A root canal treatment involves careful diagnosis, precise cleaning of the root canals, disinfection, and sealing of the tooth to help preserve its function. In this article, we will explain the different steps involved, the technologies used, and how DR Nooshin Vasfi approaches endodontic care with a focus on precision and patient comfort.
Root canal treatment is one of the most effective ways to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. But like any medical procedure, it’s not entirely immune to complications. So, can a root canal get infected? The answer is yes, although it’s not common—especially when the procedure is performed meticulously and followed up with proper care.
Dr Nooshin Vasfi, an expert in root canal therapy, explains that without a proper filling, the tooth remains vulnerable. Think of it like disinfecting a wound and then sealing it with a sterile dressing—it’s essential to both clean and protect.
Dr Nooshin Vasfi, an experienced endodontics specialist, explains that the procedure involves removing infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, disinfecting the canals, and sealing the space to prevent further infection.

Travelled from Scotland, to visit family and decided to get a checkup with my old dentist. It was lovely to get an update on my root canal treatment and see how much the condition has improved since i was last here. Still lovely and friendly service all round.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Nooshin Vasfi and their team, and I couldn't be happier with the care I’ve received. From the moment I walk in, the staff are welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. Recently, I had a complex root canal procedure done, and the experience was handled with such expertise and compassion. Dr. Vasfi took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel at ease throughout. The follow-up care has also been excellent. Highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a skilled, kind, and trustworthy dental team. Thank you again for looking after my dental health so well!

I have been with this dental practice for years and they have always been so helpful and supportive throughout any treatments. I feel like I am in such safe hands with my dental health being monitored thoroughly in the regular check ups. Dr Nooshin Vasfi really knows her craft and always explains everything in depth so you understand and can make informed decisions. On top of that she is very kind and patient with me, as an anxious patient this is so appreciated

I visited Dr Vasri and team recently for 2x urgent root canals. I’m honestly not sure I’ve had such a calm and relaxing experience (possibly ever, but definitely at the dentists!) From the moment I got there I was welcomed and put at ease. Nooshin exudes competence but also real warmth, and as she talked me through every part of my procedures (against the background music of Chopin and Beethoven) I trusted her implicitly. In the past some dentists have made me feel guilty for having the audacity to suffer from bad teeth, but Nooshin has fixed what was broken and kindly helped teach me better habits for my oral health moving forward. If it wasn’t a five hour round trip, I’d come back for every checkup and future work, without hesitation or exception. Thank you all so much, Rachel Clark

It means the world to us that you felt supported and never judged—we're here to help, not just with treatment but also with guidance for long-term oral health.

I recently visited Dr. Vasfi for two very lengthy root canal appointments after being referred to her by my regular dentist. To say I was absolutely dreading these procedures was an understatement, but I needn’t have worried at all. Nooshin is very calm, kind, and patient, and her demeanour immediately puts you at ease. As an anxious and nervous patient, the entire team at Premier Smile Dental Excellence went out of their way to make sure that I was looked after and answered my many questions. The overall procedure was painless, and the actual root canal work that was undertaken was incredibly thorough. Nooshin talks you through each stage of the root canal process, so you know exactly what to expect during the procedures (you can even choose what music you might like to be played during your treatment if this helps to relax you too). Nooshin takes x-rays and photographs of your teeth before and after treatment so you can really see the difference she makes! If you need any kind of intricate dental work done (especially if you have been putting this off) then I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Vasfi, her caring nature, expertise and attention to the personalised level of dental care she provides is second to none. Thank you Nooshin and the team - I can't thank you enough.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had a root canal and crown preparation done by Dr Nooshin Vasfi, and I couldn't be more impressed with the care I received. From the moment I walked into the clinic, the staff was friendly and professional, making me feel comfortable right away. Dr Nooshin Vasfi was thorough in explaining the procedure, which really put my mind at ease. The root canal was virtually painless, and the crown preparation was smooth and efficient. I appreciated how careful and precise the entire process was. The follow-up care and attention to detail were top-notch. If you're looking for a dentist who is both skilled and compassionate, I highly recommend Dr Nooshin Vasfi and her team. My experience was excellent, and I'm thrilled with the results.

The Rolls Royce of dentists. This is a truely a team of professionals who care not only about providing the highest standards in their profession, but also their focus on customer/ patient care is the best there is. I speak from visiting many practices over the years, never feeling totally at ease or completely relaxed. But Premier Smile is different. Whether it's a check up, clean and brush up, or something more significant like an implant, you just know and feel that you are in the best of hands receiving the best care. Dr Vasfi and all her team are in my opinion the very best at what they do and I cannot speak highly enough about them. The quality of their work is incredible. I don't know where my filling is anymore because I genuinely can't see it. And my new crown, what crown? That's what I said! Because instead of a big clunky lump, I now have what looks like an original perfectly formed tooth. So I'll finish by adding master workmanship to the list of accolades they thoroughly deserve. And no, I'm not an employee, I'm just well overdue in telling everyone how truely brilliant Premier Smile is.

Wow, what an incredible review – thank you so much! We’re truly humbled by your thoughtful words and glowing praise.

Dr. Vasfi and the entire team are passionate about delivering exceptional results, and your feedback about our craftsmanship—especially your "invisible" filling and perfectly natural-looking crown—is such a testament to that dedication. We’re thrilled to know that you feel not only cared for but also like you’re in the best hands possible. Thank you again for sharing your experience and for recognizing our team's hard work.

As someone who has always feared the dentist and left a failed root canal untreated for far too long, I finally decided to seek help from an Endodontist. After reading numerous online reviews, I chose Dr. Vasfi for her reputed skills and expertise. Following a thorough examination and treatment, I can confidently say that Dr. Vasfi and her team are exceptional. Despite my anxiety, from the initial booking to the actual procedure, I was consistently reassured and made to feel comfortable. The root canal re-treatment was completely painless, and I was initially apprehensive about the local anesthetic, but Dr. Vasfi's skill ensured I didn't feel a thing. She was incredibly patient, answering all my questions and explaining everything clearly to put me at ease. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Vasfi, Susan, Clare, and Theresa for their outstanding care and support. Thank you all so much! If you're a nervous patient who's been delaying dental treatment, look no further. You will receive the highest standard of care here!

A huge thank you to Dr. Nooshin for saving my tooth by performing root canal treatment on a tooth that another specialist In London stopped half way through and said it cannot be done and wanted to extract. Thankfully Nooshin came highly recommend and I am so grateful for her care and expertise. Premier smile has the most professional and friendly team. I cannot imagine going anywhere else , definitely worth the journey from London.

Dr Vasfi is an endodontist of quite extraordinary skill. I came some distance to her for my root canal treatment because I knew of her reputation, and I was not disappointed. I have seen the x-rays and it's beautiful work. If you have got to have a root canal done, you can insist your dentist refer you to Dr Vasfi rather than some other specialist you know nothing about.Posted on Google![]()

Initially came to this surgery after having lost confidence in my first dentist. Doctor Vasfi took the time to explain the different issues and their matching treatments and offered options as well as her professional opinion on which route to take to best cater for my needs. Both the dentist and the hygienists were very polite and caring throughout the treatments, which put me immediately at ease. The work was carried out efficiently and without pain.

A small private practice with quality personal care throughout your treatment plan. In my opinion and experience so far, the dentistry here, is of the highest calibre. Dedicated, caring staff who clearly put the patient's best interest first. The two dentists: Dr Nooshin Vasfi and Dr Cosimo Loperfido are highly trained in their individual specialised fields. I would highly recommend them and their practice.

I began to suffer severe toothache just before Christmas. My dentist in London was not available so a friend suggested contacting Premier. To my astonishment I was able to get an emergency appointment with Nooshin Vasfi on Christmas Eve. I was made to feel completely at ease and the care taken by Nooshin and her team was fantastic. Christmas was a lot more fun than it would have been! Thank you so much.

All my life I have had problems with my teeth and hated going to the dentist. Dr. Vasfi is the first dentist that I look forward to see. She is so caring and such an expert. She makes you feel at ease and you can trust her judgment. You know that she is recommending for you what she would have done for herself. Moreover, she makes sure that you are fine with the treatment afterwards. I never imagined that going to the dentist could be a pleasant experience.

Dr Nooshin Vasfi has been looking after my smile for about four years now. Everything about her and her practice is great -- from the friendly greeting from the staff to the first rate professional dental treatment. I have had a range of treatments from Dr Vasfi -- from the routine to the very complex. In each case, I have really appreciated her attention to every detail, including hygiene, diagnosis, recommended treatment and the treatment itself. She is fussy about getting it right! Dr Vasfi is also very focused on her patient's experience: She understands if you're apprehensive and she takes time to reassure you and to explain each procedure. She takes care to make sure that you're as relaxed and as comfortable as possible. Best of all, she achieves results that look and feel great! Highly recommended.

Nooshin is the most expert, professional, best dentist I have ever been to. As a "nervous" patient, she has always been exceptionally kind, and she is so gentle I can't even feel her injections.
