Gentle Root Canal Care in Canberra
Relieve pain and save your tooth with comfortable, experienced root canal care from Dr Avantica Gupta and the team at Glebe Park Dental.
Root canal treatment relieves pain and saves a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged at the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth. If you have a persistent toothache, swelling around the gum, or a tooth that is badly decayed or damaged, root canal therapy can remove the source of the pain and protect the tooth so you don't need to lose it.
We know root canal treatment has a reputation for being uncomfortable, but modern techniques and careful anaesthetic make the experience far calmer than most people expect. At Glebe Park Dental, you are in the hands of Dr Avantica Gupta, who brings 10 years of hands-on experience to every appointment. As a family-owned, Australian-owned practice in the heart of Canberra, we take the time to explain what's happening at each step and make sure you feel settled before, during and after treatment.

We see patients from right across Canberra, ACT, with our practice conveniently based on Coranderrk St in the city centre, making it easy to fit an appointment around your day.

Root Canal Questions, Answered
Is root canal treatment painful?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable modern root canal treatment is. Local anaesthetic is used throughout the procedure, so you should feel little to no pain during treatment. Some mild soreness afterwards is normal and typically settles within a few days.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, swelling around the gum, or a tooth that has darkened in colour. The best way to know for certain is to book an assessment so the team can take an X-ray and examine the tooth properly.
How long does the procedure take?
Most root canal treatments are completed in one or two appointments depending on the complexity of the tooth and the extent of infection. Your dentist will give you a clear timeline after your initial examination.
What happens after the root canal is finished?
Once the canals are sealed, a crown or permanent restoration is usually recommended to protect the treated tooth and restore full function. Glebe Park Dental offers same-day crowns, which may mean fewer visits to complete your treatment — your dentist will advise the best option for your situation.
Protect a treated tooth with a custom crown, often completed in a single visit.
