Endodon­tics

An endodon­tist is a spe­cial­ist den­tist with expert knowl­edge of the tis­sue inside the teeth. They are best known for root canal treat­ments, which is often the last resort for sav­ing a bad­ly decay­ing tooth before it needs to be extract­ed. If you’ve been referred for an endodon­tic appoint­ment, we’re here to help put you at ease.

After care and support

We’ll be with you every step of the way dur­ing your recov­ery so you’ll always know where to turn.

Endodon­tics is a spe­cial­ist branch of den­tistry con­cerned with the diag­no­sis and treat­ment of con­di­tions affect­ing the roots of the teeth and the inter­nal pulp. If you have a bad tooth ache and you want to avoid an extrac­tion, you might be offered root canal therapy.

A root canal is not something you should be worried about and it should instead be seen as an effective remedy for tooth pain. Your dentist is highly trained to treat the tooth roots to make sure they are completely cleared of infection before the tooth is reinforced, filled and capped.

Once completed, you should have full functionality in your tooth and no more pain. On rare occasions, a root canal treatment may fail and you could need a repeat treatment or a surgical treatment known as an apicoectomy. This involves surgically removing the tip of the root.

We know that root canal treatments and a referral to an endodontist can be scary, so we’re here to help put you at ease every step of the way. We can also provide sedation if you are very concerned about your treatment. This will ease your anxiety and enable you to relax.

Fre­quent­ly asked questions

We’ve answered the most com­mon patient ques­tions below. If you still have ques­tions about your den­tal treat­ment, get in touch to book a consultation. 

No, it’s not uncommon for your usual dentist to carry out a root canal if they feel confident it will be a simple treatment. If the canals are more complex, they are more likely to refer you to an endodontist.

An endodontist is trained to diagnose and treat issues related to the tissues inside your tooth. They typically treat conditions like abscesses and also perform surgery on the tips of the roots.

You might experience some discomfort, but you shouldn’t be in pain. You will be numbed throughout the treatment so you shouldn’t have any pain. If you are very nervous about this treatment plan, we can offer sedation to help you to relax.

If you need a root canal, this means that there is an infection in the root of your tooth. This should be treated urgently to help save the natural tooth. It will also help to address the cause of your tooth pain.

Don’t just take our word for it.
Feed­back from our hap­py patients

  • I have just finished a long treatment plan at The Implant and Cosmetic Smiles Clinic with Dr. Bakhshi and I'm so glad that I found this practice! Due to a failed root canal and damage to my tooth root at another practice, I had to have an extraction, jaw bone graft, and dental implant here. I was really nervous due to the bad experience at my previous dentist but I couldn't have been in better hands. It was a long process (approx 1 year) but I appreciated that they really took their time to get it right and let everything heal properly inbetween appointments for the best result possible rather than just getting you in and out as quick as possible. The practice is clean and welcoming, Dr. Bakhshi was brilliant and put me at ease, and the treatment went perfectly! During the course of my treatment plan I actually moved to Newcastle but I drove back for every single one of my appointments, that's how brilliant they are! Special shout out to Kirsty and Roxana for being SO welcoming and brilliant at their jobs too - even if it had been months between appointments they recognised me every time and asked how my journey back had been, how was my holiday etc...WOULD NOT hesitate to return here and I'm gutted I live so far away now as I would absolutely have stayed a patient here forever if I hadn't!

  • Just finished having a new implant. Dr Aryan and his team were excellent. The reception team are also first class. As a senior citizen I was a little anxious about the procedure but need not have worried. I have no hesitation in recommending this Dental Clinic.

From the initial advice provided to the level of care and excellent communication, everything has been great. The reception staff, nurses and dentist have all provided a top service. My invisalign journey was smooth and I'm absolutely delighted with the finished results.Would 100% recommend.

  • I had a root canal treatment with Dr Aryan and he was fantastic. He took the time to explain everything to me and gave me all options before going ahead with the procedure. He carried out the treatment excellently and was clearly very knowledgable. I felt reassured all the way through. All of the staff were very warm and friendly. Thank you for making the experience as comfortable as possible.

  • I had a great transformation my old teeth were looking bad. The process was a great experience and team and dentist were so helpful through out the months as I removed all my old top teeth and had a whole new set on top. The team and dentist explained everything along the journey and were always a phone call away and always happy to answer any questions. I would recommend anyone that wants a new amazing smile to contact them. Thank you for the amazing new smile and making me feel full of confidence again to smile.
