Severe toothache or infection? Don’t lose the tooth — save it. Our gentle, experienced team performs comfortable root canals that relieve your pain and preserve your natural smile, with sedation and flexible payment plans available.
A root canal, also known as endodontic therapy, is a treatment designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. The inner part of your tooth — the pulp — contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue.
When this pulp becomes inflamed or infected (from deep decay, trauma or other causes), a root canal becomes necessary. It removes the infection while keeping your natural tooth intact — so you avoid extraction and a costly replacement.
A clear, comfortable procedure — here’s exactly what happens.
We numb the area around the tooth for minimal discomfort.
A small opening is made in the crown to reach the inflamed pulp.
The infected pulp, nerves and blood vessels are carefully removed.
The canals are meticulously cleaned and shaped to remove bacteria.
Canals are filled with a special material and sealed against reinfection.
A crown or filling restores the tooth’s strength and function.
Infection or swelling of the tooth nerve (the pulp) can happen for several reasons:
The procedure varies depending on which tooth is affected.
Front teeth (incisors & canines) — simpler, with one or two canals.
Back teeth (premolars & molars) — more complex anatomy.
Both anterior and posterior root canals have high success rates when performed by a skilled dentist. We use X-rays to map the number and curvature of your canals before we begin.
Led by Dr Shaveta Bhayani and Dr Nick Bhayani with 25+ years of combined experience, our team is focused on saving your tooth while keeping you completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
Located on Elizabeth Drive, Liverpool, we provide personalised care in a warm, welcoming environment — with sedation options and flexible payment plans so nothing stands between you and pain relief.

A root canal removes infected or damaged pulp from a tooth, saving it from extraction. It’s necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed due to decay, trauma or infection.
We numb the area, access the pulp, remove the infected tissue, clean and shape the canals, fill and seal them, and finally restore the tooth with a crown or filling.
Root canals preserve your natural tooth, reduce pain, prevent the spread of infection, and are generally more cost-effective than extraction and replacement.
Some mild discomfort after the procedure, the cost, and possibly needing multiple appointments depending on the tooth’s complexity. Any soreness is easily managed with medication.
Posterior (back) teeth usually require crowns due to higher biting pressure, while anterior (front) teeth may not — depending on the extent of damage and the pressure they experience.
No — the area is fully numbed and we offer IV and conscious sedation for anxious patients. Most people find it no more uncomfortable than a regular filling, and it actually relieves the pain you arrived with.
