Our clinic, based a mile from Blackfriars, offers the best in root canal therapy and treatments for tooth decay, infections and pulpitis, with tooth extraction always being the last resort.

Let’s save your teeth from failing and ensure they do the job they were designed to do!

Reasons you might need root canal treatment

Root canals are often necessary for patients to cure damage deep inside the tooth. When a tooth has formed a large cavity, it can sometimes reach the pulp chamber of the tooth, which is made up of fine tissue fibres, nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach the pulp chamber, the tooth’s internal structure becomes damaged and can lead to painful consequences like abscesses.

NO NEED TO WORRY

We have found that many of our London patients are worried or nervous about root canal treatment, but you should feel no pain or discomfort at all during the procedure, and it’s over relatively quickly. Here at Mint Dental, our ethos is to educate patients about the procedure beforehand, explaining why it might be necessary, the purpose of any expert intervention, and any additional procedures required.

FAST PROCEDURE

Root canal treatment removes bacteria from inside the tooth and disinfects the root canals – and while this might sound invasive, we only make a small hole through the damaged tooth to reach the pulp chamber.

Following this, we locate and measure the root canal using tiny instruments to clean the infected area. Post-procedure discomfort is normal but manageable and short-lived. Your dentist will provide you with all the necessary aftercare tips.

Root canals traditionally do not take much time to complete (one to two hours). However, with this being said, each patient is different, and the length of the procedure will differ according to the complexity of your case. Sometimes, re-rooting or re-treatment might be necessary, which can take longer than an initial appointment.

The benefits of continuing with root canal therapy

• Quality of life is restored, allowing you to eat and chew without restrictions
• Works to preserve and save the natural structure of your tooth
• Avoids the alternative of tooth extraction and gaps in the mouth
• Once successfully completed lasts a lifetime (treatment success 95%)
• Keeps your smile entirely natural with no need for false prosthetics
• Effective and almost instant pain relief

4 years a customer and always professional yet friendly service. Corrected my major issues (fillings/caps) and while they're keen to ensure ongoing 'perfect teeth' they don't hard sell peripheral / optional treatments. Highly recommended

I was looking for somewhere with a personal touch, that I could trust and that’s what I got at Mint. They always remember my name and are so polite. After a year of zoom meetings I really wanted my teeth to be straight and the results completely surpassed my expectations. I now feel comfortable taking photos! The team explained everything clearly (I felt I could ask anything multiple times) appointments were always organised and it was a really easy, worthwhile process. My teeth look like my teeth but are now at their best.

The clinic is a really lovely place to visit - it is extremely clean and all of the staff are very friendly. They were kind and reassuring all the way through my Invisalign treatment - as well as having amazing technology at their disposal. Dr Imran is so accommodating and kept everything simple, addressing any concerns straight away. All in all I would definitely recommend Mint Dental Clinic, a lovely experience all round.

Best dentist I’ve ever had! Have completed a year of Invisalign with Dr Patel and he has been so reassuring and kind throughout. From the reception staff to hygenists they really go above and beyond to make you feel looked after and special. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Over the past six years Dr Raj and Preanka and all of the team at Mint have been exceptional. Every member of the team is exemplary at their expertise and I've never felt in better hands at the dentist. Affordable and top of the range, I would recommend them to anyone.

“My entire family is treated here, and we’ve had great experiences with the hygienist and Dr Raj Patel. Dr Patel has been lovely with our two young children and treated me for a root canal repair and crown fitting. He was thorough, explained all of the options and the pros and cons, and his work was great. We will miss them when we move out of London shortly!
