When people hear "root canal," they often imagine pain and discomfort. But in reality, modern endodontics is about relief — saving a tooth that would otherwise be lost, and doing so with minimal discomfort. At The Tooth Project, we've made it our mission to demystify root canal therapy and make it a comfortable, predictable experience.
Our endodontic team specialises in treating the inner structures of the tooth — the pulp, nerves, and roots. Using advanced technology like CBCT imaging and operating microscopes, we can diagnose and treat even the most complex cases with precision.
What is endodontics?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. It's best known for root canal therapy, but also includes retreatment, surgery, and management of traumatic injuries.
Our full range of endodontic services includes:
- Root Canal Therapy
- Endodontic Retreatment
- Apical Microsurgery (Apicoectomy)
- Pulp Vitality Testing
- Traumatic Dental Injuries
- Internal Bleaching
- CBCT 3D Imaging
- Pediatric Endodontics
"We don't just treat teeth — we treat people. And we understand that a root canal can be daunting. Our goal is to make it a calm, comfortable, and successful experience." — Dr. Hira
How we're different
Endodontic treatment requires a high level of skill and technology. Here's what sets us apart:
1. Operating microscope for precision
We use dental operating microscopes that provide up to 25x magnification — allowing us to see and treat tiny canals, hidden fractures, and complex anatomy that's invisible to the naked eye.
2. CBCT 3D imaging
For challenging cases, we use cone-beam CT scans to visualize the tooth and surrounding bone in 3D — ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
3. Gentle, numbing-first approach
We use advanced anaesthetic techniques to ensure you feel nothing during the procedure. We also offer sedation options for anxious patients.
4. Same-day emergency care
Toothaches and infections can't wait. We prioritise emergency endodontic cases and offer same-day appointments for urgent relief.
"I was terrified of root canals. Dr. Hira explained everything, used the microscope, and I honestly felt nothing. The tooth is saved, and I'm so grateful I didn't extract it." — Nadia R., patient since 2024
Technology & materials
We use biocompatible materials for all root canal fillings — including gutta-percha and advanced sealers that promote healing. Our rotary instruments are made from nickel-titanium for flexibility and efficiency, allowing us to clean canals thoroughly while minimising risk of perforation.
Our digital workflow includes:
- CBCT scanning for detailed 3D imaging.
- Electronic apex locators to precisely measure root length.
- Operating microscopes for magnification and illumination.
- Digital radiography for minimal radiation and instant results.
Do you need endodontic care?
If you have persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a tooth that's darkening in colour, you may need endodontic treatment. We also see patients with cracked teeth, traumatic injuries, and failed previous root canals.
Your first visit includes a thorough examination, digital X-rays or CBCT if needed, and a detailed explanation of your treatment options — with transparent pricing and a clear timeline.
