Root canal treatment saves teeth that would otherwise need extraction. Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than having a filling, and it allows you to keep your natural tooth for years to come.
This treatment is ideal if you
- ✓You have a severely infected or painful tooth
- ✓You want to avoid an extraction
- ✓You have a dental abscess that needs treating
- ✓Your tooth has deep decay reaching the nerve
When Is Root Canal Needed?
Root canal treatment is needed when the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This can result from deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks, or trauma. Signs include severe pain, prolonged sensitivity, discolouration, and gum swelling.
The Modern Root Canal Experience
With modern techniques and effective anaesthesia, root canal treatment is comfortable and straightforward. We take time to ensure you're completely numb before starting, and most patients are surprised by how painless the procedure is.
The Procedure
We remove the infected pulp tissue, carefully clean and shape the root canals, then fill and seal them. This eliminates infection and prevents recontamination. A crown is usually placed afterwards to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
Saving Your Natural Tooth
Your natural tooth is almost always better than an artificial replacement. Root canal treatment allows you to keep chewing efficiently, maintain natural appearance, protect other teeth from excessive wear, and preserve jawbone density.

Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend
So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
