What is root canal therapy?

  • The process of root canal therapy is to clear infection which enables us to keep the tooth, rather than have it removed.

    When the nerve and blood vessels in a tooth have died or are dying the tooth can become very painful.

    In many cases it is necessary to follow up this treatment with a crown, to ensure the structural integrity of the weakened tooth is maintained.

    Contrary to popular belief and with the advancement of dental technology, root canal therapy is a gentle and comfortable process these days.

    If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort, contact us so we can best determine the right course of treatment for you.

Our success stories

The problem

John came in having spent several days in excruciating tooth ache due to a dental abscess. This occurred because the nerve and blood vessels in his tooth had died and an infection had formed.

The solution

We cleaned and sterilised the infected areas of the tooth and his pain immediately subsided. His tooth is still happily working away in his mouth 10 years later. These images show the tooth before the procedure and how it appears afterwards, on x-ray. The new white areas in the root system are the root canal treatment.

The problem

Caroline presented to the practice after losing faith in her previous dentist. She was concerned about a persistent lump on her gum and feared she may lose one of her front teeth. Her dentist had prescribed two courses of antibiotics, but the lump persisted. After a simple clinical and x-ray assessment, we discovered the previous root canal treatment in Caroline’s front tooth had failed, causing it to become re-infected. We discussed the problem with Caroline and suggested re-treatment of her root canal.

The solution

We carried out root canal therapy for Caroline over a series of straightforward visits, with no discomfort to the patient. We removed the old root canal filling, cleaned the canal system and placed an effective new root canal filling in its place. The series of x-rays show the initial large (dark) area of infection and how, over time, the bone repaired itself. 10 years later, Caroline still has a perfectly healthy front tooth.

    They never mentioned TK and planting wildflowers to us. Rather surprised they are even considering this as a) they don't own the plot and b) have they forgotten that the whole premise of our planning objection was that it should be left alone as it is 'a natural wildlife corridor' . Nearly as bad as the idea /suggestion from Tom and Grace that we could all club together and buy it and turn it into a nice garden or tennis court! Don't these people ever read or ever think!

    I would highly recommend Roger Scholes and his team at Market House Dental Practice. Roger is meticulous in his work. He is very calm and caring and his nursing staff are welcoming and gentle. Maaike is an outstandingly good dental hygienist, very thorough and kind. I am a very happy patient and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the practice.

    My husband needed extensive work carried out on his teeth including extractions, root work and crowns. His dentist (Joymon Sasikumar) explained work required, alternatives and carried out procedures perfectly. Everyone at the practice is very helpful and welcoming. Thank you

    I have been going to this dental practice for the last 3 years. Had to have extensive work done over a period of nearly 2 years and found the work to be excellent, producing very good results. All the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly making my experience here very pleasant. Would definitely recommend coming here.

    Market House is a highly professional and efficient dental practice, but everybody is really welcoming and friendly too - unreservedly recommended. One minor gripe has been the extended waiting times (not unexpected for a busy dentist), but that does now seem to be on the mend, and it may sometimes have been the result of last-minute emergency cases being squeezed between regular patients, which is itself reassuring. I have been with them now for 10 years, through some quite significant treatments, and I will stay with them, because they care as much about my teeth as I do, possibly more.

    Initially, I was alarmed at the prospect of a bone graft and implant procedure affecting my front teeth, but all is well! Roger Scholes’ reputation for perfectionism is well earned. He communicates with me clearly and thoughtfully at every stage of planning and treatment. The practice's high-tech scanning made the planning precise, and having a sedationist on hand meant I was completely stress and pain-free. The aftercare is proactive too. The whole team - the receptionists, hygienists and technical staff - is friendly, professional and genuinely caring. For both general dental care and complex needs, I recommend this practice without reservation.

    I unhesitatingly recommend and give Market House dental surgery 5 stars. My family and I have been patients for many years, from when as a young couple we first arrived in Chichester. I already had poor teeth owing to lack of good care in my childhood, but I received excellent treatment from, at that time, Roger Scholes’s father. When Roger James took over the practice , he continued to provide the highest standards of treatment, for which the practice was already well known. I have three children, all of whom have had excellent dental care throughout their childhood, have fine, healthy teeth , and are now all teaching their own children the good habits Market House taught them. My own needs have been particularly challenging and I have had to have a large number of crowns, bridges and implants over the years, for which I have been very grateful, as thanks to Market House, I was able to continue in my career which involved a lot of public speaking. They gave me the confidence to carry on without the constant fear that something might drop out! When emergencies have arisen out of hours, I have always been able to contact them and if necessary, be treated. Roger continues to stay at the cutting edge of the latest research and excellent dental practice and applies that knowledge skilfully in his treatments, always carefully discussing and explaining any procedures beforehand. I have always been treated with respect, dignity and compassion, and Roger's dental nurses and staff have cheerfully stayed beyond their time on several occasions to finish a long treatment. I am very, very grateful to them. I have now moved to Exmouth in Devon, but continue to come back to Market House for my treatment and have no intention of changing. I know I can trust them to provide the best possible treatment , with the highest standards of dentistry , professional expertise and knowledge. Definitely 5 stars.
