Located in the heart of the City of London, just moments from Liverpool Street Station, our specialist endodontic team provides expert care designed to save infected teeth, relieve discomfort, and restore long-term oral health.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) removes inflamed or infected pulp tissue from inside the tooth. Once the canal system is carefully cleaned, shaped, and disinfected, it is sealed with biocompatible materials. This prevents reinfection and preserves your natural tooth — avoiding the need for extraction.
Modern techniques mean root canal treatment is predictable, comfortable, and highly successful when carried out by a specialist.

Why You Might Need a Root Canal
A root canal may be recommended if:
Tooth decay has reached the pulp
There is an abscess or infection at the root tip
A tooth has been injured or traumatised
The tooth has darkened due to a dying nerve
Sensitivity lingers long after contact with hot or cold
There is pain on biting or chewing
Sometimes a tooth can die with no symptoms at all — often detected during routine X-rays.
Your root canal appointment is designed to be comfortable and efficient. A typical treatment includes:
Local Anaesthetic
The tooth and surrounding area are fully numbed before treatment begins.Rubber Dam Placement
This keeps the tooth isolated, clean, and dry.Access to the Pulp
A small opening is made to reach the infected tissue.Cleaning & Disinfection
Using specialist instruments, the canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.Filling the Canals
The canals are sealed with a biocompatible material such as gutta percha.Temporary Restoration
A temporary filling is placed until your permanent crown or filling is fitted.X-Rays for Accuracy
Radiographs ensure the canals have been fully cleaned and sealed.
Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure.
It is normal to experience mild tenderness for a few days following treatment. This can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief such as ibuprofen or paracetamol (unless contraindicated).
To support healing:
Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it has its final restoration
Maintain excellent brushing and flossing habits
Attend follow-up appointments as recommended
A crown or strong restoration is often advised to protect the treated tooth, as it may become more brittle over time.
Root canal treatment is routine and highly successful — especially when carried out by a specialist — but potential complications can include:
Instrument breakage within the canal
Difficulty accessing very narrow or unusual canal anatomy
Persistent infection requiring retreatment
Tooth fracture without a protective restoration
Temporary post-treatment discomfort
Your endodontist will discuss all risks and provide tailored advice before treatment.
Will I need time off work?
Usually not. Many of our patients visit during their lunch break or between meetings, thanks to our convenient Liverpool Street location.
Is the treatment painful?
No. Modern anaesthetic and techniques mean that root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than a standard filling.
How many appointments will I need?
Many treatments are completed in one visit. Teeth with active infection may require a second appointment.
