The Benefits Of A Root Canal Treatment
Why Prevention Is Better Than Cure
By removing an infected tooth or damaged tissue from the inner pulp of your tooth, root canals can help to eliminate bacteria, relieve pain and inflammation, and prevent further damage to your teeth and gums.
And because a root canal procedure (endodontic treatment) is designed to save your natural teeth, you can avoid the need for tooth extraction, dentures or dental implants in the future.
- Pain free tooth post-procedure
- Normal biting and chewing is restored
- Retain your natural teeth structure
- Retain your natural smile
- No implants needed

What Our Customers Say
Do You Need Root Canal Therapy?
Signs & Symptoms Of An Infection
Untreated dental trauma and decay runs the risk of getting an infection or developing an abscess. This can lead to the death of the inner pulp or “nerve” of the infected tooth as well as bone loss and severe pain.
At Doonan Dental, we understand that the symptoms of a root canal infection can be alarming. That’s why we want to help you stay informed about what to look out for. Some common signs of a root canal infection include:
- Swollen or tender gums
- Decaying or darkening gums
- Cracked or missing filling that has been left untreated
- Severe pain while chewing or biting
- A chipped or cracked tooth
- Lingering temperature sensitivity
We provide gentle, personalised root canal therapy treatments in Sunshine Coast that can help relieve your pain and prevent further damage. Plus, our holistic approach means that we’ll work with you to develop a treatment plan that takes into account your unique needs and concerns!
Stress Free Root Canal Treatments
What To Expect During A Root Canal
We understand that an endodontic treatment can be a daunting prospect for many patients. At Doonan Dental, we are committed to providing a stress-free and comfortable root canal therapy experience.
Our team of dental professionals will guide you through the entire process, answering any questions you may have and ensuring that you are fully informed and at ease prior to treatment.
During your appointment, we will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth to identify the areas of infection. We will then use a local anaesthetic to numb the affected area, ensuring that you are completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
We will then make a small access hole in the tooth to reach the infected pulp. The damaged tissue will be carefully removed, and the area will be cleaned, filled, and sealed to prevent further infection. In some cases, a dental crown may be placed on the tooth to increase strength in the restored teeth.
We pride ourselves on our holistic approach to dental care and take steps to ensure your natural teeth are healthy and strong. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of care and expertise, ensuring that you can return to smiling, biting, and chewing with ease in no time.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have answered some of the most frequently asked questions about our root canal treatment below. Have we missed something? Get in touch and our friendly staff are happy to assist.
How many appointments do I need for a root canal?
Depending on the severity of the infection, your current oral health status, and other influencing factors, you may require several appointments.
Will I lose my tooth?
This depends on the severity of your infection. If your tooth is badly decayed, your dentist will remove the decayed sections and cover the remaining tooth with a filling or dental crown.
Do I need a root canal if the tooth does not hurt?
If a decayed tooth is left untreated, your run the risk of infection that spreads across to other teeth.
If you wait to book a root canal when you have a significant amount of pain, your dentist may have to perform this treatment on more than one tooth.
Is it cheaper to have a tooth removed?
Extractions should be used as a last resort when nothing can be done to save the tooth.
In addition to paying for an extraction, you will have to pay for an implant to replace the missing tooth, which is more expensive than the root canal itself.
