Our Services
Consultation
A consultation is required before any treatment is started. This is so we can correctly and accurately diagnose the cause of your pain or infection. In complex cases, a 3D scan, or CBCT, is required as a conventional x-ray may not show us what we need to see.
Once we have established a diagnosis, we will discuss the predicted long term success of any treatment provided, potential risks during or after treatment, alternative treatment options and costs. We will also be able to address any concerns or queries you may have regarding your treatment.
In most cases, you do not need a separate consultation and treatment can be started on the same day, however this will be discussed when booking your appointment.
Root canal treatment
If a tooth becomes infected due to dental decay or injury, root canal treatment is required to remove infected tissue from the tooth, prevent reinfection and save the natural tooth.
Once the diseased tissue is removed, the space inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The root canal space is then filled and the tooth is restored with a white filling material. In most cases your dentist will need to place a crown (or cap) on the tooth to eliminate the risk of tooth fracture.
