Our team of highly experienced root canal specialists is dedicated to providing the highest quality care, utilising state-of-the-art technology and techniques to save your natural teeth whenever possible.
Our endodontic specialists are not only skilled practitioners but also leaders in their field.

When you choose Ten Dental for your root canal treatment, you can trust that you are receiving care from some of the most qualified and respected endodontists in London.
One of the key factors that sets our endodontic treatment apart is our use of advanced microscopes. These powerful tools allow our specialists to visualise the intricate details of your tooth’s interior with unparalleled clarity and precision. By magnifying the treatment area, we can identify and address even the most complex issues, ensuring a higher success rate and better long-term outcomes.
Our endodontic expertise also extends to retreatment cases, where we can skillfully redo root canals that have been previously performed by other general dentists. If you have had a root canal that has failed or is causing you ongoing discomfort, our specialists can help. We have the knowledge, experience, and technology to diagnose and resolve the underlying issues, giving your tooth a second chance at healthy function.
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that aims to save a tooth that has been severely damaged due to decay, injury, or infection. The process involves removing the damaged or infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue) from the tooth’s interior chambers and canals.
The steps involved in a typical root canal treatment include:

Inside each tooth is a tube that runs from the end of the root to a chamber inside the crown. This is the root canal, and inside the canal is the tooth’s blood and nerve supply, known as the ‘pulp’. The incisor and canine teeth normally have one root and one root canal. Premolar teeth can have one or two roots, and molars two or three, with up to five separate root canals.
Bacteria can get into this chamber either from dental decay or directly from the mouth if a filling is lost. Once bacteria are established, blood supply to the nerve diminishes and the tooth begins to die. When this happens the only way to save the tooth is to remove the infection and dying nerve – a procedure called root canal therapy. Unfortunately, antibiotics alone can’t kill the bacteria and the only option, other than root canal therapy, is to have the tooth extracted. Sometimes root canal therapy is also used to save a tooth with a large filling or crown or one that has suffered trauma.
In root canal therapy, the pulp and nerve tissue are removed from inside the root canals. The canals are then thoroughly cleaned, then filled and sealed with a special rubber material.
An endodontist is a dentist who has undergone specialist training to perform root canal therapy to a higher standard. They work with special instruments usually under magnification to ensure even the most complicated cases are thoroughly and effectively treated. Your regular dentist can perform simple root canal procedures, but for more involved cases the best outcome will be achieved by an endodontist. Once your root canal therapy is successfully completed by your endodontist, you can then return to your regular dentist to have the tooth restored as planned. Inside all of our London based clinics, we have highly trained and specialist endodontists that can provide excellent root canal treatment in Balham and Clapham.
