About the treatment
Expert Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment may preserve a restorable tooth when the pulp inside is inflamed or infected. Dr Ankit Patel provides endodontic care at Danbury Dental Care and will assess the tooth before explaining its prognosis and the alternatives.
Treatment removes damaged pulp, cleans and seals the root canals, then allows the tooth to be restored. Success cannot be guaranteed and some teeth may still need further treatment or extraction. IV sedation can be discussed for eligible nervous patients after a separate suitability assessment.

Root Canal Treatment with Dr Ankit Patel, Endodontist
Dr Ankit Patel focuses on endodontics - the area of dentistry dedicated to diagnosing tooth pain and saving infected teeth with root canal treatment. After qualifying from Queen Mary University of London in 2015, he returned to complete a Master's in Endodontic Practice and has developed a calm, reassuring style that suits both straightforward and more demanding cases.
If you have been told you may need an endodontist, or if you have delayed treatment because of anxiety, we can coordinate your care in-house. Dr Patel works alongside Dr Kaly Gengeswaran for root canal under sedation, giving nervous patients access to both specialist endodontic treatment and IV sedation in one practice.

Root Canal Treatment FAQs
Questions about root canal treatment
Your consultation is the right place to discuss suitability, alternatives and what your own care may involve.
Root canal treatment should not be painful. We numb the tooth fully with local anaesthetic before we start, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. If you are especially anxious, root canal under sedation is also available.
