Root Canal Treatment
Restore Your Smile with Expertise and Comfort
Root canal treatment—sometimes referred to as endodontic therapy—is a procedure to treat infection or damage within the tooth’s pulp. It’s the best way to preserve your natural tooth, prevent extractions, and stop pain caused by inflamed or infected tooth nerves.
When decay or damage reaches the inner layers of a tooth, it can lead to severe discomfort, swelling, and even tooth loss. A root canal procedure removes the infected pulp, cleans the canal, and seals it, restoring the tooth’s function and appearance.
At Newstead Smiles, our mission is to deliver exceptional dental care with a personal touch. Whether you’re visiting us for a root canal, a routine check-up, or cosmetic services, you’ll experience:
Competitive pricing for the best dentist in Brisbane.
A compassionate team ready to address your concerns.
Convenient location in Newstead with ample parking and flexible appointment times.

The Root Canal Process at Newstead Smiles
Your journey to a pain-free, healthy smile involves just a few simple steps:
1. Diagnosis and Assessment: Using advanced diagnostic tools, we determine the severity of the infection and plan your treatment.
2. Gentle Cleaning and Removal: The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the canal is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate bacteria.
3. Filling and Sealing: The cleaned canal is filled with a durable material and sealed to prevent future infections.
4. Follow-Up Care: For added strength and protection, we recommend a dental crown or restoration, which we also provide in our clinic.

FAQs
Is a root canal painful?
Root canals are no longer the painful procedures they once were. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, most patients report minimal discomfort—similar to getting a filling.
What happens after the root canal?
You may experience mild sensitivity, which usually subsides in a few days. Our dentists will provide personalised aftercare instructions.
What is the cost of root canal treatment in Brisbane?
Costs can vary depending on the complexity of the case. Contact us for a consultation to get a tailored treatment plan.
Can I avoid a root canal?
While maintaining oral hygiene can prevent decay, once the pulp is infected, a root canal is often the only way to save the tooth. Extraction may be an alternative, but it’s less ideal as it requires more extensive replacement options like dental implants or bridges.
Are there side effects of a root canal?
Temporary sensitivity is common, but complications are rare when the procedure is performed by skilled dentists like those at Newstead Smiles.
