Root canal treatment is a specialist dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation in the soft tissue at the centre of a tooth, known as the dental pulp. When the pulp becomes damaged-due to decay, trauma or deep fillings-it can cause pain, sensitivity and swelling. Without treatment, the infection may spread and the tooth may need to be removed.
Root canal therapy involves removing the diseased pulp, disinfecting the root canal system and filling it to prevent reinfection. The procedure is designed to relieve discomfort, eliminate infection and preserve the natural tooth.
Root canal treatment can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. It helps preserve the natural structure of your bite, maintain facial aesthetics and support the health of surrounding teeth. Treatment allows you to chew and speak comfortably while avoiding the cost and complexity of tooth replacement options such as implants or bridges.
At Bandlish & Auplish, root canal procedures are carried out by our specialist endodontists using the latest techniques and equipment for precise, effective care.
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your tooth and confirm the diagnosis. If root canal therapy is required, your endodontist will gently access the centre of the tooth to remove the damaged pulp. The root canals are cleaned, disinfected and sealed to prevent future infection. The tooth is then restored with a temporary or permanent filling.
In many cases, your general dentist will later place a crown on the treated tooth to restore its full function and strength. You may also be recalled for a review six to twelve months after treatment to assess healing.
Our Harley Street practice is home to two experienced specialist endodontists, Dr Alessandro Falanga and Dr Alex Brady, who focus exclusively on root canal and endodontic procedures. Their advanced training and use of specialist technology allow us to manage even the most complex cases with precision and care.
Patients are referred to us by general dentists seeking expert support for difficult diagnoses, re-treatment cases, or where enhanced techniques and equipment are required. Our aim is to provide the highest standard of endodontic care in a calm and reassuring environment.
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that treats diseases affecting the dental pulp—the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels.
