Root canal treatment in Potters Bar
I provide referral-based endodontic treatment at Greenleaves Dental in Potters Bar - microscope-guided root canal treatment, re-treatment, dental trauma management and CBCT reporting, serving patients across Hertfordshire and north London.
Potters Bar is one of several locations I work from across London and Hertfordshire, extending expert endodontic care beyond the city for patients who’d rather not travel in. Every case is treated with a dental operating microscope, with 3D CBCT imaging where the scan is clinically justified, so difficult and re-treatment cases are in safe hands close to home.

What to expect at your appointment
Most root canal treatments here are completed in a single visit, though some more complex cases are staged over two. After a thorough assessment - including a 3D CBCT scan where the extra detail helps - I’ll explain what’s happening with the tooth and talk you through the plan before we begin. Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, and IV sedation can be arranged for anxious patients - allowing them to remain calm and comfortable throughout the procedure.
Microscope-guided, CBCT-planned care
Every case at Greenleaves is treated using a dental operating microscope and, where needed, 3D CBCT imaging. The dental operating microscope lets me see inside the tooth in fine detail - locating hidden canals, removing infection precisely, and preserving as much healthy tooth as possible. CBCT gives a three-dimensional view that plain X-rays can’t, which is especially valuable in re-treatment and calcified or hard-to-find canals.
Referrals and patients
I treat patients referred by dentists across Hertfordshire and north London, as well as those who find me directly. Referrals are quick over WhatsApp, with a response within one working day and a full written report back to the referring dentist after treatment.
Does root canal treatment hurt?
Carried out under local anaesthetic, root canal treatment feels much like having a filling for most people - and relieves the toothache you came in with.
Root canal or extraction?
Saving your natural tooth is almost always preferable where possible, keeping your bite and appearance intact. I’ll give you an honest view of the options for your particular tooth.
