What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection. The goal is always to save your natural tooth and avoid extraction.
When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection. The goal is always to save your natural tooth and avoid extraction.
The Procedure Step by Step
Under local anaesthetic, we access the infected pulp chamber, carefully clean and shape each root canal, and fill them with a biocompatible material. The tooth is then sealed with a filling or prepared for a crown to protect it over the long term.
Do I Need a Crown Afterwards?
In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth from fracture and greatly improves the long-term success rate. We will discuss the most suitable restoration for your specific tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before visiting Marlow Dentist. Can't find your answer? Get in touch with our team.
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and is typically no more uncomfortable than a standard filling. Modern techniques have made root canal therapy a straightforward experience.
How many appointments are needed?
Most treatments require one to two appointments, depending on the complexity. We will confirm the expected number of visits at your initial consultation.
What is the success rate of root canal treatment?
Root canal therapy has a high success rate - around 8 out of 10 treated teeth survive for 10 years or more with proper aftercare and a crown.
What happens if I choose not to have root canal treatment?
The only alternative is extracting the tooth. We always recommend saving natural teeth where possible, since extraction leads to bone loss and requires replacement with an implant, bridge, or denture.
Can a root-treated tooth become infected again?
Reinfection is uncommon but can occur. Placing a crown after treatment significantly reduces this risk and offers long-term protection.
