An endodontist is a highly trained dentist who specialises in repairing the damaged tissues inside your tooth and the root canal system of the teeth. Patients choosing Neyo Dental for their root canal procedure will be diagnosed and treated by Dr Vanderley (practice limited to endodontics), who can confidently handle complex cases of damaged roots, tooth pain and dental abscesses.
A procedure to remove infected pulp from the tooth due to advanced dental decay. A re-root procedure is recommended when treatment has been unsuccessful elsewhere due to the infection being too severe and complex. Re-root canal treatment often has a success rate of around 80%.
Microsurgical procedure to surgically remove infections at the tooth root’s end to avoid extraction. Often recommended when a root canal alone is insufficient to clear the infection. Apicectomies can also be prescribed when the disease has advanced and travelled to the jawbone, resulting in the formation of a cyst.
A dental condition where the tooth’s root has been absorbed or broken down, diagnosed by an endodontist who will use specialised equipment to diagnose and treat the issue. Additionally, Dr Vanderley can carry out root canals on teeth under crowns or bridges.
Following a successful root canal procedure, the tooth might be discoloured, where an endodontist can apply internal whitening treatment to bring the tooth back to its original shade.
Sometimes, your local private practice or NHS dentist might refer you to a specialist for complex endodontic treatment. However, you don’t have to wait for a referral from another practice to be seen by a specialist. Especially if you’re in pain and waiting for an appointment to see an endodontist on the NHS, which usually has long waiting lists (complex procedures like root canals on the NHS have wait times of around several weeks or months if the demand is high in your area, which is too long to delay treatment of this nature).
Patients can self-refer themselves by clicking the button below to book a consultation with our dentists for only £95 (typically the cost of average dental check-ups in general practices).
We’re a specialist clinic, and with Dr Vanderley, who has a special interest in endodontics and commits his practice to root canal treatment, we’re pleased to offer painless root canal treatments in a state-of-the-art practice.
General dentists focus on your oral health, while an endodontist specialises in diagnosing and treating pulp and tooth pain infections.
Root canals are often complex procedures. Typically, our endodontists have to deal with intricate processes that have the power to save and preserve the tooth to avoid extraction.
Therefore, patients who choose to have their treatment with an endodontist instead of a general dentist typically have higher successful outcomes.
In addition, specialists will use highly advanced specialist equipment for endodontic treatments that boost clinical outcomes and results. For example, we’ve invested in dental microscope magnification, ultrasonic files, and digital X-rays.
