Root Canal Treatment – Saving Your Natural Tooth
At Imperial Dental Care, we understand how worrying the phrase “root canal” can sound. But when carried out correctly, root-canal treatment gives you the chance to save a natural tooth that would otherwise be lost. It’s a reliable, modern solution that many patients benefit from.
Why might this treatment be needed?
If the nerve (pulp) inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected – perhaps due to decay, trauma or a large filling – you may experience pain, sensitivity or swelling. Left untreated, the infection can worsen or even lead to an abscess.
What happens during treatment?
- We’ll take detailed X-rays to assess the tooth and root anatomy.
- Local anaesthetic is administered, so you remain comfortable throughout.
- The nerve is removed, the canal cleaned and shaped, then filled and sealed.
- Often, a crown or onlay is recommended afterwards to restore strength and function.
How often should you attend?
Your comfort is our priority. We explain the process in straightforward language, apply modern techniques and materials, and make sure you leave with a clear plan – including what to expect after the treatment.
Don’t resign yourself to extraction if root canal treatment is an option. Contact us on 020 8427 2264 for an assessment and we’ll talk through what’s possible for you.

FAQ
Is root canal treatment painful?
Thanks to modern techniques and local anaesthetic, it’s typically no more uncomfortable than having a filling.
Why would I need a root canal?
If the nerve inside a tooth becomes infected due to decay, trauma or a deep filling, a root canal saves the tooth and prevents further infection.
How long does it take to recover?
Mild soreness may last a few days, but most patients return to normal activities immediately.
The hygiene/airflow appointment with Mr Vytautas Berenis is absolutely excellent, professional and outstanding. I would highly recommend him as he works very gently , no pain and the cleaning of the teeth is exceptional. The front desk staff is very polite, nice and helpful.
Thank you all. I will definitely book again .

I had a filling fall out as I was on holiday and being the scaredy cat that I am I waited until I was back in the UK to get it fixed – it was my first time going to Imperial Dental Care as they were the only dentist I could find that had any next day emergency openings; Dr Natasha was extremely professional and gentle and it might’ve been my very first pleasant experience at a dentist 10/10 all around.
