S3 Dental Eltham provides root canal treatment from its established Well Hall Road practice in SE9. The team serves Eltham, Mottingham, Kidbrooke, Blackheath and nearby South East London areas.
ROOT CANAL TREATMENT · ELTHAM
At Eltham, the starting point for root canal treatment is a careful conversation and the examination or assessment relevant to that service. You will be told what is suitable, what alternatives exist and what each stage involves.
The practice combines neighbourhood dental care with access to clinicians whose interests cover routine and more advanced treatment: the tooth needs a diagnosis and restorability assessment, with discussion of the final restoration and whether referral is appropriate. Your Eltham plan will record the appropriate option, likely sequence and maintenance once the relevant checks are complete.
TREATMENT PLANNING
Some tenderness can occur after treatment and should gradually settle. Contact the practice if pain worsens, swelling develops or the temporary filling is lost. A successfully treated and restored tooth can remain useful for years, but healing is not guaranteed. Reinfection, cracks and restoration failure can require further treatment. Regular reviews and cleaning remain necessary even though the original pulp has been removed.
The published private fees start at £450 for simple treatment, £650 for advanced treatment and £750 for retreatment. The assessment, final restoration and any referral costs should be clarified in your written estimate. Extraction is the main alternative when a tooth cannot be retained; replacement options may then include a bridge, denture or implant. Antibiotics alone do not remove the source inside an infected tooth. Ask about NHS options where clinically appropriate and available.
YOUR OPTIONS AT S3 DENTAL ELTHAM
All treatment is subject to clinical assessment and individual suitability.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The dentist asks about symptoms, examines the tooth and takes appropriate X-rays. We assess cracks, gum support and the final restoration needed. The plan explains the likely prognosis, number of appointments and whether the canals or previous treatment make referral advisable.
Local anaesthetic is used and a rubber dam normally isolates the tooth. The dentist accesses the pulp space, removes affected tissue and cleans the canals using instruments and disinfecting solutions. A temporary dressing may be placed between visits; completing the agreed course is important.
The canals are filled and the tooth sealed against contamination. A filling, onlay or crown is then planned according to the remaining tooth and bite. Follow-up checks assess symptoms and healing; the final protective restoration is part of the long-term plan, not an optional cosmetic extra.
