    In their words

    Our goal is to never make a conventional full lower denture again. We’ve had too many experiences with patients whose quality of life is significantly decreased when they lose their own natural teeth and instead are forced to adjust to wearing bulky plastic floating in their mouths. We don’t want anyone else to suffer through that nightmare, so we strive to make implant overdentures as affordable as possible.

What is a root canal?

A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects and seals the canals. It is done to save a natural tooth that would otherwise need to come out. Most back teeth need a crown afterward.

Root canal: specialist or general dentist?

Many general dentists perform root canals, especially on front teeth and premolars. Endodontists are root canal specialists with 2–3 extra years of training. They are often recommended for molars with curved or hidden canals, retreatments, and teeth with unusual anatomy.

None of Reading's 36 clinics offering root canals list an endodontist on staff in our data yet. See endodontists in Reading
