For patients
Modern root canal treatment is painless. Local anaesthetic numbs the area, and your natural tooth stays where it belongs.
Seeing me does not affect your registration with your own dentist.

(ĕn′dō-dŏn′tĭks) noun
The branch of dentistry that deals with the tooth root, the dental pulp and the tissue around them.
Tiago Pimentel, Specialist Endodontist, Colchester.
Inside, in four steps.
Diagnosis
A comprehensive examination and the right imaging, including the latest 3D technology (CBCT), identify the problem precisely.
Access
Local anaesthetic numbs the tooth completely. A small opening through the crown reaches the pulp.
Clean and shape
The infected pulp is removed and each canal is cleaned along its full length.
Fill and seal
The canals are filled and sealed to keep bacteria out. Your dentist then restores the tooth.
About one to two hours per visit.
