Our Root Canal Treatment Services
Simply Teeth Essex is an expert dental practice offering Root Canal Treatment. Same-day appointments are available seven days a week.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is designed to save a tooth that has become severely decayed or infected. The process involves removing the infected pulp surrounding the tooth’s nerve, preventing further damage and preserving the tooth.
If not dealt with, infection may spread through the root canal system and eventually lead to an abscess, causing significant discomfort. If root canal treatment is not carried out, the tooth may need removal.

How Our Root Canal Treatment Process Works
We’ve broken down the root canal treatment into five stages to give you a better idea of what will happen during your treatment appointments.
5 Stages of Root Canal Treatment
1. Local Anaesthetic
Our experienced dentist administers a local anaesthetic to ensure you remain pain-free during the procedure.
2. Access Preparation
The dentist drills a small opening in the tooth to access the root canal system.
3. Cleaning
The root canal is thoroughly cleaned to remove infected pulp and bacteria.
4. Temporary Seal
The cleaned canals are temporarily filled, and a temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth.
5. Permanent Restoration
At a follow-up visit, the temporary filling is replaced with a permanent one, and a crown may need to be added. This final step secures the tooth, allowing it to function normally for years.
Our dentists will answer any questions about the treatments and aftercare before treatment starts. It’s important to us that you are relaxed and confident, knowing you are in good hands.

FAQ’s about Root Canal Treatment
Do you have a question about Root Canal Treatment?
Read our frequently asked questions below. Still not sure? Our friendly team will be happy to help.
Why is root canal treatment necessary?
The nerve in your tooth lies within a narrow passage called the root canal. When this area becomes infected, it can cause intense pain. Left untreated, the infection can lead to serious health issues, including the formation of an abscess, which only intensifies the discomfort.
If you’re in pain, don’t wait—contact us for a same-day appointment. We’re available seven days a week to provide the care you need.
What are the dangers of not having the treatment when you need it?
If you delay treatment, you risk losing the tooth as the infection can spread, causing further decay and affecting nearby teeth.
In severe cases, an untreated infection can spread to other parts of the body, with potentially serious consequences. Though rare, complications like brain damage or death can occur. Don’t wait—contact us immediately for assessment and treatment.
How long does the procedure take?
Most single-root canal procedures take under an hour, while those involving multiple roots typically last less than two hours.
How long will I need to recover from the treatment?
After your root canal appointment, swelling and some discomfort are expected. This usually subsides within 24 hours.
You may be given antibiotics and painkillers to take home with you if required.
For a smooth recovery, follow any instructions our Simply Teeth Essex dentist provides and contact us if you have any concerns.
Is the treatment safe?
Millions of patients undergo root canal treatment each year. Complications are very rare.
Will there be any lasting side-effects of the treatment or will it be noticable?
How much does root canal treatment typically cost?
The cost of root canal treatment can range from a couple of hundred pounds up to many thousands of pounds, depending on the exact state of your teeth and gums, their overall health, and the level of treatment that you require.
