Root Canal

BOOK AN APPOINTMENTCall 01483 452 555
Teeth are made up of a crown, the white bit that we can see in the mouth, and the root. Within the root of the teeth, there are canals, these contain the nerve and blood supply to the teeth – known as the pulp. Different teeth have different numbers of roots and thus canals.
Root Canal Guildford Dentist

Root Canal

Root canal treatment can also be called endodontics. This type of treatment is needed when the pulp is irreversibly infected/inflamed due to decay or trauma. The treatment may need to be carried out over 2 appointments.

First, the dentist will have to find and gain access to the canals in the teeth, these canals are then cleaned and shaped. This is done to remove the inflamed/infected pulp (which is causing the pain) and to rid the canals of bacteria. The roots of the tooth will then be filled with a natural rubber material and then a final restoration will be placed – this could be in the form of a filling or crown depending on the tooth in question.

Root Canal FAQ

Why does a root canal treatment need to be carried out in 2 appointments?
At Levitas Dental Clinic Practice in Guildford, the first appointment will focus on removing the infected tissue in your tooth. The second appointment is where the root canal gets cleaned and then filled with a crown to prevent further infection.
Does it hurt to get root canal treatment?
With advancing technology, root canal treatment should no longer be that painful. You will be given a local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel anything during the actual treatment. You may experience some soreness in the few days after root canal treatment which you can manage with paracetamol. Be sure to continue with a good oral hygiene.
What should I not do after having root canal treatment?
may want to avoid eating hard and crunchy foods in the first few days after root canal treatment. Instead, try sticking with soft foods like yoghurt, mashed potato and scrambled egg. Avoid hot food and drinks in the day or two after root canal. Avoid exercising for a day or two to prevent any possible complications. Brush your teeth as usual but refrain from flossing for the first few days at least. You can rinse your mouth with salty warm water to reduce inflammation and ease the pain.

Khaled and his team are very friendly and professional. I had complicated root canal treatment and he did an excellent job with much care and attention. thank you !
Dr Khaled did my whitening at Levitas Guildford and I’m really happy with the results. He took the time to explain the process and made sure I was comfortable throughout. My teeth look so much brighter already. Great experience overall.
Went to Levitas in Guildford for a check-up after not seeing a dentist for way too long. Honestly expected a lecture but they were super chill about it. The dentist was really friendly, explained what I need to keep an eye on without making me feel bad. Place looks nice too, not clinical or scary. Feels like I’ve finally found a dentist I don’t dread going to.
I had been putting off replacing a missing tooth for years. Eating on one side was becoming a pain so I finally went to Levitas dental clinic in Guildford for an implant. The process took a few months from start to finish but now it feels like the tooth was never missing. Best decision I have made for my teeth in years.
I booked an Airflow clean here after a friend recommended it. My teeth have never felt this clean. I also had a little bonding done on my front tooth where I had a small chip. I did not realise how much it bothered me until I saw the before and after photos. It is subtle but makes a big difference when I smile.
Had a great experience at Levitas Dental Clinic in Guildford. Idalina, the hygienist, was professional, gentle, and thorough—she made the whole appointment really comfortable. The clinic is modern and welcoming, and the staff are friendly. Highly recommend!
I went to Levitas Dental Clinic in Guildford for a smile makeover, and honestly, I’m so glad I did. I had some minor bonding and whitening done — nothing over the top — but the difference is amazing. The results are really natural and subtle, just what I was after. The team made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. If you're after aesthetic dental treatments in Guildford without the pressure or salesy vibe, this is the place.
So gentle and so thorough. Idalina is the best hygienist I have ever seen in my life. I can’t believe I didn’t come here sooner. Worth every penny
All staff at Levitas are absolutely lovely and Dr Khaled is a great dentist. I really enjoy my visits so I’ll definitely keep on coming back!
I’ve had composite bonding done before, but the attention to detail at Levitas Dental Guildford was on another level. The dentist took time to make sure the colour and shape suited my natural smile — and the results are amazing. I finally feel confident smiling again. The clinic is beautifully designed too, which really adds to the experience. Best cosmetic dentistry I’ve had in Surrey.
I chipped a back tooth and booked in thinking I’d need something major like a crown. Turns out they could fix it on the spot with a composite filling and it looks completely natural. Honestly can’t tell which tooth it was anymore. Khaled was really calm and explained everything without making me feel silly. 100% recommend them if you’re after honest, no-fuss care.
What impressed me most about Levitas Dental Guildford is their regenerative and preventive focus. I came in for a routine hygiene appointment and ended up learning so much about gum health, bone support, and long-term oral wellness. They use advanced technologies like Guided Biofilm Therapy and it honestly felt like a spa for my mouth! If you're looking for a forward-thinking dental clinic in Guildford, this is it.
You get what you pay for in Guildford. This clinic is a bit pricier than others in town but Dr Khaled is a great dentist - he’s very passionate about his work and I was very happy with the results of my hygiene clean. The equipment is also new and modern - some other places don’t have the same air flow machines so the results aren’t the same. Will be back for whitening treatment :)))
I received such nice care in Levitas Dental - from start to finish everyone guided me very well and the procedures went smoothly. I first got Airflow cleaning then whitening super impressed by the results! Thank you Idalina and Khaled!!
Really impressed with Levitas Dental Clinic. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and they made what’s usually a nerve-wracking experience feel surprisingly easy. You can tell they genuinely care. Would definitely recommend!
I had a dental check up with Dr Khalid . He was polite , thorough and passionate about his work. The setting was state of the art and modern . I really enjoyed the air flow hygiene procedure - amazing results !!
A special thanks to SJ who booked me in … kind and professional !
Thank you Levitas
Dr Khaled is one of the best modern dentists in the UK. He went above and beyond to explain every procedure. He deeply cares about the wellbeing of his patients and is exteremly professional. He uses the latest technology so you won't feel pain at all. He is very smooth and efficient. I highly recommend his services. The staff at Levitas is also very friendly.
About as pleasant an experience as you could wish for at a dentist! Khaled is very client focused and professional. Much more modern tools and practices than my previous dental practice in London.
Had my composite bonding done on my top 10 teeth and couldn’t be happier.
Highly recommend 👍🏼
Idalina, Mo and Lauren have done a great job keeping my not so perfect teeth in great shape, thank you guy's.
Dr Khaled Elgamaz and his team have looked after me for few years. I find them very professional and polite. I would highly recommend services.
I had 5 appointments, initially for an emergency. I am really uneasy at the dentist but at Levitas it was wonderful, with excellent professionalism and therapy! I shall be coming again as I feel totally at ease. Received excellent professional advice both from Khaled El Gamaz and his assistant, Lauren.
Best Dentist in Guildford! Very patient service; very good for nervous patients, had an initial consultation only 48 hours I was having the treatment, really recommend to anyone

Dr. El Ghamas is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being. The clinic is clean and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and efficient. Dr. El Ghamas takes the time to explain procedures thoroughly, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout my visit.

Excellent experience. Dr Khaled Elgamaz is very knowledgeable and did a great job with the airflow treatment explaining everything to me. A great team too
Went to see Idalina after having not been to a Hygienist for many years, and I have to say she did an amazing job. No discomfort at all and my teeth looked super clean afterwards. Will definitely be visiting on a regular basis from now on. Highly recommended.
It was a great experience. It's also very professional. Dr. Khaled is great. I already have my next dental appointment.
