Root Canal Therapy

The idea of root canal treatment in Sunbury can cause some patients anxiety, but we want to allay these worries and make your experience as stress-free and pain-free as possible.

Root canal is about ‘saving’ a tooth that may have been damaged or infected through deep decay, breakage or injury to the mouth. The treatment is designed to alleviate any pain you’re currently experiencing and save your tooth, so that the end result will be a welcome relief.

Dr. Shamir Chandarana has completed post-graduate education in Endodontics (Root Canal Treatments) at King’s College London and is passionate about using his skills to help patients keep their teeth for as long as possible.

Is root canal treatment in Sunbury painful?

It may be comforting to know that root canal treatment at Dental House is relatively comfortable and usually completely painless, as we carry out treatment under local anaesthetic. We are experts at administering anaesthetic in the most effective way, numbing any affected teeth for instant relief and a more relaxing treatment.

How is root canal treatment carried out?

During the procedure, we gently make a small opening in the crown of the tooth and remove any infected or inflamed pulp. We then clean and shape the root canals using small, specially designed tools, flush them of any debris using an antibacterial solution, before sealing them with an inert material called gutta-percha. Finally, and by no means least, we restore your tooth to its full shape and function using either a permanent filling or a crown.

Root canal treatment may be completed in a single or multiple visits depending on the complexity of the tooth.

How do I care for the root-treated tooth?

We recommend avoiding chewing or biting on the treated tooth until you have it restored with either a permanent filling or crown. Excessive pressure may crack or fracture the tooth, therefore it is important to restore the tooth back to its natural function as soon as possible.

Root-filled teeth are as prone to decay as natural teeth, which is why we strongly urge you to continue to practise good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing, as well as maintain regular visits with your dentist.

At 03:00am This morning I went to A&E with the worst pain of my life. Where the NHS couldn't do anything for me besides pain relief which done nothing for the pain. At 08:30am I got in contact with the most friendly, sympathetic team and by moving a couple of appointments around was able to fit me at 10:10 this morning. When I arrived voices on the phone matches the faces, even though I was still in pain I felt at ease. Long story short was able to have the tooth removed there and then. Thank you to all the team at dental house
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great feedback Michael, glad we could help!
What an excellent service today, i phoned at 8.40 today (after soending 3 hours in A&E with my 34 year old son who was in absolute pain even pai killers not touching the pain, just told to go home and find a dentist) got an appointment for 10.10 all sorted by 10.45. Very caring, very sympathetic dentist. Reception staff were very professional and welcoming, would full recommend them to anyone.

Absolutely spot on place amazing staff, dentist..
Professional, friendly, warm, kind, calm, supportive, understanding, informative, outstanding service If you HATE going to the dentist as much as I do (thanks to sensory sensitivity, pain sensitivity, and past trauma as a child from knocking my front teeth out), then this dentist practice is definitely for you! What I needed to have done: I had to have an emergency crown replacement due to my old one finally cracking! My current dentist couldn't get it sorted out due to having a 2-3 week turnaround time for getting a new crown made, but I needed it to be done in less than 2 weeks as I am traveling abroad and needed to get it done before doing the trip. A friend told me about Dental House and recommended them to me, as she knew they were brilliant with crown creation and fitting. Overall experience & how I was treated: Wendy was so warm, welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable, and kind, yet also fast, efficient, and proactive at finding the next available gap to fit me in with one of their brilliant dentists the next day. I walked in and felt at ease despite usually feeling dread. The atmosphere is calm and caring, and the facilities are modern, comfortable, and fitted with top class dentistry equipment. I had mentioned that I have sensory sensitivity and that visiting a dentist can be a bit overwhelming and anxiety inducing, but all the staff were so welcoming, kind, and supportive, which made the experience so much more calm, and way less stressful. At every step of the process I felt like my needs and concerns were considered and taken seriously, and I always felt well informed about what to expect and how long each section of the process was likely to take so that there were no sudden surprises - which is really helpful for minimising anxiety. The problem solved brilliantly: The cracked crown was removed, and a temporary crown was created and fitted at the same time. Chris, one of the onsite dental technicians popped in to do some colour grading during my appointment, and was absolutely phenomenal at getting things turned around fast (in 1 week!), and ensuring that my colour match was as perfect as he could get it. Front teeth crowns are particularly difficult to colour match if both are not being replaced at the same time, but he took the time, effort, and care to make sure it was the best fit and colour. The quality of the workmanship, and the efficient turnaround time to get it created and finalised before I need to travel was massively appreciated. The attention to detail, and the convenience and value of having an on site technician cannot be overstated. You simply don’t get that kind of treatment with most other dentist practices - certainly not this level of perfection or speed! Next steps: After my amazing experience, and seeing the various awards Dentist House have won or made it into the finals for, I made the decision to move from my current dentist across to Dental House even though Dental House is about 25 minutes from where I live - I would rather travel and get the quality of service and care, than get a local dentist that simply can’t compete. I’m a very happy customer 🙂 My crown looks amazing! The experience was great (as good as it can possibly be for what will never be a pleasant experience for someone like me with sensory sensitivity!). And the thing I’m super chuffed about, is that I didn’t have to live with a loose crown for over a month, with the risk of my tooth cracking off completely while abroad. I can relax and enjoy my mom’s 85th birthday with all my siblings together for the first time in 27 years, and know that I don’t have to be careful about what I eat to avoid cracking the old crown further, and even better, I will enjoy smiling confidently for all the family photos 🙂 So the team at Dental House lived up to their tagline: “Creating beautiful smiles for life”. Thank-you to all of you for making my experience such a positive one.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the amazing review of Dental House and the feedback, we super pleased we managed you get you tooth sorted before your family reunion!
Always professional! Good service! It’s hard to find real customer service these days. This practice excels at it! Wendy is the best!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the lovely review!
This dental practice is fantastic for new patients. All the staff are lovely and friendly and helped to ease my initial nerves with kindness and excellent advice. They also have a TV to watch during sessions which is really fun and helps to keep you distracted.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the lovely review!
Where do I even begin! Dr Shamir and the entire team are truly outstanding. From the moment I walked in, I was met with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. I had teeth realignment using Spark (Invisalign), followed by whitening and composite bonding, and the results have genuinely exceeded all my expectations. What really stood out was how honest and considered the approach was - Dr Shamir only recommended and carried out work where it was truly necessary. That not only saved me a significant amount of money, but still delivered exceptional, high-quality results. The entire journey was smooth and well-managed, from my initial consultation right through to the final result. Every step was clearly explained, and I always felt comfortable and confident in the process. I’m almost sad it’s come to an end! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them - if you’re considering treatment, go ahead and book your appointment. You’ll be in great hands, and the results speak for themselves, all at very reasonable prices.
Response from the owner:Wow, what a lovely review. Thank you so much Aaron and we're happy we exceeded your expectations and we got you your dream smile! See you soon.
Always have a really great experience coming here, the dentists are all extremely professional and good at what they do, and the entire staff is really friendly!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the lovely review Priyansh!
This is a wonderful dental practice. I’ve been coming here for a long time, and nothing is ever too much trouble. The treatments are excellent, and the dentist and hygienist are always so understanding and gentle
Response from the owner:Thank you Craig for the lovely feedback!
I recently visited Dr Hassan Abbas at Dental House and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. I had Invisalign elsewhere and was unhappy with the shape and overall appearance of the composite bonding on my upper central incisors and lateral incisors. The results look so natural and have completely boosted my confidence. He was professional, meticulate, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole process. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes pride in his dental work. Highly recommend Dr Hassan Abbas at Dental House if you’re considering any cosmetic dental work.
