Save the Tooth, Ease the Pain.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Why Is It Important?
When a tooth’s pulp gets infected due to decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures, an RCT becomes necessary. It:
- Saves your natural tooth
- Stops pain and prevents further infection
- Preserves your chewing ability and natural bite
- Prevents jawbone deterioration from missing teeth
- Helps avoid more complex surgeries in the future
Advantages of Root Canal Treatment
- Done under local anaesthetic, with modern equipment
- Fast recovery, often done in one visit
- Long-term relief from sensitivity and pain
- No need for extraction
- Natural appearance with crown restoration
- Suitable for re-treatment (re-root canal treatment) if earlier RCTs fail
When Should You Get an RCT?
Consider RCT treatment if you have:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity
- A cracked or broken tooth
- Deep decay close to the nerve
- Swelling around the gums
- An old filling or crown that has failed
Don’t delay — saving the tooth is always better than losing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does root canal treatment hurt?
We numb the tooth with local anaesthetic before we start, so the treatment itself should feel much like having a filling. The tooth can feel tender for a few days afterwards, and we’ll tell you how to manage that.
How long does an RCT take?
Many cases can be completed in a single sitting RCT or one-visit RCT. More complex cases may require two visits.
What is the cost of RCT?
Cost of RCT depends on the tooth, complexity, and whether it’s a first-time or re-root canal treatment. We’ll explain everything upfront and offer flexible payment options.
Is a crown necessary after RCT?
Yes — placing a crown protects the tooth and restores strength and function. We offer a variety of durable, aesthetic crown options.
What if I’ve already had a failed root canal?
We can help! Our team performs re-root canal treatments using precision tools like microscopes and lasers to save teeth others couldn’t.
