastic job despite my limited opening. The hygienist was also very thorough. I never thought I would actually look forward to my dental visits but I do now!"
