Save Your Tooth. Stop the Pain.
For people in Nottingham with an infected tooth who want to save it — not lose it.
You're in pain. We can help.
Tooth pain that keeps you awake. Sensitivity that won't go away. Maybe you've been told you need a root canal and you're dreading it.
Here's the truth: modern root canal treatment is no worse than having a filling. At our Nottingham practice, the procedure relieves your pain and saves your natural tooth — often for many more years of service.
Before
Severe pain, can't eat on that side, worried about losing the tooth
After

Saving Teeth Others Might Extract
Not all root canals are straightforward. For complex cases, our dentist with special interest in endodontics brings advanced expertise.
01
Honest Assessment
We'll tell you honestly if a tooth can be saved — and whether extraction might be the better option for your situation.
02
Specialist Available
For difficult cases — retreatments, unusual anatomy, or teeth that have failed treatment elsewhere — our endodontic specialist takes over.
03
Complete Care
Root canal treatment usually needs a crown for long-term protection. We plan the whole treatment, not just the first step.
Your Investment
Crown usually required afterward (from £978). Saving your natural tooth is almost always better than extraction + implant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?+
No — this is a myth. Modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than having a filling. You'll have local anaesthetic and won't feel the procedure. Most clients report relief from the toothache that brought them to us.
What if I don't have treatment?+
The infection will spread, causing increasing pain and potentially an abscess. Eventually, the tooth will need extracting. Root canal treatment saves your natural tooth — often for many more years.
Will I need a crown afterward?+
Usually, yes. A root-treated tooth becomes more brittle over time. A crown protects it and extends its lifespan significantly. We'll factor this into your treatment plan.

Told Your Tooth Can't Be Saved?
It may be worth a second opinion. Our endodontic specialist regularly treats cases that have failed elsewhere or been deemed untreatable.
