Root Canal Treatment
Gentle, expert root canal treatment from your trusted North Dublin dental team
Expert Root Canal Treatment in Phibsborough, Dublin 7
At DentiCare, in the heart of Dublin 7, just seconds away from the bustling Phibsborough Street, DentiCare provides professional and affordable root canal treatments. Our mission is simple: to relieve your dental pain and save your natural teeth whenever possible.
Why Do You Need Root Canal Therapy?
If you are experiencing persistent toothache, extreme sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around the gums, you may require root canal therapy.
At our modern surgery near Phibsborough Street, we perform this procedure to remove infected or inflamed tissue (the pulp) from inside the tooth. This is a vital step in:
Stopping the spread of infection: Preventing abscesses and bone loss.
Saving the natural tooth: Avoiding the need for more expensive extractions and implants.
Eliminating Pain: Removing the damaged nerve that is causing discomfort.
The Procedure: What to Expect
As a leading dentist in North Dublin, we understand that many patients feel nervous about this treatment. Our gentle approach ensures you feel at ease throughout the entire process. In fact, most of our patients describe the sensation as being no more uncomfortable than receiving a standard composite filling.
Cleaning: The infected area is meticulously cleaned and disinfected.
Sealing: We seal the root canal to prevent future reinfection.
Restoration: We place a temporary or permanent filling. In many cases, a crown is later recommended to protect the treated tooth.
While some root canals can be completed in a single visit to our Phibsborough clinic, more complex cases may require two or more appointments to ensure the infection is completely cleared.

Frequently asked questions
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of a tooth (the root canal system). It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.
With advancements in dental technology and anaesthesia, root canal treatment at Denticare is generally as comfortable as getting a filling. Any discomfort typically stems from the infection itself rather than the treatment process. Our team ensures a pain-free experience throughout your procedure.
The cost of root canal treatment at Denticare starts from €540, with prices varying based on the complexity of the case and the tooth affected. We strive to provide the most affordable rates in Dublin without compromising on quality.
The duration of the root canal procedure can vary, but most treatments are completed within one to two visits. At Denticare, we focus on efficient and effective treatment, with a typical session lasting about 90 minutes.
In many cases, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment will require a crown to protect it from further damage and restore its function. Our dental team will advise you on the best course of action based on your individual needs.
Common signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums, and a persistent or recurring pimple on the gums. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult our dentists for a thorough examination.
Good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, can help prevent the decay and infection that lead to root canal treatments. Avoiding hard foods and wearing a mouthguard during sports can also protect your teeth from damage.
Root canal treatments at Denticare have a high success rate, with most treated teeth lasting as long as natural teeth. Our experienced dental professionals use the latest techniques and materials to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Booking your root canal treatment at Denticare is easy. You can call us at 087 415 4835, email info@denticare.ie, or fill out the contact form on our website to schedule your free consultation.
After your treatment, it’s important to avoid chewing on the affected side until your follow-up appointment. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including how to manage any temporary sensitivity and maintain oral hygiene.
