Root canal therapy
A root canal removes infection inside a tooth and creates a clean, sealed space to help preserve your natural tooth. While the idea can feel intimidating, many patients are surprised by how routine and comfortable the procedure can be.
We explain each phase beforehand, answer questions openly, and move slowly so you always feel in control of what’s happening.
Why you might need one
When infection reaches the inner part of a tooth, it won’t resolve on its own. Treating it early prevents further spread and helps you avoid more complex treatment later. A root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth while removing the source of discomfort.
What treatment is like
After numbing the area, we carefully clean and shape the inner canal, remove infected tissue, and seal the space to protect the tooth. We’ll review whether a crown is recommended afterward and explain how it helps strengthen the tooth long term.
If you’re using the Canadian Dental Care Plan, we’ll outline what portion of the treatment is covered and help you understand your benefits.
We provide direct billing, treatment estimates, and support with insurance. If a crown is recommended, we’ll review options, timelines, and costs clearly.
