ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Conventional RCT

WHY CONVENTIONAL RCT?

Save Your Natural Tooth, Relieve the Pain

When the soft inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause severe pain and swelling. Conventional root canal treatment removes the infection over a few visits, cleans the canals thoroughly and seals the tooth so you can keep it.

THE PROCESS

What to Expect

Conventional RCT is carried out in stages over two or more visits, with care taken at every step to keep you comfortable.

1

Examination & X-ray

We find the cause of your pain and check the shape of the root canals on an X-ray.

2

Numbing & Cleaning

Under local anaesthesia, the infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped.

3

Medication Between Visits

Where needed, soothing medication is placed inside the tooth to clear infection, and it is closed with a temporary filling.

4

Filling & Restoration

The canals are sealed, and the tooth is restored with a filling or crown for long-term protection.
