Endodontics and nothing but: finding out exactly what has gone wrong inside a tooth and treating it thoroughly enough for the tooth to stay.

Why one field, practised deeply
Root canal treatment rewards patience and punishes haste. The canals are tiny, every tooth is built a little differently and the difference between a root filling that lasts for decades and one that fails within a couple of years is often a single canal that nobody found. Devoting a clinical career to this work means the operating microscope, the ultrasonic and electronic instruments and the long appointments it requires are simply the normal way of doing things — and the difficult cases arrive often enough to hold no surprises.
Your own dentist remains your dentist. They continue your routine care and restore the tooth once Angel has treated it, and they receive a report with X-rays and recommendations so that the two halves of your care connect. The guide what is an endodontist and when do you need one? sets out how the roles differ.
The principles behind every visit
- Diagnosis first. Cold and bite tests and the right X-rays come before any recommendation. If the tooth does not need root canal treatment, you will be told so.
- A written plan. Diagnosis, proposed treatment, realistic outlook and fee are set down after the consultation, and you decide at your own pace.
- Magnification as standard. The microscope is used for every treatment and retreatment, never reserved for hard cases alone.
- Modern technique. Rubber dam isolation, electronic length measurement, ultrasonic activation of the irrigants and current sealing materials are routine.
- Time to do it well. Appointments are long enough to finish properly, usually in one visit.
- Honesty. You will understand what is wrong, what will be done and what to expect — including when the honest answer is that a tooth cannot be kept.
Anxious patients
Many people who need endodontic treatment have put the dentist off for years, or dread the words "root canal" because of one bad experience long ago. Angel has made their care a deliberate focus. Say so when you book and the appointment is planned around you: a full explanation first, anaesthetic tested before anything begins, a signal to pause at any moment and breaks whenever you want them. He has also completed training in oral and intravenous dental sedation at Guy's Hospital in London, so whether sedation would suit you can be discussed at your consultation.

Fees
No two teeth are the same, so there is no single price for "a root canal". The fee for your tooth is confirmed in your written plan after the consultation and before treatment starts, and it does not change part-way through.
