Root Canals Stockport

Root canal work takes place when a tooth’s nerve is damaged by decay or infection, causing pain and eventual loss of the tooth above. To preserve the tooth and ease discomfort, the root canal procedure removes the pulp (living tissue inside the tooth) and nerve, along with any bacteria and decay. The resulting space is filled with specialist dental material that restores full function to the tooth.

At Cheadle Dental Practice in Stockport, we rely on advanced techniques and local anaesthetic to provide a comfortable experience with minimal pain. We prioritise saving natural teeth wherever possible, rather than resorting to extraction. Our experienced dentists and support staff work as a team to provide affordable, reassuring and effective dental treatments that last for many years.

The procedure

1. Initial consultation: We take x-rays and carry out a full assessment to understand the extent of damage and plan the root canal procedure.
2. Local anaesthesia: Before starting the procedure, a local anaesthetic is administered to help you remain comfortable and pain-free.
3. Cleaning and removal: The area is thoroughly cleaned and dried before the tooth is isolated and the infected or damaged pulp removed
4. Sealing and filling: Once emptied, the root canal is filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. Depending on the complexity, you may need multiple visits to the dentist to assess progress.
5. Restoration: After the root canal work is completed your tooth is strengthened with a filling or a crown to protect it from further damage.
