Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has been damaged by decay, infection, or injury. At Bespoke Dental & Implant Clinic, we specialise in providing gentle and effective root canal treatments to relieve pain and preserve your natural teeth.
Should I have a Root Canal or Extraction?
When experiencing severe toothache most often you will need to choose between removing the tooth or undertaking a root canal procedure. The decision or best treatment choice is not always clear and requires expert advice.
At Bespoke Dental & Implant Clinic, we critically assess the tooth and surrounding factors to ensure you are making the best decision. Root canal treatments carry success rates of 99% when the appropriate conditions are present. Where the conditions are not ideal this success rate can reduce and this is where expert advice will help guide you to make the best choice.
What Happens if My Canal Treatment Fails?
On occasions root canal treatments may fail and this is due to many different reasons such as persistent infection, cracked tooth, improper techniques or reinfection. You will need expert advice to assess if the tooth is worth Re-Root Treating or Extracting.
Thankfully, when the right advice is sought and proper treatment is undertaken initially the success rates are very high and the risk of failure is rare. At Bespoke Dental & Implant Clinic, our Endodontist will first assess whether the tooth is worth saving or whether it’s better to be removed. If you choose to have the tooth extracted, this will be organised for you with our gentle & caring Dentists who are very experienced in removing teeth. If you are nervous please speak to our Treatment Coordinators who will share the secrets of how we will help nervous adults who require sedation.
The Procedure
The process involves removing the damaged or infected pulp from the inside of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the area, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further issues. Our skilled dentists use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure your comfort and the best possible outcomes.

Answer
Root canal treatment removes inflamed or infected pulp from the tooth. The affected area is cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed to restore the tooth’s integrity. The purpose of a root canal is to eradicate bacteria from the infected canal, prevent reinfection, and preserve your natural tooth.
With anaesthesia administered, root canals aren’t significantly more painful than common dental procedures like fillings. After the procedure, it’s normal to experience some soreness or numbness, which can be easily managed with over the counter pain relief medication.
Although you’ll likely experience numbness for 2 to 4 hours after the procedure, most patients can return to school or work immediately following a root canal. It’s recommended to avoid eating until the numbness has completely subsided.
Root canal treatments start from £795. Specialist canal therapy and apicectomy prices are available on assessment.
It depends on the condition of your tooth. Root canals have a 99% success rate when conditions are right, and they allow you to keep your natural tooth. However, if the tooth is severely cracked, the infection is too advanced, or the root structure is compromised, extraction may be the better long-term option. Our endodontist will assess your case and give you honest advice.
Root canal failure is rare but can happen due to persistent infection, a missed canal, a cracked tooth, or reinfection. If this occurs, you may need retreatment or an apicectomy (surgery on the root tip). In some cases, extraction becomes the best option. Our specialists will reassess and recommend the most effective next step.
