Stop dental pain with root canal treatment
Root canal
Root canal treatment relieves tooth pain and saves your natural tooth. It’s often the best alternative to extraction when a tooth is badly infected or damaged.
Root canal treatment at Beacon Park Dental
A root canal allows us to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed. If the pulp inside your tooth has become infected or inflamed, root canal treatment removes that infected tissue, clears the infection, and seals the tooth so it can continue to function normally.
We've carried out hundreds of successful root canal treatments, and it's the most effective way to relieve serious tooth pain while keeping your natural tooth intact.
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment (or endodontics) treats infection or damage deep inside a tooth. Your dentist removes the infected pulp from the root canals, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. Most patients find root canal treatment no more uncomfortable than a filling – the pain you feel from the infection itself is typically far worse than the treatment.
How much does root canal treatment cost?
The cost of root canal treatment depends on which tooth is being treated and the complexity of the procedure — a molar root canal, for example, involves more canals than a front tooth and takes longer to complete.

Do I need root canal treatment?
he most common sign that you need a root canal is a persistent, severe toothache; particularly pain that worsens when you bite down, or sensitivity to hot and cold that lingers after the source is removed. Swelling around the tooth or a small pimple on the gum nearby can also indicate infection that has reached the root.
If you're in significant pain, don't wait for a routine appointment. We keep time free throughout the week for urgent dental problems — call us and we'll get you seen as soon as possible.
The benefits of root canal treatment
Stronger than any tooth replacement
Saving your natural tooth maintains strength and function that no artificial option can fully match.
Protects your bite
Keeping your original tooth helps maintain alignment and prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting.
Preserves jaw bone
By keeping the tooth root in place, it supports the surrounding bone and prevents gradual bone loss.
Can last a lifetime
With a well-fitted restoration and regular care, a root-treated tooth can function for many years.
