Landmark Dental provides advanced root canal treatment in Hemel Hempstead for patients with persistent tooth pain, dental infections, damaged teeth and more complex endodontic problems.
Our treatment uses operating microscope magnification and digital 3D imaging to help identify the source of dental problems and plan treatment accurately. This is particularly valuable when treating complex root canal anatomy or teeth that have previously received treatment.
Where appropriate, root canal treatment can remove infection and help preserve your natural tooth rather than proceeding directly to extraction. Our team will assess your tooth and explain the available treatment options before recommending the most suitable approach.
Some root canal problems require a more detailed assessment and advanced endodontic treatment. Landmark Dental regularly treats complex and referred root canal cases, including teeth with persistent symptoms, previous root canal treatment or difficult internal anatomy.
Patients may be referred to our practice when a previous root canal has not resolved their symptoms, when a tooth has a complex canal system, or when further treatment is needed to help preserve the natural tooth.
Our endodontic approach combines microscope magnification and 3D imaging to help identify complex problems and guide treatment with greater precision. Where possible, our aim is to preserve the natural tooth and provide a predictable long-term solution.

Root canal treatment may be recommended when the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed, infected or damaged. This can happen because of deep decay, a crack, dental trauma or repeated treatment on the same tooth.
Common signs that you may need root canal treatment include:
Not every toothache requires root canal treatment. A dental examination is needed to identify the cause of your symptoms and determine whether endodontic treatment is appropriate.
If you have persistent tooth pain, swelling, or increasing discomfort, arrange an assessment with our dental team. Early diagnosis can help prevent an infection from becoming more serious and may allow the natural tooth to be preserved.
At Landmark Dental, your root canal treatment begins with a detailed consultation to understand your symptoms and assess the affected tooth.
You don’t need to know whether you need a root canal before booking. Our dentist will assess your symptoms and the affected tooth and explain whether root canal treatment or another option is appropriate.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we will explain the recommended treatment, expected outcomes, aftercare and costs. We will also discuss any suitable alternatives so you can make an informed decision about your dental care.
Before treatment begins, the tooth is fully anaesthetised to keep you comfortable. We use modern endodontic techniques and operating microscope magnification where appropriate, particularly for complex cases.
If you need a break during treatment, simply let your dentist know. We want you to feel comfortable and in control throughout your appointment.
Following treatment, we will explain how to care for the treated tooth and any further restoration that may be required. Our team will also advise you about follow-up care and help you maintain the treated tooth for the long term.
The length of treatment depends on the tooth and the complexity of the case. Many root canal treatments take around 60–75 minutes, although more complex cases may require additional appointments. The exact number of appointments depends on the tooth, the complexity of the case and whether additional treatment is required.

When a tooth is badly damaged or infected, patients often wonder whether root canal treatment or tooth extraction is the better option.
Where the tooth can be successfully treated and restored, root canal treatment may allow you to keep your natural tooth. During treatment, the infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth is removed, the root canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth can then be restored.
Extraction may be recommended when a tooth is too damaged, fractured or otherwise unsuitable for predictable root canal treatment.
At Landmark Dental, we assess each tooth individually and explain the available options before treatment. If root canal treatment is suitable, our aim is to treat the underlying problem while preserving the natural tooth wherever possible.
Are you experiencing persistent tooth pain, or have you been told you may need an extraction?
Book a root canal consultation at Landmark Dental to have the tooth assessed and discuss your treatment options.
If you’re considering root canal treatment or experiencing symptoms from an infected or damaged tooth, these common questions may help you understand the treatment, costs and what to expect.
Root canal treatment is designed to remove infection from inside the tooth, relieve discomfort, and help save the natural tooth from extraction.
Modern endodontic treatment is highly effective and, with advanced techniques and anaesthesia, is often far more comfortable than patients expect.
At Landmark Dental Care, we use advanced imaging and precision equipment to provide predictable and effective root canal treatment in Hemel Hempstead.
Sedation may be available for suitable patients who feel particularly anxious about root canal treatment. Your dentist will discuss your medical history, concerns and treatment needs before recommending an appropriate option.
A standard root canal typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Complex cases, such as molars with multiple roots or infections, may require more time or a second appointment.
Simple cases involving a single root can often be completed in one visit. If you’re looking for a root canal dentist near me who works efficiently and with precision, Landmark Dental can help.
Root canal treatment may be needed when the inner pulp of the tooth becomes inflamed or infected. Common symptoms include persistent toothache, pain when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the gums, or darkening of the tooth. In some cases, symptoms may be mild or intermittent, which is why a full assessment and X-rays are important for an accurate diagnosis.
Modern root canal treatment is designed to be as comfortable as possible. The tooth is fully numbed before treatment begins, and advanced techniques help minimise discomfort throughout the procedure. Many patients are surprised to find that root canal treatment feels similar to having a routine filling.
In many cases, root canal treatment can successfully save a tooth that would otherwise require extraction. By removing infection from inside the tooth and sealing the root canals, the tooth can often continue functioning normally for many years with appropriate restoration and ongoing care.
The cost of root canal treatment depends on the complexity of the tooth being treated. Following your consultation, we will provide a clear treatment plan outlining all recommended treatment and associated costs. Flexible finance options are also available to help spread the cost of treatment.
Yes. Sedation is available for nervous or anxious patients undergoing root canal treatment. Our team will discuss your concerns during your consultation and explain the available options to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable throughout your appointment.
Yes, in many cases failed root canal treatment can be retreated successfully. Persistent pain, recurring infection, or inflammation around a previously treated tooth may indicate the need for further endodontic assessment. Using advanced microscope-led techniques and digital imaging, complex re-root canal treatment can often help preserve the natural tooth.
Some routine root canal treatments can be performed by a general dentist, but more complex cases may benefit from treatment by a dentist with a special interest in endodontics. Complex anatomy, cracked teeth, persistent infection, or failed previous treatment often require advanced endodontic expertise and specialised equipment.
Yes, a cracked or damaged tooth can sometimes affect the inner pulp and lead to pain, sensitivity, or infection. Root canal treatment may be required to help save the tooth and prevent extraction depending on the severity of the crack.
Some tenderness or discomfort can occur after root canal treatment as the tissues around the tooth settle. If pain is severe, worsening, persists unexpectedly or is accompanied by swelling, contact your dentist for an assessment.
