Experiencing severe tooth pain in Bankstown? At Memon Dental Care, our team provides gentle, effective root canal treatment to relieve pain and save your natural tooth. In addition, modern root canal treatment is far more comfortable than most patients expect, and in many cases it is no more uncomfortable than a standard filling.

We believe saving your natural tooth is always the best outcome. Therefore, our experienced Bankstown team uses advanced techniques and equipment to make your root canal treatment as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Our Root Canal Treatment Process in Bankstown

  • Every root canal treatment at our Bankstown clinic follows a careful, step-by-step process.
  • Thorough examination and digital X-ray to assess the extent of infection
  • Local anaesthetic to ensure you are completely comfortable throughout
  • Removal of infected pulp tissue from inside the tooth
  • Cleaning and shaping of the root canals
  • Sealing the canals to prevent reinfection
  • Placement of a crown or filling to restore full tooth function

Before treatment begins, we always conduct a full dental check-up to assess your overall oral health. Furthermore, we recommend our preventive dentistry services after treatment to protect your remaining teeth long term.

Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is root canal treatment painful?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable modern root canal treatment is. We use effective local anaesthetic throughout the procedure to keep you comfortable during treatment. Furthermore, any mild soreness after the procedure typically settles within a few days.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Common signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, darkening of the tooth, and swelling around the gum. However, only a clinical examination and X-ray can confirm whether root canal treatment is necessary. Therefore, book an appointment with our Bankstown team as soon as possible if you experience these symptoms.

How long does root canal treatment take?

Most root canal treatments at our Bankstown clinic take one to two appointments. However, complex cases or severely infected teeth may require additional visits. Therefore, our team will give you a clear treatment timeline from the start.

What happens if I do not get a root canal?

Without treatment, the infection can spread and the tooth may need to be extracted. Furthermore, untreated dental infections can spread to surrounding teeth and bone. Therefore, early treatment is always the better option.

Will I need a crown after root canal treatment?

In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth from fracture and restores full chewing function. However, in some cases a large filling may be sufficient. Therefore, our Bankstown team will advise you on the best restoration option for your tooth.

How long does a root canal-treated tooth last?

With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last many years, and often a lifetime. However, this depends on the quality of the final restoration and your ongoing oral hygiene. Therefore, regular check-ups at our Bankstown clinic are essential.

Is root canal treatment covered by health funds?

Some health funds provide partial cover for root canal treatment under extras cover. However, cover varies between providers and tooth type. We recommend checking with your fund before your appointment.

Can I drive home after root canal treatment?

In most cases, yes. Root canal treatment uses local anaesthetic only, so most patients can drive afterwards. However, we recommend taking it easy for the rest of the day.

What is the difference between root canal treatment and tooth extraction?

Root canal treatment saves your natural tooth, whereas extraction removes it entirely. However, saving your natural tooth is almost always the better long-term option. Therefore, we always explore root canal treatment before recommending extraction.

Do I need a referral for root canal treatment?

No referral is needed. Simply book directly with Memon Dental Care Bankstown and our team will assess your tooth and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
