Wandsworth is one of several locations across London and Hertfordshire where I keep expert endodontic care close to home for patients in the south of the city.  Every tooth is treated with a dental operating microscope, with 3D CBCT imaging where the scan is clinically justified, so difficult and previously treated cases can be managed with confidence - whether your own dentist has referred you or you’ve come directly.

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 Bellevue 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 south 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.

Finding Bellevue Dental, Wandsworth Common

Bellevue Dental is at 7 Jaggard Way, London SW12 8SG - a short step from Wandsworth Common, with parking nearby and Wandsworth Common station a short walk away.

Working alongside the restorative team

At Bellevue Dental Clinic I work closely with Dr Adam White and the restorative team, so the endodontic and restorative sides of a case are planned together rather than as separate appointments.  For a cracked or heavily broken-down tooth that means the root canal treatment and the rebuild are handled as one piece of treatment, and the practice has the technology to design and fit a crown in a single day.
