Root canal treatment to save your tooth

At Paddington Smiles, our root canal treatment is designed to save teeth affected by deep decay or infection. We remove infection from inside the tooth, relieve discomfort, and seal it to protect against future problems—helping you keep your natural smile.
Root canal treatment in Paddington

Save and restore teeth with root canal treatment

Root canal treatment (endodontic treatment) cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth when the nerve becomes inflamed or infected. The tooth is then sealed and restored so you can bite and chew comfortably again.

Why choose root canal treatment?

Benefits of root canal treatment

Keeps your natural tooth

Helps you avoid extraction by treating infection at the source.

Relieves pain and infection

Removes infected tissue and bacteria that can cause pain and swelling.

Prevents spread of infection

Stops infection from affecting surrounding bone and nearby teeth.

Restores function

Lets you bite and chew comfortably once the tooth is restored.

Long-lasting solution

With proper restoration and care, treated teeth can last for many years.

Protects your smile

Preserves your natural appearance while restoring health and comfort.
