Getting a root canal at Ashbury Dental Care
Root canal therapy treats infection that is deep within the tooth, helping to relieve pain and avoid a tooth extraction. At Ashbury Dental Care, we’ve successfully completed hundreds of root canal treatments using modern techniques and a gentle, patient-first approach. Whether you’re experiencing discomfort or have been referred for endodontic care, our experienced dental care team will guide you through each stage, from consultation to treatment aftercare, with clarity and compassion.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is an endodontic procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth. The space is then cleaned, shaped, and sealed to prevent further infection. Root canal treatment is often the best way to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. It’s a routine, highly effective procedure performed under local anaesthetic.
How much does a root canal cost?
The cost of root canal treatment can vary depending on both the tooth and complexity of the case. At Ashbury Dental Care, we offer transparent pricing and no-obligation consultations. You’ll receive a personalised treatment plan and full cost breakdown before we book any treatments. We also offer flexible payment options to help our patients manage the cost of our exceptional dental care.

Do I need a root canal?
Endodontics is a dental speciality which focuses on treating issues associated with dental pulp. You may need a root canal ifyou’re experiencing persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a darkened tooth. These symptoms often indicate an infection or damage to the tooth’s pulp. Your dentist will confirm the diagnosis with a thorough examination and x-rays. Root canal treatment can relieve pain, stop the spread of infection, and preserve your natural tooth. To find out more, please book a consultation.
