Gentle, effective root canal treatment to relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth at About Smiles
Gentle, effective root canal treatment to relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth at About Smiles.
A root canal is a procedure designed to remove infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, effectively stopping the spread of infection and preventing the need for extraction. By thoroughly cleaning, shaping, and sealing the inner canals, we can preserve your natural tooth structure, restore comfortable chewing and speaking, and relieve persistent pain. Early intervention is key—addressing issues now can prevent more complex treatments later, ensuring your oral health stays on track.
Persistent toothache or severe pain
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
Swollen, tender gums or a pimple-like lesion near the affected tooth
Darkening or discolouration of the tooth
Difficulty biting or chewing without discomfort
At About Smiles, we combine advanced technology with a warm, patient-focused approach. We prioritise your comfort, using local anesthesia and offering sedation options for those who feel anxious. Our experienced dentists communicate openly about what to expect, minimising stress and ensuring your root canal feels similar to getting a standard filling. Transparent pricing and payment plans help manage costs, while multiple Sydney locations make it easy to access high-quality care. Whether it’s for adults, children, or complex cases, our team provides attentive, personalised treatment every step of the way.
STEP ONE
Consultation:
Your dentist examines the tooth, may take X-rays, and assesses if a root canal is needed.
STEP TWO
Decay Removal:
We numb the area with local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable experience.
STEP THREE
Filling Placement:
Infected pulp is removed from inside the tooth’s canals. The canals are then cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
STEP FOUR
Hardening and Polishing:
A biocompatible material is placed to seal the tooth, preventing reinfection. Depending on the level of damage, a filling or crown may be recommended to restore strength and function.
