If you are experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling near a tooth, it could be a sign of infection deep inside the tooth. At Seaford Dental, our gentle, modern root canal treatment (also called endodontic therapy) can relieve your discomfort, eliminate infection, and most importantly save your natural tooth.
Serving families across Seaford, Seaford Rise, Seaford Heights, and Maslin Beach, we make root canal care calm, comfortable, and clear because you deserve to keep your smile intact.
A root canal is a routine dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). Left untreated, this infection can spread, cause severe pain, or lead to tooth loss and even impact your overall health, with links to conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
During treatment, we:
Gently numb the area
Clean out the infected pulp from the tooth’s root canals
Disinfect and seal the space to prevent reinfection
Restore the tooth usually with a crown for long-term strength
Contrary to old myths, modern root canals are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling and they stop the real pain: the infection itself.
Keeping your natural tooth helps you:
Chew normally and speak clearly
Maintain jawbone health and facial structure
Avoid more complex (and costly) replacements like implants or bridges
Protect your overall health by eliminating hidden dental infections
At Seaford Dental, we believe prevention is best but when infection strikes, timely action is key.
Costs vary based on the tooth’s location (front teeth are simpler than molars) and the extent of infection. As a preferred provider for HCF and other major health funds, we help maximise your rebate.
Costs in Seaford start from:
$1500 for a front tooth
$2500 for a molar (which has more root canals)
A final quote including any needed crown is always provided before treatment begins, with no hidden fees and no pressure. Sometimes you may need to see a specialist.
We know the idea of a root canal can feel daunting. That is why we offer:
Gentle anaesthesia and calm explanations at every step
Oral Sedation options for anxious patients
Same-day emergency appointments for severe pain
Local treatment no need to travel to the city
Even if your tooth is not hurting, hidden infections can silently damage your health. If you have been told you might need a root canal or if you are experiencing sensitivity, swelling, or a lingering toothache call Seaford Dental today.
We are your trusted local team for gentle, root canal care across the southern suburbs.
