If the inside of a tooth becomes infected, it doesn’t always mean it has to come out. In many cases, we can remove the infection, protect the tooth and help it keep doing its job for years to come.
Helping people keep their natural teeth wherever possible is something we care about.
If bacteria reach this area through deep decay, a crack or an injury, the pulp can become infected. Root canal treatment removes the infection from inside the tooth before cleaning and sealing the root canals.
Once the tooth has healed, we may recommend restoring it with a dental crown to give it extra strength and protection.
We’ll carry out a thorough examination, take digital X-rays and explain exactly what’s happening before recommending anything. If root canal treatment is the best way to save your tooth, we’ll tell you why. If there’s another more appropriate option, we’ll talk you through that instead.
We think understanding your options is just as important as the treatment itself.
Root canal treatment can:
Nobody books a root canal because they’re looking forward to it. Most people come to us because they’re in pain, worried about losing a tooth or simply unsure what’s happening. We’ll always take the time to explain what we’ve found, what your options are and why we’re recommending a particular treatment. If you need a moment to ask questions, we’ll answer them. If you’re feeling nervous, just let us know. We’ll work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Root canal treatment has changed enormously over the years, and with modern techniques and careful planning, it’s usually far more straightforward than people expect. Our job is to make sure you leave with a healthy tooth — and feeling reassured that you’ve been looked after every step of the way.

I joined one of the care plans in Drayton House about 4 years ago and have kept it. After my visits and nice experiences, I recommended it to my friends. All of the staff there are extremely friendly. The environment and internal settings are very clean and modern. Dr Shah is professional, patient, thorough and caring. The referrals he made for us were timely and proper. The treatments he did for us were very satisfying.

Excellent dental practice. Dr Ria has been fantastic always, especially in arranging my son’s referral for treatment, and a special thank you to Julia on reception who went above and beyond to make the referral process happen quickly and smoothly. She was incredibly supportive, compassionate, and reassuring throughout, keeping me informed and making what could have been a stressful situation much easier. AMAZING TEAM. We are very grateful for their professionalism and kindness. Highly recommended.

Modern root canal treatment is carried out using effective local anaesthetic, so the procedure itself should feel comfortable – a lot of our patients fall asleep during this procedure. You may experience some mild tenderness afterwards, but this usually settles within a few days.
Not always. However, teeth that have had root canal treatment are often weaker than they were before. A crown can provide additional strength and protection, and we’ll let you know if we think it’s the best long-term option.
Whenever possible, we’d rather help you keep your natural tooth. Root canal treatment is often the best way of doing that, although we’ll always discuss every suitable treatment option with you.
Treatment times vary depending on the tooth and the complexity of the infection. We’ll explain how many appointments are likely to be needed before treatment begins, so you know exactly what to expect.
