Full price list

Root canal treatment can help keep a tooth that might otherwise need removal. It treats inflamed or infected pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth. At Medical-Dent in West Bromwich, we provide first-time treatment for incisors, canines, premolars and molars, as well as retreatment for teeth that have already had root canal treatment.

The first step is an assessment of the whole tooth. Your dentist considers the symptoms, any necessary X-rays and whether the tooth can be restored afterwards. Pain alone does not tell us whether root canal treatment is needed, and some affected teeth have few symptoms. The findings help us explain your options and agree a treatment plan.

Who carries out root canal treatment

All our dentists provide first-time root canal treatment without a microscope. Treatment with a microscope, and all root canal retreatment with or without a microscope, are carried out only by Dr Anna Bradley and Dr Angeliki Dalakoura.

Dr Anna Bradley holds a Master of Endodontics from King’s College London. Her work includes first-time root canal treatment and retreatment. Dr Angeliki Dalakoura holds a master’s degree from Queen Mary University of London and provides microscope-assisted root canal treatment and restorative dentistry. Your dentist will explain the proposed approach after examining your tooth, including whether this is first-time treatment or retreatment.

Treatment with and without a microscope

We offer root canal treatment with and without a microscope. A microscope provides magnification and lighting to help the dentist see small details inside the tooth. It can help locate canal openings and may be useful where the anatomy is difficult to see or during repeat treatment. It cannot make every tooth suitable for treatment or ensure that treatment will succeed.

The main stages are to remove the affected pulp, clean and shape the canals, then fill and seal them. Local anaesthetic is normally used. Treatment may need more than one appointment, with a temporary filling between visits. Discuss the proposed use of a microscope and its additional fee before treatment; the table above shows both options.

What the fees include

The fees in the table above include treatment, treatment X-rays and a core build-up; microscope-assisted totals also include the microscope. The consultation is charged separately, and crowns and onlays, if needed, are priced separately. Our root canal cost guide explains the fees and what to discuss in your written estimate.

After the root canal: restoring the tooth

Filling the canals is one part of treatment. The upper part of the tooth also needs a suitable restoration to seal and protect it. The included core build-up replaces missing tooth structure, but a crown or onlay may still be needed. The choice depends on how much sound tooth remains, the position of the tooth and your bite.

A direct composite filling may be suitable for some teeth; others need an onlay or crown. Agree the timing with your dentist and follow their advice about protecting the tooth between appointments. Contact the practice if a temporary filling comes out, your bite feels uneven or pain persists or worsens. Our guides explain restoring a tooth after root canal treatment and choosing between fillings, onlays and crowns.

Frequently asked questions

Who will carry out my root canal treatment?

All our dentists provide first-time treatment without a microscope. Dr Anna Bradley and Dr Angeliki Dalakoura carry out all treatment with a microscope and all retreatment, including retreatment without a microscope. The approach depends on the assessment of your tooth.

Can I come from Birmingham for treatment?

Yes. If you are seeking private treatment from Birmingham or elsewhere in the West Midlands, you can arrange an assessment at our West Bromwich practice. We are at 353 High Street, B70 9QG, and open daily from 10:00 to 21:00. Use the appointment form or phone to request a consultation.

Does root canal treatment hurt?

Local anaesthetic is normally used. Tell your dentist if you feel pain during treatment so they can respond. Some tenderness afterwards can occur, but severe, worsening or returning pain needs a dental review. Let the team know beforehand if you are worried, so you can discuss breaks and a signal to pause.

How many visits will I need?

Treatment may take more than one appointment, with a temporary filling between visits. The number depends on the treatment needed. The final restoration and follow-up also form part of your care, so ask your dentist to explain the expected stages for your tooth.

Will root canal treatment save my tooth?

Root canal treatment can often help keep a tooth, but the outcome depends on its condition and whether it can be restored. Infection may persist or return, and further treatment or removal may be needed. Your dentist will explain the outlook, alternatives and follow-up for your case.
