Saving Faces has a specialist endodontist, and specialised equipment, meaning we can provide root canal treatment on difficult cases that a general dentist would not be able to treat
What Is Root Canal Treatment
Endodontics, or Root Canal Treatment as it also known, is the process of saving a tooth following it dying off. When a tooth dies it can become painful, causing you to become unwell or experience a large swelling. Root Canals within the tooth normally contain nice healthy pulp tissue, when a tooth dies this tissue is replaced by infected debris.
If this has happened the dentist will remove this infected tissue, allowing the tooth to be safely restored to a pain free, usable state. Often a crown is required to keep the tooth well sealed following endodontics. Here at Saving Faces we carry out complex root canal treatments that your general dentist may not be able to do.
0% Finance Available
We understand that Dentistry can be an expensive procedure for many but we don’t want to put barriers up to prevent you from getting a comfortable smile. We have teamed up with Chrysalis Finance to help you spread the cost of the procedure.
The Root Canal Treatment Process
Numb The Tooth
All root canal treatment is undertaken under local anaesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable throughout.
Access
An access cavity is made to allow the dentist to get to the infected part of your tooth, the root canal system.
Cleaning & Sealing
The root canal system is carefully cleaned and sealed to prevent infection getting back in.
Restoration
Following on from root canal your tooth needs restoring to make it strong, for example a crown.

A plan was set up for me, everything explained thoroughly and after a few months my smile has been returned to me and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you all so much 👍👍👍

I have been using Saving Faces for the last five years, and have had 3 implants in total, plus hygiene work done twice a year. The professionalism shown by the Dentists is second to none, and all the staff are always caring and make you feel both welcome and valued. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Team for any work you are considering. 🙂

FAQs
Does root canal surgery hurt?
There is a common belief that root canal surgery is extremely painful but, in fact, modern techniques ensure it is no more bothersome than a standard dental procedure. Some slight discomfort may occur in the days following the surgery, but this can easily be relieved by over-the-counter medicine.
Does root canal treatment weaken the tooth?
Teeth can still last a lifetime after root canal surgery as long as you take proper care of both the tooth and the gums surrounding it. The tooth may need a crown depending on the amount of damage already done to the tooth.
Can root canal surgery cause nerve damage?
Your dentist will assess the possibility of any nerve injury prior to the surgery. It is extremely unlikely that your nerves will be affected. Saving Faces’ qualified and professional team are trained to minimise the risk of any complications. If the nerves are affected at all it is usually just a minor tingling once the anaesthesia has worn off. This should go away after a few days.
What care needs to be taken after the procedure?
Brushing and flossing your teeth is very important in maintaining healthy teeth after a root canal procedure. You may also be advised to not eat until the numbness wears off and not chew any solid food until the treated tooth has been fully restored by a dentist. Otherwise, contact your endodontist if you develop any unusual symptoms after the surgery such as swelling, allergic reactions or an uneven bite.
