Frequently asked
How much does root canal treatment cost in Golders Green?
Our current fee guide lists root canal treatment from £425 for an incisor or canine, £550 for a premolar and £725 for a molar. Complexity and any additional restoration are assessed separately, and you receive a written estimate before treatment.
Why might I need root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment may be recommended when the dental pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected because of decay, cracks, trauma or previous dental work. A clinical assessment and X-rays are needed to diagnose the cause of symptoms.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Local anaesthetic is normally used to keep treatment comfortable. The tooth may feel tender afterwards, but this usually settles. We explain what to expect and how to manage discomfort safely.
How many appointments does root canal treatment take?
The number and length of visits depend on the tooth, infection and complexity. Some cases can be treated in one visit, while others require additional appointments. We explain the likely schedule after assessment.
Will I need a crown after root canal treatment?
Some root-filled teeth, particularly back teeth, may benefit from a crown or onlay to protect remaining tooth structure. This is not identical for every tooth, so the restorative options and separate fees are discussed individually.
What happens if root canal treatment is not suitable?
We explain reasonable alternatives based on the tooth and your circumstances. These may include referral for specialist assessment or removal of the tooth, followed by a discussion of replacement options where appropriate.
