Root canal treatment (RCT), also known as endodontic therapy, is a specialized dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely infected, decayed, or damaged. During the procedure, the infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels) is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and then filled and sealed.
We provide painless, effective root canal treatments that preserve your natural teeth and restore your oral health. With modern techniques and advanced anaesthesia, root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a routine filling.
Root canal treatment is necessary when the dental pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to:
Deep Tooth Decay: Extensive cavities that reach the pulp
Trauma or Injury: Cracked or fractured teeth exposing the pulp
Repeated Dental Procedures: Multiple fillings or crowns on the same tooth
Cracked or Broken Teeth: Cracks allowing bacteria to enter the pulp
Advanced Gum Disease: Infection spreading to the pulp
Common Signs You May Need a Root Canal:
Severe toothache or spontaneous pain
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
Pain while chewing or biting
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
A pimple-like bump on the gums (abscess)
Step 1: Consultation & Diagnosis
Your journey begins with a thorough examination. Dentist will take digital X-rays to assess the extent of infection and determine if root canal treatment is the best option.
Step 2: Anaesthesia & Isolation
Local anaesthesia is administered to ensure you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. The tooth is then isolated using a rubber dam to keep it clean and free of saliva.
Step 3: Access & Cleaning
A small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected pulp. The diseased pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected using specialized instruments and irrigation solutions.
Step 4: Filling & Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed with a permanent filling.
Step 5: Restoration (Crown Placement)
After the root canal, the tooth is weakened and needs protection. We place a custom-made crown (cap) to restore the tooth’s strength, function, and appearance.
Step 6: Follow-Up
We schedule a follow-up visit to ensure the tooth is healing properly and the crown fits comfortably.

No. With modern anaesthesia, root canal treatment is no more painful than getting a routine filling. The procedure actually relieves the pain caused by the infected pulp. You may experience mild sensitivity after the procedure, which is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
A typical root canal treatment takes 1-2 appointments, each lasting 60-90 minutes. Complex cases or multi-rooted teeth may require additional appointments.
With proper care and a well-placed crown, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.
Yes. After root canal treatment, the tooth becomes brittle and is more susceptible to fracture. A crown protects the tooth and restores its strength and function.
Our goal is to provide friendly, caring dentistry and highest level of general, cosmetic, and specialist dental treatments.
