Root canal treatment is a common and highly effective dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. When the soft tissue at the centre of the tooth, known as the dental pulp, becomes infected due to deep decay, injury, or repeated dental work, a root canal removes the bacteria and cleans the root canal system. This helps relieve pain, stop the spread of infection, and preserve the natural tooth.
At Bond Dental, we provide root canal treatment using advanced techniques and technology. Our private root canal treatment is designed to deliver long-term relief and protection without the need for extraction.
Root canal therapy is required when the soft tissue inside your tooth, containing nerves and blood vessels, becomes inflamed or infected. This can be caused by deep decay, cracks, repeated dental work on the same tooth, or trauma. If left untreated, the infection can spread, cause severe pain, and risk tooth loss.
Signs you may need a root canal include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when chewing, swelling in the gums, or tooth discolouration. In some cases, a small bump on the gum near the affected tooth may appear.
While antibiotics may sometimes help, they cannot fully resolve infections inside the tooth. A timely root canal procedure removes the infection, relieves pain, and saves the natural tooth, helping to avoid more invasive or costly treatments later.
If you are experiencing persistent toothache, swelling, or sensitivity, contact Bond Dental to arrange an assessment. Our team will examine your tooth, take digital scans if needed, and confirm whether root canal treatment is required.
On the day of your procedure, the area will be numbed with local anaesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable. The infected pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and sealed, and a temporary or permanent restoration is placed depending on your treatment plan.
If a crown is needed, a follow-up visit will be arranged to fit it once the tooth has fully healed. We’ll also provide personalised aftercare advice to help you protect your treated tooth and maintain long-term oral health.
Our clinicians have extensive experience and advanced training in endodontics, ensuring precision and clinician-led care for every case.
We use the latest dental technology and gentle techniques to provide a comfortable and efficient treatment experience.
Flexible appointment times make it easy to fit your root canal treatment into your schedule without long waits.
Every treatment plan is personalised, with a focus on saving and restoring your natural teeth wherever possible.
Our modern central London clinics offer a welcoming, professional environment designed to put patients at ease.
We aim for durable, long-term outcomes that protect oral health and maintain optimal dental function.
You’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions below. Everything you need to know is right here, designed to help you make an informed and confident decision.
With modern techniques and effective local anaesthetics, root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than having a routine filling. Many patients actually experience relief once the infection is removed.
Persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, swelling of the gums, or a small pimple on the gum near the tooth may indicate infection in the pulp and the need for a root canal.
Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the case. Your dentist will confirm this after your initial assessment.
