Our experienced team uses modern techniques and technology to ensure a comfortable and effective experience—from diagnosis to recovery.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is an endodontic procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth). During the procedure, the pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is disinfected, and the canal is sealed to prevent future infection.

Root canals are commonly required after deep decay, trauma, or severe tooth pain—and can often save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Preserves Your Natural Tooth

Avoids the need for extraction and replacement options like implants or bridges.

Relieves Tooth Pain and Pressure

Eliminates infection and inflammation in the tooth’s nerve.

Cost-Effective Solution

Saving your natural tooth can be more affordable than extraction and replacement.

Restores Normal Function

After a root canal and crown, your tooth will function like normal for eating, speaking, and smiling.

What to Expect

Root Canal Procedure

Step 1

Diagnosis and Imaging

We use digital X-rays to evaluate the tooth and confirm the need for root canal therapy.

Step 2

Local Anesthesia and Access

The area is numbed, and a small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected pulp.

Step 3

Cleaning and Sealing

The pulp is removed, canals are disinfected and shaped, and the space is sealed with a filling to prevent reinfection.

Step 4

Final Restoration

A crown is typically placed over the tooth to restore strength and protect it from future damage.

Who Needs Root Canal Therapy?

Patients with Persistent Tooth Pain

Ongoing pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure, may indicate infection in the tooth pulp.

Teeth with Deep Decay

When a cavity reaches the tooth’s nerve, root canal therapy is the only way to save it.

Cracked or Injured Teeth

Trauma to the tooth can expose the inner tissue and lead to infection if not treated quickly.

Teeth with Gum Swelling or Abscesses

Signs of infection—such as swollen gums, pus, or darkened enamel—require immediate treatment.

How Much Does Root Canal Therapy Cost?

The cost of root canal therapy in Leslieville depends on the type of tooth treated and whether a crown is needed. On average:

Front tooth root canal: $500–$900
Premolar root canal: $700–$1,100
Molar root canal: $900–$1,500
Crown (if needed): $900–$1,400

We will provide a detailed estimate during your consultation, along with an overview of your coverage.
