Root Canal Treatment Darlinghurst – Gentle Relief of Pain and Infection
At Holdsworth House Dental in Darlinghurst, we provide gentle, effective root canal treatment to save teeth affected by infection or decay. Our dentists take a conservative, carefully considered approach when diagnosing whether a root canal is truly needed, assessing how much healthy tooth structure remains and how long the restored tooth is likely to last. By removing bacteria from inside the tooth and preserving as much natural structure as possible, we help prevent further damage while focusing on long-term outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Root canal treatment is a restorative procedure used to save a tooth that has become deeply infected or inflamed inside the nerve space. During treatment, the infected tissue is removed under local anaesthetic, the inside of the tooth is thoroughly disinfected and the canals are then sealed to prevent bacteria from returning. By preserving your natural tooth rather than removing it, we help maintain the natural balance of your bite. When paired with a carefully designed restoration such as a crown, the treated tooth can remain strong and functional for many years.
In most cases, we first treat any underlying infection, which greatly increases the likelihood of a smooth, pain-free root canal. Once the infection is under control, modern techniques and effective local anaesthetics make the procedure itself comfortable, predictable and calm.
Longevity depends on factors like the amount of healthy teeth left, how well the tooth is sealed and restored, your bite and your overall oral hygiene. A well-done root canal treatment can last 10 years or longer, especially when the tooth has enough remaining structure and is restored properly afterward (usually with a crown).
