When the decay and bacteria from the outside of the tooth reaches the pulp centre of the tooth, this can infect the nerve and blood supply of the tooth causing a toothache. Root canal treatment is generally like a deeper filling all the way to the ends of the roots of the teeth through several stages at the dentist.

Why should I save teeth?
- To be able to keep the other teeth upright instead of them shifting into the empty gap if the tooth is removed
- To give the remaining healthy teeth support with chewing
- It may be the front tooth and it is in the smile zone, so aesthetically it would be ideal to save it
- Have the ability to chew so that the opposing tooth doesn’t become a redundant tooth without its opposite chewer.

STAGES OF TREATMENT
How many stages does a root canal treatment take?
Every root canal treatment is different, but here is an overview of the steps in the treatment.
Stage 1
Removing the debris from the pulp chamber and placing antibiotics
Stage 2
Cleaning the walls of the canals out and shape them so it can later be sealed
Stage 3
Sealing the prepared canals to reduce any bacteria returning into the pulp
Stage 4
A crown is needed to encase the tooth and make it stronger
* It is very important that root canal therapy goes through every stage to be able to save the tooth so it can function without any temperature sensitivity.
Have a dental emergency?
If your tooth is decayed or damaged a root canal treatment will fix your infected or damaged nerves.

I never thought I could be so okay with going to the Dentist!

Nicky DR2026-05-07Amazing experience - very difficult procedure and a very nervous customer and Dr Alex was fantastic… patient and kind and did such a brilliant job paying attention to every detail. Cannot recommend highly enoughsara skender2026-05-05Dr Alex is such a good, calm, and reassuring dentist. As an anxious patient, I really appreciated how he took his time explaining my treatment plan and made sure all my questions were answered. His bedside manner is amazing — he checked in on me throughout the appointment, gave me breaks, and made sure I was always okay. The whole team is really lovely as well. I would highly recommend him!Georgia Barnes2026-05-02Dr Becky is amazing! She is very gentle and very efficient, my teeth have never felt so clean! Would 10/10 recommend visiting her for all your dental needs.Jared Russell2026-03-24I’ve been coming here for over 4 years now and couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. Dr Astin Friskin has been absolutely incredible...professional, gentle, and genuinely caring. She always made me feel comfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made a huge difference. I now see Dr Nicole Yuen, and she has continued that same amazing level of care. She’s also incredibly open to feedback and genuinely wants to get everything right, even going out of her way to fix the smallest admin mishap. That level of care and accountability really stands out. Both dentists truly go above and beyond for their patients. What really stands out is how well they get to know you as a person. Even though you might only visit twice a year, they remember the small details about your life, which makes every appointment feel personal and welcoming. The reception team also deserves a special mention. They go out of their way to make every visit feel 5 star. It’s such a nice touch being welcomed by name by each receptionist, even those who weren’t at the desk when you first arrived. Their communication is fantastic, their care is genuine, and the whole experience is always positive. I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough!Joseph Rivera2026-03-13Had my first appointment at this clinic today. The end-to-end care was spot on - clear explanations, solid action plan and really great communication. Just got a root canal done and Dr Nicole Y and she completely eased my nerves and concerns. Pain management was exceptional - she checked in the whole way through and made sure I was comfortable at every step. Top-tier patient care from start to finish - even adjusting the air temp to suit my needs. Highly recommend.Denise Goulding2026-03-07Had a great experience today. Dr Suzy was attentive and did a great job cleaning my teeth and gave me good advice. Sarah did a good job assisting and Tatiana on the reception was kind and considerate. Yeronga Park Dental great place to get your oral health taken care of.Anna Huynh2026-02-06Dr Yuen is a lifesaver. I had been getting migraines and to think it came from my tooth. She provided emergency treatment and scheduled me back to ensure that it did not happen again. She and her team provide holistic care for myself and my family. My toddler was booked in and they were amazing! He was not scared at all and had so much fun in the dentist chair! Thank you Yeronga Park!Joseph Jou2026-02-05Dr Suzy is awesome.
