Case J.D.
Patient J.D. reached out to us because she developed a dental abscess on the front tooth UL2; the patient had a previous root canal with a broken root canal file in the tooth for over 10 years, and it never felt right. It was done previously by her NHS dentist.
Our Endodontist did the consultation. During the treatment, using a dental microscope, we managed to remove the broken root canal file, and the tooth was given new life with a new root canal and post, and a new all-ceramic zirconia crown from our partner laboratory (the award-winning Knights Dental Design Laboratory in London, Cosmetic Dental Laboratory London – Knight Dental Design, to achieve the best aesthetic result.
On review at 6 months, we had amazing bone healing
Patient reached out to us after having some treatment in Turkey a few years back.
Patient was complaining of a tooth with an acute infection draining through a gum boil and being tender.
Patient was keen on saving the natural tooth next to the existing implants, with a crown already placed in Turkey. Patient trusted us to have root canal treatment, with access done through the existing crown.
Our endodontist managed to find all canals and a very cheeky lateral canal; symptoms resolved, gum boil healed, crown saved.
Awaiting review at 6 months to see the bone healing also.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, helps remove infection from the tooth and prevent the need for extraction, so the tooth can be saved. Most people fear the root canal treatment because of the belief that the treatment causes pain. However, with advancements in technology and modern anaesthetics, the treatment process is not necessarily painful; it is just like getting a filling. However, it can be only slightly longer than a usual filing procedure.
If you are looking for root canal treatment near me or root canal treatment in Huddersfield, our experienced clinicians will be able to provide expert care tailored to your needs.
You may need a tooth root canal treatment where the pulp is infected inside the tooth because of deep cavities, trauma, cracks in the tooth, or frequent dental procedures. Simply, sometimes the nerve which is alive in the tooth chamber is not happy and responds in pain. It is a living structure and gives sensations to the teeth.

A root canal treatment is performed inside the tooth and aims to remove dead nerve tissue, disinfect the tooth to prevent future infections, and seal the tooth.
Many patients ask whether root canal treatment is painful. Root canal treatment does not usually hurt nowadays with modern anaesthetics, and sedation can sometimes be used to ease the nerves.
Usually, root canal treatment involves good anaesthesia, then opening, cleaning, and disinfecting the tooth from the inside using microscopes for high-definition vision. After this the tooth is filled with a normal filling, and most of the time a crown needs to be fitted to ensure the tooth is protected from chewing overload.
