Root Canal (Endodontics)

Save Your Infected Teeth With Endodontics

Bacteria is able to make its way to the pulp through tooth decay (causing cavities), trauma or fractures.

Linda Williams

The care I received was exemplary from my dentist Mo he made me feel completely relaxed and exxplained the procedure every step of the way I would most definitely use Dorridge again for any root canal work.

How Does Bacteria Get to the Pulp?

Bacteria is able to make its way to the pulp through tooth decay (causing cavities), trauma or fractures.

How Can I Prevent Having a Root Canal?

By visiting your dentist for regular checks ups they will be able to monitor your oral health and identify if there are any problems. If your dentist finds any cavities, it is recommended to have a filling (white fillings available), as this will prevent the bacteria from going any further and infecting the pulp.

If you have cavities and you haven’t started to feel pain, it is also recommended to not leave it as when you do start to feel pain/sensitivity, it is generally a sign that the bacteria has progressed closer to the tooth’s nerve.

Currently undergoing Invisalign treatment at Ascent Dental in Solihull. My partner has also had root canal and various other treatments and we can’t praise the team highly enough! Friendly, professional and highly skilled, I actually look forward to visiting the dentist which is something I never thought I would say as I used to have a real fear of the dentist chair! The staff are amazing from the minute you walk through the door and I am extremely happy I found Ascent Dental. Thank you!

Should I Have My Tooth Extracted or a Root Canal?

This will depend how severe the infection is, but extractions are always our last resort because your natural teeth are very important and no replacement (even though they are very effective with modern dentistry), will be as good as a natural tooth.

What’s the Procedure?

The dentist will completely remove the bacteria and the roots from the tooth. They will then use a solid filling material to completely fill the pulp chamber which will prevent any further complications in the future.

Comfortable and Pain-Free

Root canal treatment has a reputation as one of the least comfortable dental treatments. But things have changed.

How Long Do Root Canals Take?

This will be very much case dependant as there are a few factors that can determine the complexity of the case:

Location of tooth
Multiple teeth being treated (case dependent, if in same quadrant etc)
How many roots in affected teeth
Curved roots

At the free consultation our dentist will be able to give you an idea on how long your case should take to complete.

Is the Treatment Painful?

The area being treated will be numbed before the treatment begins. But because we will be treating the nerve of the tooth, there can be some slight discomfort during treatment. Our dentists will ensure they go at a slow pace, making the treatment as comfortable and pain free as possible.

We also offer IV sedation which will make the whole treatment very hazy and unmemorable (popular with very nervous patients).

I had my two front crowns taken out and replaced with implants and a further crown fitted by Faresh and have nothing but praise for the whole team. The Surgery is welcoming and peaceful and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Faresh is not only extremely skilled in the mechanical and surgical sides of dentistry, he also has an excellent chair-side manner and makes you relaxed and confident. The process was long and at times painful but the treatment and support was first rate and the result was worth it. I am a very satisfied and happily smiling customer!! Thank you Ascent Dental

Linda Wadley

As someone who has a dreadful fear of the dentist chair, I would like to thank both Laura for sorting out my emergency tooth problem and Jaz for his kindness and for his approach to my fears. Thank you all for your professionalism and most of all your kindness to someone who has a huge fear of dentists

Dexter Hastings

I had my teeth whiten here and was amazed by the results. Great care and information from Doctor Yasmin Shajarchy would highly recommend them to anyone

Katie Millward

Very professional and I absolutely love my teeth. Highly recommend this place.

Stephen Allard

I have been visiting Ascent Dental for a year now as I required an implant to one of my front teeth. I have been treated by Dr Faresh Desai and I have found him to be very skilled technically and someone who has extremely high standards with regard to his treatment and the appearance of the finnished product. I would recommend him and his team, who are all very friendly and efficient. Before choosing Ascent Dental I explored a number of other dentist who all came up short with regard to my expectations, but Faresh has met all of them and as such I have now had a second implant.

Sophie K

I had a lingual brace fitted to my top teeth with Ascent Dental last year and I am very pleased with the results. I had some overcrowding and crookedness which has now been resolved and I feel much more confident with my smile! I would definitely recommend this type of brace if you are wishing to straighten your teeth invisibly, no one even noticed that I had a brace unless I pointed it out. The staff were very helpful and supportive during my treatment. I am now considering having my bottom teeth done with the same type of brace.

Amit Pabari

I have always been conscious of my teeth however I am so happy with my veneers. The team at Ascent Dental explained everything in detail to me and were very thorough. They made me feel extremely relaxed. I love my new smile.
I recommend Ascent Dental to everyone!

Put off visiting a dentist for some years and need a host of work undertaking. Laura and her assistant Georgie were great. Very professional and compassionate about relieving my anxiety about visiting a dentist. A friendly vibe throughout all the staff creates a relaxed atmosphere I’d reccomend to anyone.
