After avoiding a dentist for 10 years, through fear and bad experiences, I was recommended by a friend who had been treated with sedation at The Dental Connection. For anyone who can't face dental treatment, sedation was a fantastic option
Before receiving treatment with Dr. Cheong, I was concerned about pain. Not only was the treatment painless, I did not feel ANY pain afterwards. I highly recommend The Dental Connection to anyone interested in receiving professional and painless Implants.

Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure and most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontics, is the process of diagnosing and treating problems within the tooth’s inner layers.
Your tooth isn’t just the white enamel you see – it also has layers like dentine, which supports the enamel, and the dental pulp, the soft tissue inside. When the pulp becomes infected due to decay, leaky fillings, or injury, it can cause severe pain and even lead to an abscess if left untreated.
During a root canal, our skilled dental surgeons remove the infected pulp, clean the inner chamber, and seal the tooth to prevent further infection.
This effective treatment can save your natural tooth and stop the spread of infection, giving you lasting relief.

We start by examining your tooth and taking X-rays. Local anaesthesia is then administered to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
Once the pulp is removed, we clean and shape the root canals. This prepares your tooth for a secure filling.
After cleaning, we fill the empty canals with a biocompatible material, sealing the tooth to prevent future infection.
In many cases, we recommend placing a crown or filling over the treated tooth to restore its strength and function, giving you a long-lasting solution.
Don't let dental pain and infection control your life. If you're experiencing any of the signs or symptoms mentioned, it's time to act.

The treatment is essential when the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected or severely damaged. It removes the source of infection, prevents the spread of bacteria, and saves your natural tooth from extraction. That way, you can maintain your oral structure and function.
Most patients experience little to no pain during a root canal treatment because local anaesthesia is used to numb the area. Any post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Root canal treatment in Surbiton usually takes between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the tooth and the number of canals that need to be treated. Some cases may require more than one visit to ensure complete treatment.
The primary alternative to a root canal is tooth extraction. However, extraction can lead to further complications, such as shifting teeth or jawbone loss, which often require additional restorative procedures like implants or bridges.
After your treatment, you can gradually return to normal eating habits. It’s best to start with soft foods until the numbness wears off and your tooth begins to heal. Once fully recovered, you should be able to eat as you normally would.
Yes, root canal treatment can be performed on children when necessary. The procedure is adapted to their specific needs, ensuring that any infected or damaged tooth is treated while preserving the natural tooth structure.
In many cases, a crown is recommended following a root canal treatment to protect the weakened tooth and restore its full function. Your dentist will advise you based on the condition of your tooth and the extent of the treatment performed.
