Root Canal Treatment In York

We begin with a detailed examination and appropriate diagnostic imaging to assess the tooth and surrounding structures. During treatment, the affected area is carefully cleaned and disinfected before the canals are sealed. A further restoration, such as a filling or crown, may be recommended to protect the tooth.

Root canal treatment costs vary depending on the tooth involved, the complexity of its root canal system and the restorative treatment required afterwards. Fees are discussed before treatment begins.

Root canal treatment cannot guarantee that every tooth can be retained indefinitely. Risks include persistent infection, fracture or the need for further treatment. Alternatives may include extraction and discussing options for replacing the tooth.

FAQs:

Is root canal treatment painful? Modern techniques and anaesthesia are used to make treatment as comfortable as possible.
