Costs vary, depending on complexity. After your initial consultation you will know all of your options, the pros and cons of each, along with associated costs. This enables you to make the choice that suits you best.

We do offer interest free finance, (subject to approval), which allows you to spread the cost of your treatment over 10 months. Alternatively, you can pay at each visit. Your clinician will advise when and what payments are due each visit.

With modern anaesthesia and techniques, root canal treatment is generally a pain free procedure. However it is likely that the patient will get some post-operative discomfort after the anaesthetic has worn off. In the vastmajority of cases this can be controlled with regular over the counter pain relief such as ibuprofen and paracetamol.

We only recommend a small field CBCT scan for the most complex of root canal treatments, and where traditional 2-D radiographs fail to give us the all the information we need.

There may be slight discomfort as the needle enters the skin, and there is the possibility of a small bruise at the site of the injection. There are many myths and horror stories circulating in the media: any concerns you may have will be addressed thoroughly prior to treatment. No long term side-effects have been reported.

With all procedures there is a possibility that it may not work. This applies to root canal treatment as well as any other treatment. There are a variety of reasons why it may not work. some of these reasons include but are not limited to:

Failure to adequately disinfect, leaving bacteria in the canal system, resulting in recurrence of infection.

Failure to instrument all the canal system.  In some teeth the root canals can be incredibly small (often as small as one tenth of a millimetre across or even smaller). Dentists who carry out a lot of root canals usually utilise high powered magnification to help them find and treat such small canals.

Failure to fill and seal the root canals adequately, allowing bacteria from the mouth to reinvade the root canal system and set up infection again.

Inappropriate instrumentation technique that does not allow for adequate disinfection and sealing of the root canals.

Severe fracture of the tooth leaving remnants that cannot be fixed again.

If the dentist feels there is a significant risk of treatment failure, possible causes will be discussed, so you can make an
informed decision regarding treatment.

Botox^® is a purified protein which when injected into a muscle leads to a temporary muscular relaxation. Frown lines, forehead, and laughter lines are all caused by the repeated contractions of facial muscles: relaxing these muscles with Botox injections is a quick, safe and effective way to smooth and soften wrinkles.

Following a thorough facial analysis and detailed discussion of the proposed treatment plan, the treatment can be started straight away, but often a separate appointment will be booked. Injections are used to administer the filler into the skin with a very fine needle causing little discomfort. However, dental local anaesthetic can be administered to provide completely pain free dermal filler administration. The gel is injected into the skin in small amounts immediately lifting and smoothing out wrinkles with the natural volume it provides.
