Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment) in Chatswood

If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need endodontic treatment — commonly known as root canal therapy. At QC Dental, our experienced team provides root canal treatment and retreatment for patients across Chatswood, Willoughby, and the North Shore, helping you save your natural tooth and get out of pain.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Endodontic treatment addresses infection or damage inside the tooth's pulp — the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes infected or inflamed, usually due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma, root canal therapy removes the damaged tissue, cleans and disinfects the canal, and seals it to prevent further infection. This allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than having it extracted.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

• Persistent or severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure

• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the stimulus is removed

• Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth

• Discolouration of the tooth

• A recurring pimple on the gum (abscess)

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't delay — early treatment is typically more comfortable and has better outcomes than waiting.

What to Expect

Most root canal treatments at QC Dental are completed in two appointments. During your first visit, we'll assess the tooth, take any necessary imaging, and begin cleaning and shaping the canal. Local anaesthetic ensures the procedure is comfortable. A second visit completes the treatment and seals the tooth, often followed by a crown to restore strength and function.

Root Canal Retreatment

If a previous root canal hasn't fully resolved or has become reinfected, retreatment may be an option before considering extraction. Our team has experience managing both straightforward and more complex retreatment cases.
