Within two years of attaining a Masters in Dental Surgery with Distinction, Dr Andrew Nichols began further qualifications at the University of Chester under the mentorship of the SimplyEndo Team. He has now completed a Masters degree in Endodontics with Merit and is looking to further his knowledge in endodontic surgery in the near future.
If you choose to refer your patients into the care of Dr Andrew Nichols, they will be well looked after during their treatment journey. Patient care is at the top of the teams priority list at Dr Andrew Nichols Endodontics, where we have a kind, compassionate dental team from reception staff, dental surgery assistance and the clinician himself. You will be fully informed about the treatment completed, receiving acceptance of the referral notice and full clinical notes and radiographs once treatment is completed. You can expect a high standard of dental treatment carried out by an experienced, skilful team and you will always receive a referral of your patient back to your care once endodontic treatment is completed.
Endodontics is a challenging dental procedure, dealing with bacteria in narrow root canals. Eradication of all bacteria may not possible in every case, meaning the success rate of endodontic treatment cannot be 100%. Dr Andrew Nichols will discuss the estimated success rate on a case by case basis with each patient so that they are able to make an informed decision before proceeding with treatment.
Dr Andrew Nichols uses a range of equipment to perform root canal treatment, including a CJ Optic Flexion Advanced Dental Operating Microscope with Live Camera Feed. For a full list of equipment, visit our equipment page.
Often, after teeth have been damaged extensively enough to require endodontic treatment, they require protective restorations to secure their long term health. Molars will, in almost all cases, require an extra coronal restoration such as a crown or onlay following root canal treatment. Dr Andrew Nichols will routinely refer your patient back to your care for any further treatment such as a crown. If you would prefer all treatment to be carried out by Dr Andrew Nichols, please state so in your referral.
Many patients attend endodontic consultations with fear or anxiety after hearing stories from friends or family about root canal treatment. Modern day endodontic treatment is very comfortable thanks to the use of strong local anaesthetic solutions. Furthermore, the use of rubber dam to isolate the tooth protects your mouth from instruments, water spray and cleaning solutions, providing a barrier from the treatment being carried out. About 50% of my endodontic patients are falling asleep by the end of the appointment because they have become so relaxed.
