Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

Root canal treatment is usually comfortable and pain-free with effective local anaesthesia. Our team takes care to ensure patients feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure.

Some mild tenderness may occur afterwards and normally settles within a few days.

When Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?

You may need root canal treatment if you experience:

• Severe or throbbing toothache, particularly at night.
• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold drinks.
• Pain when biting or chewing.
• Swollen gums, dental abscesses or a small gum boil.
• A cracked, broken or discoloured tooth.
• Infection detected on a dental X-ray, even without pain.

Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the chances of saving your natural tooth.

Microscope Root Canal Treatment – Why Choose It?

At Atrium Clinic in West London, our endodontic expert performs root canal treatment using a dental operating microscope. High magnification and enhanced illumination allow us to see fine details inside the tooth and carry out complex procedures more precisely.

Microscope-assisted endodontic treatment enables us to:

• Locate narrow, curved or hidden root canals.
• Clean and disinfect root canals with greater precision.
• Perform root canal retreatment (re-root canal treatment).
• Remove broken endodontic instruments from root canals, where clinically possible.
• Manage complex root canal anatomy and challenging cases.

Our aim is to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while improving the chances of successful treatment.

How Is Root Canal Treatment Performed?

1. Examination and diagnosis

We assess the tooth using a clinical examination and digital X-rays. In more complex cases, a 3D dental CT scan may be recommended.

2. Local anaesthesia

The area is numbed to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

3. Microscope-assisted root canal cleaning

Infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the root canals are carefully cleaned, shaped and disinfected.

24. 2 Root canal filling

The canals are sealed using specialised materials to reduce the risk of reinfection.

5. Tooth restoration

Depending on the remaining tooth structure, the tooth is restored with a composite filling, ceramic onlay or dental crown to protect it and restore function.

Broken Root Canal Instrument Removal in West London

Occasionally, an endodontic instrument may break inside a root canal during previous treatment, making further cleaning and disinfection difficult.

At Atrium Clinic in Acton, we offer broken root canal file removal under a dental microscope.

Using magnification and specialised endodontic instruments, our experienced dentist can attempt to retrieve separated instruments while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

Successful removal depends on the position of the fragment, root canal anatomy and the condition of the tooth.

Root Canal Retreatment in Ealing, Acton & Chiswick

A previously root canal-treated tooth may occasionally develop a new infection or persistent symptoms.

Root canal retreatment, also known as endodontic retreatment, involves reopening the tooth, removing the existing root filling, cleaning and disinfecting the canals, and sealing them again.

With microscope-assisted techniques, we can assess difficult-to-access canals and investigate potential causes of previous treatment failure.

Root Canal Treatment or Tooth Extraction?

Whenever clinically possible, preserving your natural tooth is often preferable to extraction.

Root canal treatment can help maintain normal chewing function, preserve your natural smile and avoid the need for tooth replacement.

If the tooth cannot be saved, our dentists can discuss suitable alternatives, including dental implants, bridges or dentures.
