The Root Canal Treatment Process

  • Consultation and Examination: Our experienced dentists will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your symptoms.

  • Digital Imaging: X-rays may be taken to visualise the extent of the infection.

  • Local Anaesthesia: To ensure your comfort, the area around the affected tooth will be numbed.

  • Removal of Infected Tissue: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canal is cleaned and disinfected.
