Root canal treatment can save a tooth that has become severely infected or decayed. When diagnosis indicates the need for a root canal treatment, our first priority is our clients' peace of mind.
Offering an extensive menu of pain-management options, our priority is to ensure that our clients are at ease with the procedure. Our experts make root canal treatment as relaxing as possible.

Whether it’s a wisdom tooth or a tooth that had trauma, we will do everything we can to make this treatment as comfortable as possible.
Our dentists may determine that you need a tooth extraction for various reasons. Some teeth are extracted because they are severely decayed; others may have advanced periodontal disease or have broken in a way that cannot be repaired. Other teeth may need removal because they are poorly positioned in the mouth (such as impacted teeth), or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
The removal of a single tooth can lead to issues relating to your chewing ability, your jaw joint and shifting teeth, which may have a major impact on your dental health. To avoid these complications, our dentists will discuss alternatives to extractions as well as replacement options for the missing tooth.
An appointment with one of our hygienists could also help improve your teeth and avoid extractions in future.
Fillings are made to restore the function and aesthetic of the damaged tooth structure. This kind of structural loss typically results from tooth decay or external trauma. We use composite resin materials, which are “tooth-coloured” and are artistically built to match the exact shade and form of natural teeth.
A crown is required to restore lost or weakened tooth structure and reproduce its natural form, shade and function. Several types of materials are used to produce crowns, such as porcelain, eMax, resin and metals. In general, crowns reinforced by certain substructures like zirconia tend to have a long life expectancy, especially if correctly indicated and produced.
As well as conventional fillings, we can also provide you with an inlay or onlay. Inlays and onlays are a form of indirect restoration made by a dental technician in a dental laboratory.
If you have a larger filling, or perhaps a broken cusp on a tooth, we may want to consider a porcelain inlay or onlay. These restorations are a simple and effective treatment and, in some cases, are an excellent alternative to a complete porcelain crown.

Toothache can occur in the teeth and around the jaws and is caused by a number of different dental issues.
Usually, the pain begins suddenly and can range from mild discomfort to severe pain. It can come and go, but it can also be constant and made worse by eating or drinking.
How toothache is treated depends on the cause of the pain.
The dental pulp is most likely the cause of pain as it is made of delicate tissue containing blood vessels and sensitive nerves.
Some of the most common reasons for pains are infection, tooth decay, receding gums and cracked teeth.
Other reasons for toothache that don’t involve the dental pulp include:
At American Smile your mouth is examined, and an x-ray of your teeth may be taken to help identify the issue.
Small X-rays are included in the cost of your appointment.
Total cost of this appointment is £150 to £300, depending on cause of pain.
Please see the full breakdown of charges below.
If the toothache is a result of tooth decay, the decay will be removed and replaced with a white filling.
Depending on location of the filling there will be a charge of £100 to £150.
If the dental pulp is infected, a course of antibiotics or a root canal treatment may be necessary.
Prescription writing is included in the cost of your Emergency appointment at American Smile, however if we need to open and dress the root canal - there will be a charge of £150 added.
We often see patients with pain caused by wisdom teeth.
In this case we will relieve your pain on the day by flushing and cleaning around the area with ultrasonic instruments.
