Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics)
Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics) is needed when the nerve inside the tooth becomes infected through decay or trauma.
You may not feel any pain in the early stages of the infection. In some cases, your tooth could darken in colour. This can mean that the tooth has died or is dying.
If the root canal is left untreated, a painful abscess may develop, and the infection could spread. A tooth with dead pulp will usually have to be removed.
The Treatment
It is a skilled and time consuming procedure which can take two or more visits. We will provide you with an estimate and treatment plan at the start of your treatment.
The Results
The treatment has a high success rate and usually lasts many years. However, if the infection does return we can repeat the treatment.
In the past a tooth would often darken after Root Canal Treatment, but Smile Studio Penarth uses modern techniques to reduce the risk of this. If there is any discolouration we can offer a number of treatments to restore the natural appearance of your teeth.

I was at the end of my tether when my friend suggested I try her dentists … so glad I did. The situation was unfortunately complicated and seemed to involve all manner of suggested maladies and problems, with little relief from painful teeth in the two and a bit years previously. Rory was patient, assured and knowledgeable. The studio is equipped with diagnostic tools that other dentists seemed not to have. Over a few weeks, and with an eventual intervention by the dental hospital we were able to resolve the most wearing of the problems. And with none of the alarming conditions or treatments that had been suggested as a solution before. I also have always had sensitive teeth and soft gums, and have some trouble breathing through my nose (not fun during a filling). Rory and Smile have made these things as easy as possible. Very happy to commmed . John Mcinally13/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When it comes to dentist, I’m absolutely petrified!

Top job, would highly recommended Smile Studio, Penarth. paul ford03/04/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my top teeth straightened, aligned and whitened by Rory. It takes time but has been so worth it. Rory explained each step at the outset and was very patient with my endless questions. There were a couple of choices along the way and Rory helped me think through the best approach for me. End to end it was a great experience and the whole team at Smile were brilliant. I would highly recommend. T B29/03/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Being someone who’s pretty much scared of the dentist, it was with trepidation I entered into Smles Studio in Penarth. Rory was very understanding of my anxiety and I can honestly say i didn’t feel a thing having root canal work. Apart from relieving my pain, Rory did a good assessment of my teeth and came up with a plan. That plan was completed today and I am extremely happy that I can now smile without embarrassment. I would highly recommend. Many thanks. Kay Smith28/02/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Best Dental Practice I have ever used!
