Root Canal Treatment
Root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged tooth instead of removing it. Our caring dentists at Smile Crew will provide you a gentle treatment and restore your tooth for you.

Root Canal Treatment Croydon Dentist
Root Canal is also known as Endodontic Treatment. The procedure eliminates bacteria from the infected root canal or the nerve present inside the tooth. Our excellent dentists remove the infected pulp at the first stage of root canal treatment; then the area is cleaned and disinfected, post which it is filled and sealed.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for a Root Canal Treatment
If a tooth with the symptoms mentioned above is not treated, it may not just cause discomfort, but the infection also poses potential health risks. Some of the common reasons why one may have an infected root canal include cracked or chipped tooth, dental trauma (physical injury to the tooth), and deep decay. Most of the time the reason may not be known.
At Smile Crew Dentist Croydon, we offer dental treatments at the hands of experienced dentists who are trained with the usage of modern dentistry tools to perform root canal treatments. Depending on the severity of infection, up to three dental visits may be required for the treatment of the root canal.
01
Discoloured tooth
02
Swelling and pain of the gum around the infected tooth
03
Prolonged sensitivity to cold or hot
04
Tooth sensitivity when chewing
05
Pus discharge
06
Swollen and tender lymph nodes
The Process of Root Canal Treatment Croydon Dentist
The dentist performing the root canal treatment will drill a small tooth in the damaged tooth – for the front tooth, the drill is done at the back, and for the molars, the hole is made on top. Our caring dentist then uses special endodontic instruments to clean the infected nerve space, thoroughly. Once the nerve is cleaned, an antibiotic solution is applied to cleanse the nerve chamber of any bacteria that might be remaining.
The dentist uses a thick rubber-like material known as ‘gutta-percha’ to fill the root chamber. It eliminates any chances of infection from reoccurring in the future and seals the tooth with a filing.
People who have undergone root canal treatment are advised to place a dental crown over the treated tooth. Cleaning the nerve causes loss of blood supply, and without protection, the tooth may become brittle and prone to damage in the future.
What is the Cost to Get a Root Canal Treatment?
The cost for root canal treatments without a crown starts from $1K. The cost mainly depends on the severity of the condition. For a personalised quote, please book a consultation with our dentist.
