Saving your tooth, with care and clarity
Root canal treatment is a common and effective procedure used to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed. It has a reputation for being uncomfortable, but modern treatment is carried out with care, precision and a strong focus on your comfort.
At Harley Private Dental, we take time to explain the process clearly, work gently and make sure you feel supported throughout. Our team includes a dentist with a special interest in endodontics, the area of dentistry that deals with the inside of the tooth.
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment treats infection or inflammation inside a tooth. This happens when the inner tissue of the tooth, called the pulp, becomes damaged through deep decay, trauma or repeated dental work.
During treatment, the infected tissue is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored to protect it from further damage. The aim is to relieve pain, remove infection and preserve your natural tooth.
Without treatment, infection can worsen and lead to tooth loss. If you have ongoing tooth pain, don't wait.

What your root canal appointment includes
A filling is more than patching a hole. Done well, it's a precise, layered restoration that blends into your tooth. Here's what to expect.
A careful assessment. Your dentist examines the tooth, discusses your symptoms and, where clinically required, uses an x-ray to see the full extent of any decay. This confirms whether a filling is the right treatment, or whether a different option would serve the tooth better.
Comfort first. Local anaesthetic is used where needed so the procedure is comfortable. Tell us at any point if you want to pause.
Gentle removal of decay. The tooth is cleaned and decay is carefully removed. We aim to take away only what's necessary, so your healthy tooth structure is kept wherever possible.
Placing the filling in layers. The composite material is applied in layers and bonded securely to the tooth. Because it bonds directly, it supports the tooth rather than simply filling the space.
Shaping and polishing. The filling is shaped to match your natural tooth and your bite, then polished for a smooth, natural finish.
Aftercare advice. You'll leave knowing how to look after your filling and when to return for review.

Frequently Asked Questions
Practical guidance to help you understand our care, treatments and what to expect.
How much do white fillings cost?
White tooth fillings at Harley Private start from £220. The final fee depends on the size and complexity of the filling, and we confirm it before treatment begins.
Are white fillings as strong as metal fillings?
Modern composite materials are strong and durable. For many situations, white fillings provide excellent long-term performance when placed and maintained properly.
Will my white filling be noticeable?
White fillings are colour-matched to your natural teeth and designed to blend in discreetly.
How long do white fillings last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, they can last many years. Longevity depends on factors such as bite forces and the size of the filling.
Will I feel pain during the procedure?
The procedure is usually comfortable and carried out with local anaesthetic where needed. Any mild sensitivity after treatment typically settles quickly.
How long does a white filling take?
White fillings are usually completed in a single appointment. Larger fillings take longer, and your dentist will give you an idea beforehand.
Can I eat after a filling?
Composite sets during your appointment, so you can usually eat once the anaesthetic has worn off. Avoid chewing until the numbness has gone, so you don't bite your cheek or tongue.
Can you replace my old metal fillings?
Fillings can be replaced if they're worn, damaged or failing, or for aesthetic reasons. Your dentist will assess each one, because removing a sound filling can cost you healthy tooth structure, so replacement isn't always the best option.
