Our clinic, based a mile from Embankment, offers the best in root canal therapy and treatments for tooth decay, infections and pulpitis, with tooth extraction always being the last resort.
Let’s save your teeth from failing and ensure they do the job they were designed to do!
Reasons you might need root canal treatment
Root canals are often necessary to treat damage deep inside the tooth. When a tooth has formed a large cavity, it can sometimes reach the pulp chamber of the tooth, which is made up of fine tissue fibres, nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach the pulp chamber, the tooth’s internal structure is damaged, which can lead to painful consequences such as abscesses.
NO NEED TO WORRY
We have found that many of our London patients are concerned about root canal treatment, but you should experience no pain or discomfort during the procedure, and it’s over relatively quickly. Here at Mint Dental, our ethos is to educate patients about the procedure beforehand, explaining why it might be necessary, the purpose of any expert intervention, and any additional procedures required.
FAST PROCEDURE
Root canal treatment removes bacteria from inside the tooth and disinfects the root canals. While this may sound invasive, we only make a small hole through the damaged tooth to reach the pulp chamber.
Following this, we locate and measure the root canal, then use tiny instruments to clean the infected area. Post-procedural discomfort is normal, manageable, and short-lived. Your dentist will provide you with all the necessary aftercare tips.
Root canals traditionally do not take much time to complete (one to two hours). However, each patient is different, and the procedure length will vary based on the complexity of your case. Sometimes, re-rooting or re-treatment may be necessary and may take longer than an initial appointment.
The benefits of continuing with root canal therapy
- Quality of life is restored, allowing you to eat and chew without restrictions
- Works to preserve and save the natural structure of your tooth
- Avoids the alternative of tooth extraction and gaps in the mouth
- Once successfully completed lasts a lifetime (treatment success 95%)
- Keeps your smile entirely natural with no need for false prosthetics
- Effective and almost instant pain relief

EXCELLENT Based on 585 reviews Posted on Maria ThanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose Mint Dental Clinic after searching for various dental clinics offering sedation and I had an incredible experience thanks to the entire team!! I am terrified of the dentist with a phobia of needles, and I avoid going for check-ups to the point where I developed a huge amount of cavities. After my teeth were analysed by Dr Patel's team, they identified that some of them needed urgent fillings. As sedation is expensive, the team was helpful and patient in helping me figure out the right financial plan to tackle everything before my teeth worsened, including adding extra teeth cleaning for free! I had IV sedation twice for two rounds of fillings across a month, and each time I was put at ease despite coming in the clinic with intense anxiety. I cried as I sat in the chair with the IV in my arm due to my fear of needles. They were kind and patient, and the nurses / sedationists helped calm down my breathing despite the panic. I was terrified of being 'awake' but not being able to communicate or breathe. The team was very reassuring in those fears and I had a lovely experience where I remained conscious but with amnesia, so I had 0 trauma afterwards since you have no memory of anything! The team made me feel heard and supported without being judged. They made sure my chaperone knew everything before bringing me home, and all of my teeth are healthy without any complications post-appointment. I am now ready for routine work without the intense fear of dentistry and feel much more ready to start any dental work WITHOUT sedation in the very near future!Posted on AndreaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole team at Mint, starting from the moment you walk through the door (or call up) are focused on providing excellent care. Great reception team and Orman especially, always goes that extra mile. My dentists (Dr Mehdi and Dr Alves) are very personable, thorough and ensured everything was explained clearly, and only proceeded once I'd understood and was content. Whilst in the chair, both dentists were checking in making sure I was doing ok throughout it all. Then at the end, checked I was happy and offered an open-door to return, for some tweaks if necessary. I am very happy with the results. I always feel completely at ease for my visits, so much so that I look forward to them. Highly recommend! >Posted on Adeoye OmowumiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m always impressed with the level of care at Mint Dental Clinic. They focus not just on treatment but also on prevention, helping you avoid future dental issues. The dentist is fantastic, and front of house is friendly, welcoming approach adds to the great experience.Posted on Gloria FreifeldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mint Dental Clinic consistently delivers professional, high-quality care. Dr. Patel is exceptional—thorough, gentle, and genuinely attentive. Elizabeth at the front desk always welcomes you with a warm smile, making every visit feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.Posted on Halil EsenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had an outstanding experience at this clinic. Dr. Raj Patel delivers exceptional quality work and somehow makes every treatment feel completely painless. It’s amazing having all types of dental care under one roof, and the whole team really focuses on prevention rather than quick fixes. After completing my treatment, I now have a healthy, confident smile that still looks natural. The hygienists are fantastic, and every member of the team is warm, professional, and genuinely invested in your wellbeing. If you’re looking for shortcuts, this isn’t the place for you—but if you want thorough, honest, high-quality dentistry, I can’t recommend this clinic enough.Posted on Tahsin ChowdhuryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had an excellent experience at this dental practice. My hygienist Peter is absolutely brilliant, thorough and incredibly skilled at what he does. He always takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes each visit comfortable. A big shout-out as well to Arman at reception. He’s always friendly, helpful, and efficient, making the whole process from booking to check-in smooth and stress-free. Overall, a fantastic team and a dentist I truly trust. Highly recommend!Posted on Rizwan LimbadaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I inquired about Invisalign's earlier this year at this clinic, as I was quite self conscious of my teeth. I had a very insightful conversation with Arman who gave me a thorough explanation regarding the process, treatment, what to expect results wise, and the cost. This then led me to begin my Invisalign journey, and from start to finish it has truly been seamless, immensely effective, and so beneficial. Dr Sharma did an exceptional job throughout, and helped in understanding the developments to expect, how it occurs, and overall making my experience extremely easy and efficient. The service was immaculate from the receptionists, Dr Sharma and his assistant dentist. Also as of recent, I’ve been getting hygiene checkups by Danica and I must say she has been amazing. She explained the anatomy of my teeth and gums in detail, and made me understand much more about dental hygiene and its cruciality. Overall I have no complaints whatsoever, and will 100% refer this clinic to friends and family, as they produce and prioritise high-quality work and service. Extra shout out to Arman as he’s been extremely helpful, and looked after me very well.Posted on Yassim JamaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend this dentist. Dr Patel is an exceptional professional, and my family and I have been attending for many years. Since we moved to the Clinic, even my son, who never liked going to the dentist, now looks forward to his visits. The dental hygienist is also excellent. The reception team provide consistently high service, always polite, welcoming and professional.
