Helping you choose the right path
We help you weigh up the benefits of saving your natural tooth against the implications of an extraction.
FACTOR
ROOT CANAL
EXTRACTION
Your Goal
Preserve your natural tooth and root.
Remove the tooth and infection entirely.
Gap Preservation
No gap; natural alignment is maintained.
Creates a gap; may need implant or bridge.
Patient Experience
Similar to a filling; zero pain when numbed.
Physical pressure during removal; socket heals.
Long-term Path
Strength often restored with a crown.
Requires secondary work to fill the space.
Your Comfort-First Journey
1
Gentle Numbing
We start by ensuring the area is completely numb using effective, modern local anaesthetics. Our experienced York team takes the time to make sure you feel nothing but a gentle touch before we begin.
2
Deep Clean
The infected tissue called the dental pulp is meticulously removed. Using magnification and advanced technology, we thoroughly disinfect the canals to eliminate pain and stop the infection from spreading.
3
Precise Sealing
The cleaned root canal is then shaped and sealed with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. This provides a long-lasting sterile seal that protects the tooth from future issues.
4
Preserving Strength
Finally, we restore your tooth with a crown or filling. This keeps your natural tooth structure strong and durable, allowing you to smile and eat with full confidence for years to come.

Your Smooth Recovery
Healing from a root canal is very similar to a standard filling. Here is how we ensure your comfort after your visit.
- Pain Management: Most discomfort is easily managed with standard over-the-counter relievers.
- Eating & Drinking: Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until your permanent restoration or crown is fitted to ensure the area stays protected.
- Long-term Care: With normal brushing and regular checkups at our York practice, your treated tooth can last a lifetime, just like your natural teeth.
We are always here to help. If you have any concerns during your healing, our team at Jorvik Dental is just a phone call away.
