Accurately, not reassuringly
Longer than the front-tooth version and usually split across two appointments so neither one is punishing. Same sensations: numb throughout, pressure rather than pain, and the ache in your jaw at the end is from holding it open. If you are someone who cannot lie flat or cannot keep still for that long, tell us at the assessment and we will plan it in shorter blocks. That is a scheduling problem, not a character flaw.
The stop signal
Raise your left hand and we stop — then, not at a convenient moment. If something feels sharp during treatment it almost always means the anaesthetic needs topping up, which takes two minutes and is completely ordinary. Saying so is not a nuisance and it is not being difficult.
Nervous about the dentist?
Turn this on and we will explain everything — what each treatment actually feels like, what the noises are, and how to make us stop. It stays on as you move around the site.

Root canal, front tooth
£380 – £480
The infected nerve is removed, the canal cleaned and sealed, and the access hole filled. It saves a tooth that would otherwise come out.
