What is root canal treatment?

Save your natural tooth, pain-free

Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, relieving pain and saving a tooth that might otherwise need extraction. Using modern rotary techniques and effective local anaesthesia, the procedure at our Leeds clinic is comfortable — most patients say it feels no different to having a filling.

What to expect & aftercare

Comfortable treatment, lasting results

Treatment is usually completed in one or two visits. Afterwards the tooth is sealed and often protected with a crown for long-term strength. Mild tenderness for a day or two is normal and settles with over-the-counter pain relief. We will give you clear aftercare guidance before you leave.

Dr Fadi was very good at explaining everything and being kind and gentle. Doing a root canal treatment sounded scary to me but I felt very comfortable.

Αργυρώ Ντάνη

A huge thank you to Fadi and the rest of the team at Clarendon. I booked with for a root canal treatment. The customer care I received was excellent throughout.

Fadi was an excellent dentist. I was extremely apprehensive prior to my root canal treatment. But he was super informative and reassuring throughout the procedure.

Rhiannon Thackwray

Having recently had a need for a root canal and crown I was referred to see Fadi, I have a fear of needles and the usual dislike of dental work, but Fadi was brilliant.

Sean Killen

I have had two complicated root canal treatments performed by Fadi within the last year - the most recent being this week. I am a very nervous patient and he was absolutely brilliant.

Helen Jackson

I feel very grateful that my teeth ended up in the capable hands of skilled dentist/endodontist Dr Fadi Kreishan at Clarendon Dental Spa. I had two procedures and both were painless and expertly done.

Marian Sommer

Dr Fadi Kreishan was an amazing dentist he treated my infected tooth with a root canal and saved my tooth. He is so professional and talented and that was from someone who has a severe dentist phobia.

Peter Horton

Soumia was fantastic during Inlay procedure making me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process!

Michael Doherty

Had a tooth that had started to crumble, thanks to Soumia who managed to rebuild it, patience, perfection and determination thank you x

Carol Coleman

Had my first ever filling yesterday and Aisha and the nurse were wonderful. They were reassuring, explained everything both before and during the procedure, and I felt completely comfortable.

Catherine Mcintosh

Aisha Al-Salam was very friendly and reassuring and went above and beyond in salvaging a problematic tooth. A lovely practice with a great team and a wonderful dentist. Thank you so much!

Russell Midgley

I recently visited for a filling on a chipped tooth and a root treatment. Dr Aisha was excellent - very professional, friendly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedures.

Jin Jieh Kok

I was abroad and broke my front two teeth whilst on holiday in Spain in 2014. From first moment Ahmed looked at photos and explained all my options in simple language, putting me at ease about the emergency dental care I received. And since then, any other dentist might have immediately pressured me into going for the high-cost implant options, but Sumaya & Ahmed cemented the work already done to make it stronger & I continue to use the remnants of my existing teeth to this day. I am so grateful to Clarendons & cannot recommend them enough for their honesty and expertise.

Qasim Nawaz

Excellent quality service from dentist Ahmed and nurse Jeni. It has restored my faith in dentists and I now have the smile I have always wanted. The price was very reasonable for the work I had done and I felt as though Ahmed advised me well regarding the options available and associated costs. The practice is very modern and well maintained and the staff are helpful and welcoming.

Dave Madon

I have had a severe phobia of the dentist for over 15 years and the level of service at Clarendon Dental Spa is second to none. Thanks to their fantastic staff I am now attending regular check ups and having treatment, which in the past I avoided as I was so afraid. My recent treatment with Ahmed and Jenni went successfully and I managed to get a filling and clean without anaesthetic. This would not have been possible without their expertise, professionalism and fantastic supportive manner. They really took the time to keep me comfortable and calm. I can't recommend Clarendon Dental Spa enough as they have genuinely transformed my perception of going to the dentist and helped me conquer a phobia, which I never thought possible.

Jo Nassor

Root canal, two words sure to strike fear into the bravest of people. I'm not brave, but not wanting to lose my tooth, and face an implant at £2500, I steadied myself and agreed to the work. Ahmed Al Ani, my dentist of many years, booked me in with the practice specialist for this work, Peter Nixon... After Peter, and his dental assistant, had fitted a temporary capping to the tooth I was referred back to Ahmed, the practice specialist in cosmetic dentistry. This is the Clarendon difference. Everyone has a specialist area and they alone do that work... I'm overjoyed with my new tooth.

Brynley Talbot

I had a root canal as a child on my front tooth and ever since it's been a horrible stained colour. In some photos it was really noticeable and I was so conscious of it. I looked in to getting a veneer to cover it, however when I went to see Ahmed Al Ani he said I didn't need veneers but internal whitening. It was a really quick procedure (about 10 mins) and the bleach whitened the tooth in 2 days. I'm so happy I didn't need to pay for veneers as my tooth is now the same colour as my other teeth and looks so much better! Ahmed al ani knows so much about teeth whitening, he explained everything in a lot of detail and could answer any questions I had. He was honest about what would work for my teeth and what wouldn't, advising me on how best to save money instead of pushing lots of treatments when they weren't needed. Thanks so much I wouldn't go anywhere for dental treatment after this experience.

FAQs

Your questions about root canal treatment, answered

Frequently asked questions

Is a root canal painful?

Modern root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthetic and most patients find it no more uncomfortable than a routine filling.

How long does root canal treatment take?

Most root canals are completed in one or two appointments, each around 60–90 minutes depending on the tooth.

Will I need a crown afterwards?

Often yes — a crown protects and strengthens a root-treated tooth, especially back teeth that take heavy chewing forces.
