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.

I decided to give Balbriggan Dental a try after putting it off for some time after hearing the good reviews, and they lived up to them. The dentist is absolutely lovely and really put my mind at ease, superb job! I'd recommend this place to anyone.
Suzanne (dentist) and Julia (nurse) were amazing! I would normally be quite nervous going to the dentist, but they put me at ease immediately. Suzanne was very knowledgable and really put care and thought into describing the pros and cons of each of my treatment options. Thanks guys!
I started my smile journey last November with Dr. Hazem and from my first consultant to my final teeth I have to say I am absolutely blown away with the whole experience and results. Totally pain free extractions and I even had a filling done without anaesthetic and never felt a thing. Aftercare was amazing and Dr. Hazem ensured that I was happy with my results.
I needed a tooth extracted and was extremely nervous and embarrassed as i had left it so long.I had an appointment with Dr Zaky in Balbriggan Dental this morning.He was absolutely amazing.He put me at ease and has such a lovely manner.I didn't feel a thing and it was over in a few minutes.I was actually relaxed in his chair.His dental nurse was fantastic as well.Thank you both for making me so comfortable and giving me such a positive experience and it was lovely chatting with you
I’ve started using Balbriggan Dental & Facial in 2023 and every visit is a easy process from booking appointments for standard dental work to emergency appointments,Tracey and the Professional Team have got me in and sorted in a swift time frame.

The practise is Clean , offers a comfy chair in the waiting room (of which I only sat down and was up again) Clear walkways and good lighting to easily navigate through the practise. Parking is available on the Road on both sides of the road (paid parking ,meter is located next to the practise but note you must have change as card is not accepted on the meter)
I’ve been seeing Dr.Oana Ursache for a while now, and honestly, she’s the kindest and most patient dentist I’ve ever met. From my very first visit, she made me feel completely at ease—which is saying a lot, considering I used to get pretty anxious about dental appointments 😅 She explains everything clearly, works gently, and genuinely cares—not just about the end result, but about how you feel throughout the whole process. The clinic is clean, calm, and welcoming, and everyone on her team is just as lovely and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend her, especially if you’re looking for a dentist who combines real expertise with warmth and empathy. I actually look forward to my appointments now!
I recently had an appointment with Linda, my dental hygienist, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was professional, friendly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the cleaning. Linda took the time to explain everything she was doing, answered all my questions, and offered helpful tips for maintaining better oral hygiene. I left feeling confident about my dental care. Highly recommend her!
McEvoy dental are definitely the best dental practice I’ve ever dealt with. Dr. Jannis Heinrich is an exceptional dentist and a really great person to deal with. I am delighted that I changed to this dental practice. Would definitely recommend.
There are only good points with this surgery. They open on a Saturday, they gave me the best filling I've ever had - no jagged bits, no sensitivity, fits my bite perfectly and they did it so fast, The receptionist is great with people and professional. For immunocompromised people they are great again. They were happy to wear the aura respirators I bought in, donned them properly, I asked if I could bring in an air filter and they're happy with that too. They understood me wanting the 1st appointment on a quiet day and even have given me a long appointment to do the rest of the work I need so I can minimise appointments. Absolutely stellar. If you or a loved one need to be careful I thoroughly recommend them.
I had severe tooth pain and needed an examination. The staff are amazing, so friendly and extremely helpful. They managed to book me a root canal treatment that very day. I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone!
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.
