Precision Cleaning and Sealing
Each canal is cleaned thoroughly and sealed to reduce the risk of reinfection and support long-term success.
Root canal treatment is used when the inner part of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. This can happen due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, cracks or trauma. Without treatment, infection can spread, leading to ongoing pain, swelling or eventual tooth loss.
At West Road Dental, root canal treatment focuses on removing infection while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible. Treatment is planned carefully to reduce discomfort and protect long-term oral health. The aim is not just to stop pain but to restore strength and function so the tooth can continue to be used confidently.
As a trusted root canal clinic serving Oakham and Rutland, treatment is carried out by dentists with a special interest in root canal care, using modern diagnostic tools and controlled techniques. Each stage is explained clearly, helping patients feel informed and supported throughout.
Root canal treatment requires precision and experience. A dentist with a special interest in root canal care understands the complex structure inside each tooth and how to remove infection fully without weakening surrounding tissue.
At our root canal clinic, every treatment plan is based on a detailed assessment of the tooth, surrounding bone and gum health. This helps ensure predictable outcomes and long-term stability.
Care is centred around:
Root canal treatment is always recommended only when it is the most appropriate option for the tooth.
Treatment begins with a thorough examination and imaging to confirm infection and assess the internal structure of the tooth. Once confirmed, the tooth is numbed to ensure comfort.
The infected pulp is carefully removed and the root canal system is cleaned and disinfected. This step is essential to eliminate bacteria and prevent future infection. Once cleaned, the canals are sealed using specialist-grade materials designed to protect the tooth internally.
A root canal filling restores stability to the tooth and in many cases, a crown may be recommended to provide additional protection during everyday use.
Patients receive clear aftercare advice and support throughout healing. Mild tenderness is normal for a short time but most people return to normal function quickly.
The length of root canal treatment depends on the tooth involved and the severity of infection. Some teeth have multiple canals that require additional time and care.

“Dev and his nurse completely transformed my smile! Something I didn’t think would ever be possible due to the embarrassing state my teeth were in. I had broken and missing teeth in the front of my mouth and an overwhelming fear of dentists which got increasingly worse over 40 years. Dev is careful and kind, explains everything thoroughly and is a craftsman in his work, I cant believe how good my teeth look now! My only regret is I didn’t find this surgery sooner. I honestly can’t thank them enough!!!”

A clean, modern and relaxing environment eases those anxieties and staff are willing to accommodate any issues. It’s saying something when you can feel relaxed in the chair! Also great with my children, who have Autism/anxieties. Totally recommend.”
