Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to save a damaged or infected tooth, allowing you to retain your natural smile and avoid the need for tooth extraction. At our Mansfield practice, we prioritise your comfort and well-being throughout the process, using the latest technology to ensure a smooth and efficient treatment.

​

When a tooth becomes severely decayed or infected, the pulp inside the tooth—the soft tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels—can become damaged or infected. During a root canal, we carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and then seal it to prevent further infection. In most cases, the tooth is restored with a dental crown to reinforce its structure and functionality.

​

One of the main benefits of root canal treatment is that it allows you to retain your natural tooth. Keeping your original tooth helps maintain proper bite alignment and prevents the shifting of surrounding teeth. Additionally, preserving your natural tooth helps avoid the more invasive and costly procedures that may be required if the tooth is extracted.

​

We use the latest technology, including digital X-rays and state-of-the-art endodontic instruments, to make the procedure more precise, faster, and less uncomfortable. These advancements allow us to accurately diagnose the extent of the infection, clean the affected area thoroughly, and seal the tooth effectively, improving the overall success rate of the treatment.

​

In some cases, if the damage or infection is too severe to be treated with a root canal, extraction may be necessary. However, we always strive to save your natural teeth whenever possible. If a tooth cannot be saved, we can discuss tooth replacement options, such as a dental implant, to restore both the appearance and functionality of your smile.
