Root Canal Therapy
Save your natural tooth and relieve pain with root canal therapy at Robina Quays Dental Care. Our gentle and precise endodontics treatment ensures a comfortable experience with lasting results.
Do You Need a Root Canal?
You might need root canal therapy if you’re experiencing:
- Ongoing pain or pressure in one tooth, or persistent sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen or tender gums near a tooth
- Tooth discoloration and/or pain when chewing or touching the tooth
- A chipped or cracked tooth that’s painful or a pimple-like bump on the gums
These symptoms may indicate a tooth infection. The earlier it’s treated, the more likely we can save your tooth and prevent more serious complications.

Our Approach
We prioritise comfort, clarity, and care at every step:
Comprehensive Consultation
We assess your tooth with digital imaging and discuss the best approach to relieve pain and restore function.
Gentle Treatment Process
The infected tissue is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed to prevent further issues.
Tooth Restoration
A filling or crown is placed to strengthen and protect your tooth, ensuring long-term function and aesthetics.
Ongoing Care & Check-Ups
Regular dental visits help maintain your treated tooth and overall oral health.
One Visit or More?
Some root canal procedures can be completed in one visit. More complex cases, including those with severe infection or unusual root shapes, may require two or more appointments. We’ll assess your case and guide you through the process with clarity and care.
After Your Root Canal
Recovery is usually quick and manageable. You may feel mild sensitivity for a few days, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain relief. Until the final crown or filling is placed, avoid chewing on the treated side. We’ll give you clear care instructions to ensure your healing goes smoothly.
