Where is root canal treatment offered in Sheffield?
Deepcar Dental Care, in the village of Deepcar on the north-western side of the City of Sheffield, offers root canal treatment. At the practice, a dentist with a special interest in root canal treatment carries it out.
NHS guidance describes root canal treatment as removing an infection from inside a tooth, where the soft pulp sits, then cleaning and filling the tooth to prevent it from getting infected again. The NHS notes that an infected tooth left without root canal treatment may need to come out.
Why the treatment is needed, and how it lets you keep the tooth, is explained on our main page about treating an infected tooth. Our comparison of saving a tooth compared with removing it sets out both options side by side.
What equipment does Deepcar Dental Care have?
Deepcar Dental Care has a rotary endodontic system and an apex locator among its equipment on site. Rubber dam is used routinely across the practice.
What each of these does, and what published guidance says about it, is covered on our page about endodontic technology.
How many visits does root canal treatment take at Deepcar Dental Care?
Root canal treatment at Deepcar Dental Care typically needs 1 to 2 visits, and topical numbing gel is applied before every injection. Our page on what happens during a root canal sets out each stage, and whether a root canal hurts has a page of its own.
If treatment makes you anxious, sedation can be arranged in house on request, and it can be used for root canal treatment. A separate pre-assessment appointment checks suitability, the minimum age is 18, an escort is required for the whole day and there is no driving for 24 hours. How it is arranged is explained on our page about sedation dentistry.

Will the tooth need a crown after root canal treatment?
A crown may be needed after root canal treatment if the tooth was badly infected, according to NHS guidance.
The timing of a crown, where one is needed, is decided case by case at Deepcar Dental Care. It is placed soon after root canal treatment where the tooth is at higher risk, or after around 3 months to let the tooth settle. The practice uses no overseas laboratory work.
When and why a crown is recommended is explained on our page about a crown after root canal. Recovery and care of the tooth are covered on our page about what to expect after root canal treatment, and published figures on how long treated teeth last are gathered on our page of root canal success rates.
How much does root canal treatment cost in Sheffield?
The current fee list prices root canal treatment at Deepcar Dental Care from £450.
Its prices are “from” prices, the fee list explains, because the final fee depends on what is found, and one example it gives is how many canals a tooth has. Re-root canal treatment, for a tooth that has been root-filled before, is listed as price on request, and what root canal retreatment involves is explained on its own page.
For crowns and the rest of restorative dentistry, our cost page shows what it costs on the current fee list.

Is root canal treatment available on the NHS?
In England, NHS guidance places root canal treatment in Band 2, which costs £76.60. The Band 2 list describes it as treatment for an infection or inflammation in the centre of the tooth. The NHS adds that some people can get NHS dental treatment free, or get help with part of the cost of treatment.
Does an S36 postcode mean the practice is in Barnsley?
No. Deepcar Dental Care's S36 address is in Deepcar, which is part of the City of Sheffield, with Sheffield as its post town and 0114 as its dialling code. The S36 district also takes in places that lie in Barnsley borough, so an S36 postcode on its own does not show which council area an address is in.
