Preserving Your Natural Smile with Compassionate Root Canal Therapy

We know the words “root canal” can trigger anxiety. After 27+ years of as a dentist and over ten years caring for Warner families, Exquisite Smiles has helped countless patients discover that modern root canal treatment is nothing like the outdated stories you might have heard.

Our gentle approach and transparent communication ensure you’re comfortable, informed, and confident throughout your entire root canal procedure.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure designed to save a tooth that’s been severely damaged or infected. When the soft tissue inside your tooth (the pulp) becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal removes this damaged tissue, relieves your pain, and preserves your natural tooth structure.
Think of it as giving your tooth a second chance – because your natural teeth are always worth saving when possible.

Do Root Canals Hurt?Understanding Root Canal Pain

Here’s the truth: an infected root canal causes pain, but the root canal treatment relieves it. Modern root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthetic, making the experience comparable to having a standard filling.

We take dental anxiety seriously. Our team uses the latest techniques and takes the time to ensure you’re completely numb before we begin. You’re in control – if you need a break at any point, just let us know.

Signs You Might Need Root Canal Therapy

You may require root canal treatment if you’re experiencing:

  • Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
  • Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums
  • A pimple-like bump on your gum
  • Tooth discolouration
  • Pain when chewing or applying pressure

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait. An infected root canal won’t heal on its own, and early treatment can prevent more serious complications.

Our Root Canal Procedure: What to Expect

  1. Initial assessment: We begin with a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to assess the extent of infection and plan your treatment.
  2. Comfortable treatment: Under local anaesthetic, we carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the root canals, then seal them to prevent future infection.
  3. Restoration: Following your root canal, we’ll typically recommend a root canal and crown combination to protect and strengthen your treated tooth, restoring it to full function.
  4. Transparent pricing: We discuss all costs upfront, with no hidden fees. We also offer flexible payment options to make your treatment accessible.
