Technology That Sets Us Apart
Few specialists in the UK use laser-assisted disinfection—a cutting-edge, high-cost technology that ensures unparalleled cleanliness of root canals, improving treatment success and maintaining tooth strength. As true innovators, we develop and implement protocols that aren’t used anywhere else in the UK.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Unlike standard X-rays, we use an ultra-low dose 3D (CBCT) scan combined with advanced software to diagnose lesions and track healing precisely. This level of accuracy ensures the best possible treatment decisions—something few, if any, clinics offer at this level.

Endodontics FAQs: Your Questions Answered
We’re here to help you understand every step of your endodontic journey. Below, we answer
common questions about root canal treatments, endodontics, and dental care.
What is Root Canal or Endodontics?
Root canal treatment is a way to save a tooth that has been damaged by deep decay, breakage or infection. The purpose of treatment is to restore the tooth to good health so it can function properly inside your mouth. An endodontist is a specialist in root canal treatment.
Why should a tooth need to be root treated?
Deep inside every tooth is a pulp chamber and root canals that contain living tissue called the pulp. The pulp is often mistakenly referred to as the ‘nerve’, but in fact it contains a fine network of tissue fibres, nerves and blood vessels. If a large cavity in a tooth reaches the pulp chamber, or if a tooth breaks, bacteria can reach the pulp. These bacteria damage the pulp and eventually destroy it. The root canals become infected and inevitably an abscess forms beneath the root of the tooth, in the jaw bone. Pain (occasionally severe) may occur at any time during this process, although it does not always, and the infection can spread.
How is Root Canal Treatment done?
The purpose of the treatment is to remove the bacteria or dying nerves from inside the tooth and to disinfect the root canals. This is achieved by making a small hole through the tooth into the pulp chamber, locating and measuring the root canals, then cleaning and widening them using fine instruments called files. Once clean, the canals are filled to seal them off from reinfection. In most cases abscesses will start to heal at this point. Changes on the x-ray are not usually seen for up to six to eight months following treatment.
Is it painful?
No. Local anaesthesia is used throughout the procedure and every possible step is taken to ensure you are comfortable while the work is carried out. On very rare occasions, some teeth are particularly sensitive, but a number of techniques are available to enable even these teeth to be tackled. Following treatment you will be informed of the possibility of discomfort from the area. This is usually minor and does not last long. Occasionally (5% incidence) the tooth can flare up, giving rise to significant pain. Should this occur the acute symptoms are usually treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories (painkillers). A flare-up is an unfortunate and rare occurrence and is related to factors such as host response and bacterial virulence. It does not mean the tooth has a lower chance of successfully being treated.
Are a large number of X-Rays taken?
The only way to ascertain what is happening inside and underneath teeth is through the use of x-rays. X-ray pictures inside the mouth produce only very small doses of radiation and pose virtually no danger. However, to further reduce risk, the surgery has the latest computerised x-ray system and a high-frequency x-ray tube. This reduces the already small radiation dose by a further 75%-80% and means that for the same dose of one regular mouth x-ray, four computerised x-rays can be taken. For most endodontics, only two or three x-rays are required.
How long does treatment take?
This can vary according to the complexity of the root canals, the presence of infection, or if retreatment is being carried out. Sometimes treatment can be carried out in one session lasting between one and two-and-a-half hours. If the canals are infected or are being retreated it is usually necessary to place an antibacterial dressing in the tooth. This is sealed in for a few weeks before a further appointment.
