Save Your Natural Tooth with Expert Root Canal Treatment

A severely damaged or infected tooth doesn’t always need to be removed. Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure that removes infection from inside the tooth, relieves pain, and preserves your natural tooth whenever possible. By treating the infected pulp, root canal therapy helps restore your tooth’s health, function, and strength while preventing the spread of infection.

At Freemans Bay Dental, we use modern techniques and gentle care to make root canal treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible, helping you get back to smiling with confidence.

Relieve Tooth Pain and Save Your Natural Tooth

Root canal is a fine space inside the tooth which contains dental pulp consisting of nerves and blood vessels. If the dental pulp becomes diseased or dies, a toothache or an abscess may occur.

A root canal removes the pulp chamber of the tooth but not the roots of the tooth. The pulp chamber is then filled with a suitable filling material.
 
Usually painful symptoms improve once treatment is started. Using latest techniques, and advanced materials, our expert dental surgeons make this procedure quite comfortable for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive examination and digital X-rays to assess the affected tooth. A local anaesthetic is used to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

The infected pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the canals are sealed with a specialised filling material. In many cases, a custom dental crown is recommended to restore the tooth’s strength and protect it from future damage.

Depending on the complexity of the case, treatment may be completed in one or two appointments.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment is a procedure used to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and save the natural tooth.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
You may need a root canal if you have persistent tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, swollen gums, a dental abscess, or a tooth that has become discoloured. Your dentist will examine your tooth and may take X-rays to confirm the diagnosis.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthetic, making the procedure no more uncomfortable than having a filling. Most patients experience little to no pain during treatment, and any discomfort afterwards is usually mild and temporary.
How long does a root canal treatment take?
The length of treatment depends on the condition of the tooth and the complexity of the infection. Many root canals can be completed in one appointment, while some cases may require two visits.
Will I need a dental crown after a root canal?
In many cases, yes. A dental crown is often recommended, especially for back teeth, to strengthen and protect the treated tooth from cracking or further damage.
What happens if I don't have a root canal?
Without treatment, the infection can spread, causing increased pain, swelling, bone loss, and potentially leading to tooth extraction. Early treatment helps preserve your natural tooth and prevents more serious complications.
