Does a root canal hurt?

No. The tooth is fully numbed and modern root canal treatment feels much like having a filling, just longer. The toothache beforehand is what hurts; the treatment stops it.

Is it cheaper to extract a tooth than have root canal treatment?

Extraction is cheaper on the day, from £126, but replacing the lost tooth with a bridge, denture or implant often costs more over time. Where a tooth is worth saving, root canal treatment usually offers better long-term value.

Root Canal Treatment from £305

Root Canal Treatment in Bollington.

Root canal treatment (endodontics) is designed to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed due to infection or deep decay.

How much does root canal treatment cost?

Root canal treatment at Bollington Dental Practice starts from £305, with the exact price depending on the tooth: front teeth have one canal, while molars have three or four and take longer. You will receive a written treatment plan with the exact cost before treatment begins. A back tooth is often best protected with a crown afterwards, and we will include that in the plan if it applies. All prices are on our fees page.

Does root canal treatment hurt?

This is the treatment with the most unfair reputation in dentistry. In reality, the tooth is fully numbed and modern root canal treatment feels much like having a filling, just longer. It is the toothache beforehand that hurts; the treatment is what makes it stop.

Is it better to save the tooth or extract it?

An extraction is cheaper on the day, from £126, but losing the tooth often costs more in the long run once you factor in replacing it with a bridge, denture or implant to protect your bite. Where a tooth is worth saving, root canal treatment usually offers the best value over time, and a well-treated tooth can last many years. We will lay out both routes honestly and let you decide.

What to expect

We’ll gently remove the infected tissue from inside the tooth, disinfect the root canals, and then seal them to prevent reinfection. Finally, we usually protect the tooth with a crown for strength and longevity.

Comfort and reassurance

Many patients worry about root canals. Root canal treatment has an undeserved reputation for being uncomfortable – in reality, it’s no more uncomfortable than having a filling, it just takes longer! We use modern techniques and effective local anaesthetics to keep you comfortable, and we’ll check in with you throughout to make sure you feel at ease.

Fantastic care. My teenage daughter broke her front tooth badly. Within 4 hours of calling, they were able to squeeze in an emergency appointment, and Ellie and the team did the most fantastic cosmetic repair, such that it looked like nothing had happened at all. Really good service, and really appreciated. Thank you.

Peter M

I hadn’t visited a dentist for many years as I wear dentures. However, I needed some new dentures, and as I live in Bollington, I decided to book at my local surgery. I cannot praise them enough. They were very easy to deal with, and Ellie, the dentist who took care of me, was very helpful and reassuring. I highly recommend the surgery.

Brian M

Excellent! Top staff- experienced expert dentist with first-class bedside manner and pain-free examination/procedures. Everything is discussed with the patient. Clear explanations. Immaculately clean. Seen on time. Good premises, modern and fit for purpose. Seen on time, and a choice of follow-up appointment dates and times offered. Very efficient admin/receptionist. I have NO negative comments.

Always given helpful treatment. Reception always polite and helpful. Prices for treatment continue to rise but I think having the necessary work done and seeing a Hygenist too, is worth the charges for now. Our family has been a customer of Bollington dentist for over 40 years and we prefer to stay with this Practice.

Myself and my family have been coming to Bollington Dental Practice for years and to say they are great, is an understatement! My two children feel so comfortable in the practice and enjoy coming, which is a testament to everyone as we know how a lot of children can feel about visiting a dentist! They come in, make themselves at home and enjoy learning about their teeth and what the dentists are doing! Sarah the Practice Manager is absolutely brilliant, we have such a laugh when speaking with her, on the phone and in person and she’s always so welcoming and accommodating to fit all of our busy schedules in! Myself and my husband recently had a hygienist appointment with Molly and Deb who we haven’t been to before, who were just brilliant! Their knowledge and advice was second to none and again just an enjoyable experience with us chatting away the whole time! Thanks again everyone! X

As an older patient she has really impressed me with her kindness and interpersonal skills, she is always polite and considerate to her colleagues and patients and the work she has done for me is just perfect. Thank you Evie and all the team at Bollington Dental Practice

Bernadette Davies

07:23 14 Nov 25

I am one of those people who is genuinely frightened of going to the dentists, until its absolutely necessary. I used to see Mr King at BDP, who was so good at making me feel at ease and helping me get through any dental treatment. When Mr King retired I was reluctant to return to the practice. However I started to experience pain and had to attend and have treatment. Ellie Burrows was my allocated dentist. Ellie is the most amazing dentist, she takes time to explain each procedure , giving information in a clear and concise way. I was encouraged to ask questions and to take time to think about the treatment. Ellie gives injections that can't be felt going into your gums, she uses drills ( my biggest phobia ) like feathers. I really can't recommend her highly enough, and during a root canal treatment I managed to fall asleep. I think Debbie 🤔 is Ellie's dental assistant, she was also so welcoming and professional. I can't thank them enough and would recommend them for managing my fears and insecurities, and making my visits such a positive experience. Thank you Bollington dental practice x

Anthony McCluskey

12:59 29 Oct 25

Today I saw Paula and her colleague for a dental hygiene appointment. They’re both friendly, efficient, punctual and helpful with any queries I had. I was sad to see Dave King leave the Practice after he looked after my teeth since my mid teens. However, it has been very reassuring to now feel that the new business is in such good hands and continues to be an excellent Practice

BUT - Ellie Burrows is professional, transparent regarding treatment ahead of starting, thorough - and I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.

For a difficult extraction the dentist performed then analysed carefully an X ray, steering me prudently towards a specialist. She gave me a free post-extraction follow up session, with very clear and thoughtful advice on a potential implant or a dental plate. I was impressed.

Mark Hartell

I moved to the Bollington area 10 years ago After neglecting my teeth for several years I needed treatment and found Heather. I joined the practices monthly payment scheme which covers annual inspection and hygiene visits, therefore have looked after my teeth ever since. I have just had some subtle cosmetic work done on my front teeth. Heather was so patient and thorough and I am really pleased with with the outcome I wouldn’t go anywhere else, Heather and all the staff are amazing

Si Carless

15:04 19 Jun 25

Fabulous service. I had a tooth extracted and the pain got worse over 3 weeks. I rang up and was offered a same day appointment which I couldn’t make. I went the following morning and Ellie x-rayed the area, rinsed it out (as I had a small infection) then prescribed me antibiotics which seem to be working well, 2 days later.

I have been coming to this practice since I was a little girl. And even moving to Macclesfield 27 years ago I was not going to change to a Macclesfield dentist as this is without a shadow of a doubt the best dental practice in the area. The entire staff here are amazing very helpful, professional and very friendly I have known them a long time. Special mention to my dentist Alison who is very professional, friendly helpful and excellent in what she does in her line of work. And always makes me feel at ease and relaxed. Thanks to all at Bollington Dental, always a pleasure.

Paula Lomas

I have been attending Bollington Dental surgery since I was a little girl. The Dentists, nurses and desk staff have always looked after me, made me feel comfortable and explained treatments to me in simple terms. They now look after my children too, who have both had to be referred to orthodontist and are now back under Heathers care. They really are amazing, kind, professional people. Highly recommended.

About twenty-five years ago, after neglecting my dental health for far too long due to a fear of dentistry, I had the good fortune to be referred to David King and the team at Bollington Dental Practice. Mr King performed wonders to save my teeth that were close to unsustainable. However, with his good management and skill, reinforced with regular maintenance by hygienists at the practice, any embarrassment about the condition of my teeth has long since been a thing of the past. Nevertheless, over the past year, a front tooth had started to loosen and I reluctantly agreed that bridging the tooth was the best option. Then I was faced not just with concern about the treatment but also about the outcome. I need not have been concerned on either count. The work was carried out with care and professionalism, as ever, and the outcome was, to me, incredible. Needless to say, I have nothing but praise for everyone at Bollington Dental Practice. Clearly for Mr King, but also the hygienists, nurses and reception staff, and if my experience is anything to go by I'm confident that the other dentist's at Bollington Dental Practice are excellent as well.

Dr King is an amazing dentist, he is very good at setting you at ease and is the perfect dentist for anyone who is nervous or reluctant. I have had a few fillings over the years and I can be a bit anxious but he always makes it an easy and positive experience. I would seriously recommend him. The practice is lovely and has plenty of parking, the receptionist is so nice, it is the best dentist I have ever even heard of!
