Endodontics | TREATING TEETH THAT HAVE HAD DENTAL ABSCESSES At the abbey

Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics) is the process of removing an infection from a tooth and sealing it so it is once again comfortable and usable. Infection in a tooth is commonly known as a dental abscess.

Specialist Endodontics

Through the use of a special microscope endodontists are able to see the tooth structure in detail. This allows them to carefully remove the infection from a tooth.

Following the cleaning and disinfection of a tooth it is carefully sealed to prevent the infection returning, restoring your tooth to a comfortable and usable state once again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does root canal treatment hurt?

Although there can be some discomfort between visits, which is manageable with over the counter painkillers, the treatment itself is completely pain free due to the use of local anaesthetic.

Can you provide the crown afterwards?

We do provide a range of restorative options at The Abbey. Your endodontist will refer you to one of our other clinicians should you wish us to restore the tooth afterwards.

What will my tooth look like after treatment?

In the past, a root filled tooth would often darken after treatment. However, with modern techniques this does not usually happen. If there is any discolouration, there are several treatments available to restore the natural appearance. Root canal treatment is usually highly successful. However, if the infection comes back the treatment can sometimes be repeated.
