What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment (RCT) is necessary when the pulp — the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels — becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma. At NeoSmile, we use advanced rotary endodontic instruments and apex locators to perform painless, single-sitting RCT with a very high success rate. Over 700 root canals have been completed at our clinic.
Key Benefits
Saves Your Natural Tooth
RCT eliminates infection while preserving the tooth structure, avoiding extraction.
Completely Painless
Modern anaesthesia ensures you feel nothing during the procedure — the treatment relieves pain, it does not cause it.
Single Sitting
With rotary endodontics, most cases are completed in one appointment.
Prevents Spread of Infection
Removing infected pulp stops bacteria spreading to surrounding bone and teeth.
Durable Long-term
A root-canal-treated tooth capped with a crown can last decades.
Cost-effective
Saving a tooth is almost always more cost-effective than extraction plus replacement.
How It Works — Step by Step
Diagnosis & X-ray
A periapical X-ray maps the root canals and confirms the extent of infection.
Local Anaesthesia
The tooth and surrounding area are thoroughly numbed — you should feel pressure but no pain.
Access Opening
A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber.
Pulp Removal & Shaping
Infected pulp is removed using rotary instruments; canals are shaped and measured electronically.
Filling & Sealing
Canals are filled with biocompatible gutta-percha and sealed to prevent re-infection.
Crown Placement
A protective crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore full strength and function.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Under local anaesthesia you feel pressure but no pain. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the procedure is — and leave with relief from the pre-treatment pain.
Yes. With rotary endodontics and electronic apex locators, most straightforward cases are completed in a single 60–90 minute appointment.
Yes. A crown is strongly recommended to protect the weakened tooth from fracture and restore its full biting function.
Untreated infection can spread to the jawbone, neighbouring teeth, and in severe cases the bloodstream. Early treatment has a far better prognosis.
