When a tooth experiences a small area of decay or minor damage, a filling provides a reliable and effective way to restore its health, strength, and function. At The Ealing Dental Practice, we are committed to using high-quality filling materials and techniques to ensure a comfortable experience and a long-lasting, natural-looking result that keeps your smile healthy and happy.
A filling works by carefully removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and then sealing the area with a durable material. This prevents further decay and helps to restore the tooth to its original shape and function, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

For over 40 years, The Ealing Dental Practice has been dedicated to providing exceptional dental care, always putting your comfort and health first. We understand that the words “root canal” can sometimes sound a little daunting, but we want to assure you that this is a treatment designed to bring you significant relief and save a tooth that might otherwise be lost. In fact, many of our patients tell us it’s a procedure that makes them feel so much better!
When a tooth becomes deeply infected or significantly decayed, root canal therapy offers a way to preserve it. At The Ealing Dental Practice, your peace of mind is our top priority from the moment we determine that a root canal is needed. We take the time to explain everything clearly and offer a range of options to manage any anxiety and ensure you feel completely at ease throughout the process. Our experienced dental team is committed to making your root canal treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
It’s important to be aware of potential signs that could indicate an infection within your tooth. These may include:
Ignoring these symptoms can have serious consequences for your oral health, potentially leading to increased pain, a dental abscess, or even the loss of the tooth. If you’re experiencing any of these issues and are unsure, please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment at The Ealing Dental Practice for a thorough consultation and evaluation.
For the majority of our patients, a root canal can be completed in just one visit to our practice. We begin by ensuring the tooth and the surrounding area are completely numbed with local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any discomfort during the procedure. Once the treatment is complete, we often recommend protecting the tooth with a porcelain crown to restore its strength and prevent future fractures.
After the anaesthetic has taken effect, our skilled dental professionals will carefully access the inside of your tooth. Depending on the extent of the infection in the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), the treatment may be completed in one or two appointments. If the infection is severe, we may place a special medicated dressing inside the tooth for a week or two to effectively eliminate the bacteria before completing the root canal. A temporary filling will be placed to keep the area clean and protected between appointments. We may also carefully adjust the height of the tooth slightly to ensure it doesn’t take too much pressure when you bite.
It’s normal to experience some mild discomfort or tenderness in the treated area for a day or two following your root canal, similar to what you might feel before the treatment. We advise avoiding chewing on that side of your mouth until any tenderness has subsided. Your dentist at The Ealing Dental Practice will discuss the best long-term restoration for your tooth, which often includes a porcelain crown. It’s important to remember that teeth that have had root canal treatment can be more susceptible to fracture, which is why a protective crown is usually recommended.
You won't feel any pain during your root canal at The Ealing Dental Practice thanks to the effective local anaesthetic we use. In fact, by removing the infection, the treatment will relieve the pain you were experiencing before.
Root canal treatment at The Ealing Dental Practice has a very high success rate and typically lasts a lifetime, providing a long-term solution for your tooth.
Choosing a root canal at The Ealing Dental Practice effectively treats the infection while saving your natural tooth. This is often the best option for your long-term oral health, helping to avoid the need for bridges, dentures, or implants.
If you're experiencing tooth pain from an infection, it's likely to worsen. Delaying treatment can lead to further complications, including potential tooth loss, a more severe infection, and the risk of a painful abscess. We encourage you to seek treatment promptly at The Ealing Dental Practice.
Unfortunately, if the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected, it cannot heal on its own. Without root canal treatment from The Ealing Dental Practice, the infection will likely persist and could eventually lead to tooth loss and other health issues.
We look forward to welcoming you to our practice. To schedule your first appointment:
