What to expect
Diagnosis
We examine the tooth and take an X-ray to confirm a root canal is the right treatment.
Treatment
The tooth is numbed, cleaned out and sealed, usually in one or two visits.
Restoration
Most treated back teeth then get a crown, which protects them for years to come.
Protecting the tooth with a crown
A crown covers the whole tooth, so it can handle normal chewing again. Crowns are also used for cracked, worn or heavily filled teeth, and to cap dental implants.
Porcelain
The most natural look, often chosen for front teeth.
Zirconia
A very strong ceramic that suits back teeth.
Porcelain fused to metal
A metal base for strength with a tooth-coloured surface.
Gold alloy
Extremely hard-wearing, usually used on molars.
Common questions
All FAQsDoes a root canal hurt?
The tooth is fully numbed during treatment. It may feel tender for a few days afterwards, which over-the-counter pain relief usually manages.
Is it better to just pull the tooth?
Keeping your own tooth is usually the better long-term choice. A missing tooth can shift your bite and is more costly to replace.
Are crowns noticeable?
Tooth-coloured crowns are matched to your neighbouring teeth, so most people can’t tell.
