Root Canal Treatment: Relief From Dental Pain.
Save Your Tooth. Stop the Pain. Modern root canal treatment is virtually pain-free. We use advanced techniques to remove infection and get you back to living your life.
"Virtually pain-free procedure."
What is a Root Canal?
A Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics) is simply the process of removing infected tissue from inside the tooth. Think of it as a "deep cleaning" for the inside of your tooth.
The Myth: "Root canals are painful."
The Reality: The infection is painful. The root canal cures the pain.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
Severe Toothache
Throbbing pain, especially when chewing or lying down.
Sensitivity
Prolonged pain after eating hot or cold foods.
Swelling
Tenderness or swelling in the gums near the tooth.
Discolouration
The tooth looks darker than its neighbours (a sign the nerve has died).
Dr. Yasha’s Advice: "I always fight to save the natural tooth. Nothing is as strong or biocompatible as your own natural root."
The Procedure
Precision Endodontics on Old Brompton Road.
Numbing & Access
We apply powerful local anaesthetic. You will feel numb and comfortable.
Cleaning & Shaping
Using flexible titanium files, we gently remove infected pulp and bacteria.
The Filling
We fill the canals with biocompatible rubber (Gutta-Percha) to seal the tooth.
The Final Restoration
We typically recommend a Crown to protect the tooth from fracturing.
The Membership Relief
Private root canal treatment in Central London typically costs between £600 and £950. At Smile Dentist, we make saving your tooth affordable.
