When decay, cracks, or injury reaches the inner part of a tooth, it can cause significant pain and infection. Root canal treatment removes the affected tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth to help preserve its function. At Supernova Medical Centre, our dental team provides careful assessment and restorative treatment tailored to your needs.
Treating an infected or inflamed tooth can help address the underlying cause of persistent dental pain and sensitivity.
Root canal treatment can allow a tooth that might otherwise require extraction to be treated and retained.
After the root canal is completed, the tooth can be restored to help you return to normal biting and chewing.
From identifying the cause of dental pain to cleaning and sealing an infected tooth, our dental team provides comprehensive care throughout the root canal treatment process.
We understand that needing root canal treatment can be concerning, particularly when you’re experiencing significant tooth pain. Our team takes the time to assess your tooth carefully, explain the treatment process, and help you understand your options.

Root canal treatment is designed to remove infection and preserve the affected tooth. We’ll guide you through each stage of the process.
Arrange an appointment if you have persistent tooth pain, sensitivity, swelling, or other symptoms that may indicate a deeper dental problem.
The infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth is carefully removed. The root canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed.
Your dentist will examine the affected tooth and may use dental X-rays to assess the roots and determine whether root canal treatment is appropriate.
Following a thorough assessment, we'll recommend a tailored treatment plan designed to support your health, recovery, and long-term wellbeing.
The treated tooth will need a suitable restoration to restore its function and protect it from further damage. Your dentist will discuss the appropriate restoration with you.
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. The affected tissue is removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed to help preserve the natural tooth.
Root canal treatment may be recommended when decay, cracks, trauma, or other damage allows bacteria to reach the inner part of the tooth. Symptoms can include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, swelling, or an abscess.
Modern dental techniques and local anaesthetic are used to help keep you comfortable during treatment. While the tooth may be sore or sensitive for a short period afterwards, treating the underlying infection can help relieve the pain associated with the condition.
Treatment time varies depending on the tooth, the extent of infection, and the complexity of the root canals. Your dentist will explain how many appointments may be required after assessing your tooth.
Some teeth, particularly those that have lost a significant amount of structure, may require a crown or another protective restoration after root canal treatment. Your dentist will assess the tooth and recommend the most appropriate way to restore it.
Root canal treatment is designed to remove infection while allowing the natural tooth to remain in place. Whether a tooth can be successfully treated depends on its condition, the extent of damage, and the amount of healthy tooth structure remaining.
An untreated infection can worsen and may lead to increasing pain, swelling, an abscess, or damage to surrounding tissues. In some cases, the tooth may become impossible to save and require extraction. Early dental assessment can help determine the appropriate treatment.
Don’t let persistent tooth pain or sensitivity go untreated. Our dental team can assess the cause of your symptoms, explain your treatment options, and help determine whether root canal treatment can preserve your natural tooth.
