Discover how root canal therapy protects your smile
Prevent future complications
By removing infection and sealing the tooth, root canal treatment helps prevent abscesses and further oral health issues.
Save your natural tooth
Root canals allow us to clean and repair infected teeth instead of removing them. This protects your natural bite and prevents the need for more complex treatment.
Relief from pain
An infected tooth can cause severe pain and sensitivity. Root canal treatment removes the infection, providing lasting relief.
Protect your oral health
After a root canal, the tooth is often restored with a crown, strengthening it for long-term function and appearance.

Recently had some dental implants done by Balbriggan Dental & Impact Clinic. I was really nervous but Dr Bashara is so experienced and professional at his work - he put me completely at ease. There is a lovely, relaxed feeling when you walk in. Lorraine & Tracy are worth their weight in gold! Both very experienced dental nurses and EVERYTHING was explained before, during and after treatment. For anyone who is nervous of Dentists like me, I highly recommend this clinic. Thanks to all the staff for making an anxious patient so relaxed and not dreading any future appointments. Thanks again!
My daughter had her braces removed today and the results are amazing. Every appointment ran smoothly and all staff from the reception to the dentist's chair were friendly and informative at all times. We would highly recommend Pearls to our friends & family. Continue the great work. Ps. The one4allvoucher was the icing on the cake!!! Thank u :)
OMG - this man is to teeth that Ronaldo is to football. The undisputed goat of oral healthcare. Went in with serious toothache and came out with not only a filling but a sugar free lollipop. Gum disease is no laughing matter but made me feel less guilty about the 27 calipos I have during the summer.I was apprehensive due to my anaesthetic allergy but his alternative pain numbing procedure was not only pleasant but life affirming. God speed to those who go elsewhere, you put your life in danger ⚠️
I had a great experience with Plaza Dental in Smithfield & Castleknock. I got 6 month braces as I needed my teeth to be straight for my wedding in October. The staff were so accomodating and made sure I got the results within the tight timeframe. Everyone at the clinic are so welcoming and friendly which put me to ease, especially Gosia. Since the first day, Gosia was so kind and helpful and always checked in to see my progress. I am so grateful to have Aoife fix my teeth as she did an amazing job and she also came in on her days off just to check my teeth. I am so thankful for Gosia and Aoife for giving me the smile I wanted, which has massively helped with my confidence. I will 100% recommend Plaza Dental to my family and friends.
Really good experience at this practise. Firstly I had a check up and cleaning done and was very happy, then I had my 8 Yr old son (ASD) in for a check up and fissure seals. The dentists and nurses are very kind, gentle, patient and professional. The practise is lovely, modern & clean. Would highly recommend.
I'm normally very nervous at the dentist but the experience I had at sundrive dentist put me completely at ease The dentist and nurse were so gentle and so professional Did a great job on my teeth and made me feel ill go back Sorry I can't remember the dentists name but thank you so much sundrive dental
Excellent service. Great facilities and very friendly staff. First class dental care with customer focus throughout.
Very professional. All of the team in Pearls were very friendly. The care and follow-up were thorough and my Invisalign treatment even finished a little ahead of schedule.
Excellent experience, I highly recommend. I went in to fix a really nasty fracture on my upper left front tooth. It wasn't the first time that has happened to me because my bite is a little wonky and it makes my teeth brittle. I was really embarrassed of my appearance, but I was greeted with a lovely smile and everyone at the clinic was so kind. I felt at ease. Dr. Renan especially as he explained all my options to me so I could make the most informed decision. He even went out of his way to fix my bite to prevent the tooth from fracturing again. The tooth looks beautiful now and I feel confident again. 10/10
I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Jannis Heinrich for his professional assistance in an emergency situation with my son. Dr. Heinrich not only provided prompt and high-quality treatment, but also showed incredible compassion and care, which greatly supported us during a difficult time. It is especially impressive how easily Dr. Heinrich connects with children. My son felt trust, and after having his tooth extracted, he walked out of the office with a smile on his face and now happily visits this dental clinic. Dr. Jannis Heinrich is a true master of his craft and a top-level professional. He treated my cavity quickly and painlessly, improved the aesthetics of my smile, and also successfully placed two crowns in just one day. He treats every patient with care and deep attention. Dr. Heinrich is a prime example of what a progressive, modern dentist should be — someone who truly loves their profession and their work! McEvoy Dental Clinic has a special atmosphere — it’s cozy, calm, and genuinely feels like home. A million thanks to the entire staff of McEvoy Dental Clinic for your warmth and the exceptionally high standards of medical service.
Everything you need to know about root canal treatment in Dublin, Kilkenny & Kildare
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a treatment that removes infected pulp from inside a tooth. Once the infected tissue is removed, the root canal is cleaned, shaped, and filled to protect against further infection. Finally, the tooth is sealed and usually restored with a crown to bring back strength and function.
When might I need one?
Root canal treatment is needed when decay or damage allows bacteria to reach the pulp inside your tooth. Signs include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling of the gums, or a darkened tooth. If untreated, the infection can spread and cause an abscess.

Your root canal
questions answered
Are root canals painful?
Thanks to local anaesthetic, root canals are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Patients in Dublin City Centre, Kilkenny, and Balbriggan often comment that the treatment brought immediate relief compared to the pain of the infection itself.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals can be completed in one or two appointments. The time depends on how many root canals the tooth has. Patients in Kimmage and Artane often complete treatment in less than two hours per visit.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
If infection spreads, it can cause an abscess, severe pain, and even lead to tooth loss. In some cases, emergency extraction is the only option. Patients across Dublin, Kilkenny and Kildare often find treating early avoids bigger problems later.
Can children or teenagers need root canals?
Yes - although less common, root canal treatment can sometimes be needed for younger patients. Our team in Dublin City Centre and Kilkenny provides gentle care to ensure children feel comfortable if this treatment is required.
