Who it suits

Signs a tooth may need root canal treatment

Pain does not always mean root canal treatment, and an infection can occasionally be quiet. Tests and radiographs identify the tooth and whether saving it has a sound long-term outlook.

Lingering pain after hot or cold
Pain when biting
Swelling, a gum spot or an abscess
A deep cavity close to the nerve
A tooth darkened after trauma
A previously treated tooth causing symptoms

The reception and waiting area at Sunny Dental in Twickenham — Our reception on London Road — calm, unhurried and nothing like a clinic waiting room.

How treatment works

From first visit to finished smile

Diagnosis and choices

Examination, vitality tests and radiographs confirm the source. We compare root treatment with extraction and replacement where both are realistic.

Clean and disinfect

Once fully numb, the tooth is isolated with a rubber dam. The canals are cleaned and shaped under magnification, usually over one or two visits.

Seal and protect

The canals are filled and the tooth restored. Back teeth commonly need an onlay or crown to reduce the risk of fracture.

Review

Healing is checked clinically and with follow-up imaging. Any crown, onlay or maintenance stage is included in the written plan from the outset.

Fees

Common questions

Asked at almost every consultation

Does root canal treatment hurt?

The tooth is fully numb before treatment begins. The infection beforehand is usually what causes pain; tenderness for a few days after treatment is possible but normally manageable.

How much is root canal treatment in Twickenham?

Approved guide fees start from £595 for a front tooth and £895 for a molar. A crown or onlay may be needed afterwards and is itemised separately in your written plan.

Is extraction cheaper?

Extraction costs less initially, but replacing the gap with an implant or bridge can cost more overall. We compare the likely lifespan and complete costs of both paths.

How long can a root-treated tooth last?

A well-cleaned tooth that is properly sealed, protected from fracture and kept clean can last many years or decades. The final restoration and maintenance are important.
