Microscope-assisted root canal treatment to relieve pain and save an infected or damaged tooth, carried out under local anaesthesia.
Why it is done
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, relieving pain and allowing you to keep a tooth that might otherwise be lost.
Our approach
Our dentists use dental microscopes that magnify the tooth many times over, revealing fine detail inside the canals and supporting accurate treatment. The tooth and surrounding area are numbed with local anaesthesia for comfort.
Afterwards
A tooth that has had root canal treatment is often restored with a crown to protect it. Your dentist will explain the plan for your tooth.
Frequently asked questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia, so the procedure is usually comfortable — and it relieves the pain caused by the infection.
Why use a microscope?
Magnification lets the dentist see the fine anatomy inside the tooth, which supports thorough, accurate treatment.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
Often yes. A root-treated tooth can become brittle, and a crown helps protect it. Your dentist will advise for your tooth.
Care for this treatment is available across our five Hong Kong clinics.
