Root Canal Treatment
Understand your options for keeping a tooth.
A recommendation for root canal treatment can raise questions about the procedure and what comes next. We will explain the findings, discuss your options and help you understand the proposed care.
What does root canal treatment involve?
Root canal treatment addresses infection inside a tooth. The affected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned and filled, and the tooth is sealed. The aim is to retain a tooth where this is clinically appropriate.
Planning the whole restoration
Your assessment considers both the root canal treatment and the care needed to restore the tooth afterwards. A filling or crown may be required, depending on the condition of the tooth.

Coordinating treatment and restoration
If a crown is recommended after root canal treatment, the restorative stage can be coordinated with our in-house laboratory. Your dentist will explain the proposed sequence for your tooth.
Questions patients ask
Will treatment take one appointment?
More than one visit may be needed. Your dentist will explain the expected sequence for your tooth.
Will I automatically need an implant instead?
No. The decision begins with assessing the tooth and the options for retaining it. If extraction is recommended, the reasons and replacement options should be discussed.
What if I remain concerned after treatment?
