Root Canal Treatment Bromley FAQs
We are not a specialist endodontic clinic, however our experienced general dentists routinely carry out many successful root canal treatments for patients across Bromley and the surrounding areas.
In cases where a complex or highly specialised root canal treatment is required, we will refer you to one of our trusted endodontic referral centres for the best possible outcome.
Our priority is always your health and comfort—whether we treat you in-house or connect you with a local specialist.
root canal alternatives include tooth extraction followed by a dental bridge, dental implants or dentures. Our dentists will assess your case and recommend the best treatment based on your oral health and preferences.
Root canal treatments have a high success rate, typically around 90%. Success depends on various factors, such as the tooth’s condition, the dentist’s skill, and proper aftercare. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to maintain the treated tooth’s long-term health.
After treatment, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling visits for regular dental check-ups. It’s best to avoid chewing on hard foods or using the treated tooth to bite down excessively.
Although rare, complications can occur, such as reinfection, a cracked tooth, or a missed canal during treatment. Your dentist will take precautions to minimise these risks and promptly address any complications that arise.
In most cases, the treated tooth will look and function just like the rest of your teeth. However, if the tooth is extensively damaged, a dental crown may be recommended to strengthen and protect it. Our dentists will discuss the best restoration options to restore your tooth’s appearance and functionality.
