General And Specialist Dentistry.

Root canal treatment (also referred to as endodontics), is the treatment of severely broken down, inflamed or infected teeth. It is generally the last treatment option available in order to save a tooth and usually the required treatment to get our patients out of dental pain. Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatments are often the most relaxing procedure we provide at Newton Abbot Dental, commonly with our patients finding themselves nodding off in the chair!

Have you been told that a tooth cannot be saved?

What does treatment involve?

Root canal treatment removes all of the infection from the tooth, before sealing the tooth to protect the damaged nerve and restore you back to good oral health. Endodontic treatment is always carried out by a specialist clinician and an anesthetic is used to keep you comfortable through the process.

When you first come into your local Ashburton practice, we will take an x-ray to assess the status of the infection. Then local anaesthesia is administered to the area and a piece of rubber material called a ‘rubber dam’ is placed around the tooth the keep it dry and accessible throughout the procedure. Once you are fully anaesthetised, your dentist will use specially designed tools to remove the infected tissue. Once it is clear, a rubber compound is used to fill the tooth where the root canal tissue previously was. This is usually finished with a temporary filling. This is the completed stage of your first visit to Moor Dental Care. Following this, we create a custom-made crown to fit your tooth and this is fitted at your second visit.

This was my first visit with Newton Abbot Dental, but I was made very welcome by the staff from the moment of arrival, who also accommodated my specific needs. The consultation, with Dr. Gurjit Pattar and Becky, began with a discussion of my dental self care routine and treatment history, together with identifying patterns which might impact on the effectiveness of this routine. We talked about the concerns which had precipitated my visit, before moving on to a detailed dental examination, followed by photography and X-rays of my teeth, all included in the price. Dr. Pattar quickly pinpointed the cause of the issue I was experiencing, and then comprehensively walked me through the treatment options available, also helpfully answering questions that I had about this range of choices. At the conclusion of our time together (spanning a period of about 45 minutes), I felt well informed about the condition of my dental health, and about the pathways forward for dealing with the issue that had brought me through the doors of the practice.

I visited the Dental Practice today and was met with an immediate warmth from the Dental staff at reception who will kind and chatty, once my appointment time had come around I was greet by nurse Becky and led to the Drs office where Dr Gurjit Pattar was really professional and put me at ease for the services I needed. I am now on a plan with the Practice to ensure my needs are met regularly and with the most cost effective option available. I will certainly be recommending the practice to family and friends because of how they made me feel. If there was a 6 star review I'd being giving that. Thank you Max

I can’t rate this dental practice highly enough! I phoned for an emergency appointment to have a badly broken, infected tooth removed. Appointment was made for within 24 hours. Even though I hadn’t been there before, I was made to feel welcome, reassured & at ease. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much
