Endodontist Leicester for root canal treatment
Endodontist Leicester represents a private dental practice performing root canal treatment for permanent and deciduous teeth. We are situated in Stoneygate, Leicester at Dentique dental practice.
Endodontist is a dentist specialising in a narrow field of dentistry called endodontics. In simple words, if you’ve been told that your tooth needs to be removed because it has got a dental abscess, the endodontist can save this tooth and you will be able to use it for many years ahead.
Dentist specialising in root canal treatments can also retreat a previously root filled tooth and prolong its life span.
Root canal treatment procedure consists of several short appointments in which the dentist will clean the tooth canals, drain the infection and disinfect the inside of the tooth. After sealing the root canals and the pulp chamber the symptoms disappear and the tooth feels like the rest of your teeth – symptomless, smooth and stable.
Our endodontist Angel has obtained an MSc degree in Endodontics from Chester University and performs endodontic treatments with very high success rate. Angel has been accepting endodontic referrals from several dental practices in Leicester and Leicestershire. This means that if a general practitioner dentist finds the root canal treatment challenging, Angel can step in and finish this endodontic procedure and avoid the tooth extraction. The success rate is communicated with the patient before the commencement of the root canal treatment.
Before that start of the endodontic treatment please ring our dental practice in Leicester on the number you will find on this website. You will contact our lovely reception team and they will assist you with booking a consultation appointment. During this first appointment the dentist will x-ray the tooth or depending on the case we may take a CT scan which is a 3-dementional image of the area. After clinical examination we can diagnose the problematic tooth and suggest a treatment plan. The patient then receives a quote and can decide how to proceed.
In our practice, we have found that around 10% of patients coming in for endodontic consultation actually need some other type of treatment or even no treatment at all. Having said this, we strongly advise to seek second opinion from a dentist specialising in endodontic treatments in Leicester to avoid confusion and misdiagnosing. This will save you a lot of troubles and unnecessary bills.
Our endodontic practice is conveniently located at Stoneygate, Leicester with access to a free parking and cosy reception area. We are currently accepting patients from surrounding cities like Kettering, Nottingham, Derby, Market Harborough, Northampton, Hinckley, Rugby and Peterborough.
Our reception team is trained to give dental advice so they can be quite helpful when it comes to managing dental problems. For clinical advice however you need to be seen by a specialist.
Root canal treatment
Primary endodontic treatments consists of cleaning and shaping the root canal system and obturating it with biocompatible sealant to avoid future infections
Treating dental abscess
Tooth abscess and its corresponding signs and symptoms like swelling, pain and discomfort can be eliminated by removing the infection and keeping the tooth in the mouth
Don’t remove your tooth – Save it with root canal endodontic treatment
Success rate of root canal treatments goes up to 90%. We have seen root treated teeth being in the mouth for 20+ years
Diagnosing VRF (vertical root fractures)
This is the most challenging endodontic condition which cannot be treated by any means. In many cases x-rays and CT scans cannot reveal a vertical root fracture. These teeth need to be diagnosed at an early stage and are untreatable
Apicectomy
This is a minor surgical procedure performed by the endodontist to chop off the apex of the infected root and curette out the infected periapical tissues. Although it is very close to the oral surgery field apicectomies are often performed by endodontists
Root canal treatment for deciduous baby teeth
If a milk baby tooth has an abscess, does it need removing? The answer is no, the baby tooth is better to be treated and saved. By maintaining the structure and integrity of the deciduous teeth the patient improves the chance of proper alignment of the permanent adult teeth.
