Dental infections don’t have to inevitably destroy your dental health.

When performed at the earliest possible opportunity, your dentist here at Lim Dental Practice can turn your oral health around with root canal treatment, giving you back your oral health and function.

Introduction to root canal treatment

Treatment time: 2-3 appointments. Root canal procedure = 30-90 minutes.
Repairs: Severe dental infections caused by dental trauma and decay.
Results: Prevents dental extractions/reverses symptoms related to dental infections.
Anaesthetic and drilling: Yes.

Why choose to undergo root canal treatment?

Our dentists will only ever advise and recommend that you go ahead with treatment rather than push you or ‘sell’ you a treatment.

We do strongly recommend going ahead with root canal treatment if your dentist has suggested it, as it could mean the difference between preserving your tooth and extracting it.

How does root canal treatment work?

Step 1: Examination with your dentist.
Step 2: Recommendations from your dentist. In many cases, the tooth can indeed be saved with a root canal, though occasionally, an extraction may be the most sensible course of action.
Step 3: An anaesthetic is applied, and the root canals are cleaned. Your dentist will remove the decayed substance and seal the tooth.
Step 4: A crown is custom-made to fit over the treated tooth. This will restore its aesthetic and make it much easier to bite and chew than when your tooth was inducing unpleasant symptoms.
Step 5: Your dentist will provide you with instructions on short- and long-term aftercare.

FAQs

How do I know I need root canal treatment?

It can be challenging to pick up on dental infections until it’s too late. Your check-ups with our friendly team of dentists here at Lim Dental are a vital opportunity to have (what can often be symptomless problems like dental infections) picked up on.

This said, some common symptoms include:

  • An unpleasant taste around a tooth.
  • Your tooth looks darker/greyer than normal.
  • Extreme sensitivity affects just one tooth.
  • Pain that stops you from getting on with your normal routine.

Why is a dental infection problematic?

Bacterial infections destroy the living tissues (the pulp) inside your tooth. This can cause inflammation, giving bacteria the opportunity to thrive and cause an intensely painful abscess or even greater health problems such as a stroke or sepsis. Treatment will save your tooth from extraction and isolate the issue (as long as it’s caught relatively early on).

Why choose Lim Dental Practice for root canal treatment and restorative dental treatments?

We are proud to have Dr Ramandeep Marway at our sister practice at Hanwell Dental Centre, 20 Church Road, W7 1DR.

He is a dentist who has a special interest in performing root canal cases. He has completed a Master’s Training at the prestigious Eastman Institute. We also have access to an Endodontic Microscope to provide high-quality care.

Once treatment has been completed, a post-case report, including radiographs, will be provided to you.
