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.

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.
