Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics) in Sunninghill, Ascot

Gentle, Expert Care for Tooth Pain & Infection.

If you are experiencing ongoing toothache, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need a root canal. At Sunninghill Clinic, our endodontic service is delivered by a dentist with advanced training and a special interest in root canal therapy. We offer precise, compassionate care designed to relieve discomfort and help you keep your natural tooth.

What Is Endodontics?

Endodontics focuses on treating the inside of the tooth. When these areas become inflamed or infected (often due to decay, cracks, or trauma), a root canal is needed to remove the infection and preserve the tooth.

Common Reasons for Root Canal Treatment

You might need root canal therapy if you are experiencing:

  • A persistent or throbbing toothache
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth
  • A cracked, chipped, or heavily filled tooth
  • A visible abscess or bump on the gums
  • A tooth that’s turning dark in colour after trauma

What to Expect During Treatment

  1. Diagnosis and Imaging - We start with a full assessment and digital x-rays to understand the issue and plan the treatment precisely.
  2. Comfort-Focused Procedure - Under local anaesthetic, using a microscope for precision, the affected tissue is carefully removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned, shaped and sealed.
  3. Restoring the Tooth - The tooth is then restored, often with a crown, to protect it and restore its appearance and function.

Frequently asked questions

No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic and is designed to relieve your pain, not cause more.

Most treatments are completed in one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the case.

Often yes, especially for back teeth. A crown helps to support and protect the tooth after root canal treatment.

With good hygiene and regular check-ups, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years.

Once the pulp is infected or damaged, a root canal is often the only way to save the tooth. Delaying treatment may lead to the need for extraction.
