Save Your Smile with Precision: Root Canal Treatment at Surrey Dental Practice
At Surrey Dental Practice, we prioritise preserving your natural teeth whenever possible. When tooth decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of your tooth, root canal treatment becomes the gold-standard solution to save it and relieve pain—without the need for extraction.
As a trusted dentist in Guildford, Surrey, we combine expert clinical skill with advanced dental technology to provide gentle and effective root canal treatment in a relaxed, caring environment.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside your tooth. Once the pulp is removed, the space is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to protect the tooth from further infection.
You may need a root canal if you are experiencing:
- Persistent toothache or sensitivity.
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums.
- Discolouration of the tooth.
- A history of deep decay or repeated dental work.
Our skilled team at Surrey Dental Practice uses the latest techniques to ensure that your treatment is as comfortable and efficient as possible.
Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?
- Tooth Preservation: Root canal therapy helps save your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.
- Pain Relief: It eliminates the cause of the infection, alleviating discomfort.
- Long-Term Function: After restoration, your tooth can function like any other healthy tooth.
- Aesthetic Restoration: Often followed by a crown, your treated tooth will look and feel natural.
We believe that every patient deserves long-term oral health, and root canal treatment plays a vital role in achieving that.
