Root Canal Therapy in Calgary

Root canal therapy can save your tooth! Our skilled dentists may recommend this treatment to remove infection, decay, or damaged tissue from the nerves of your tooth. This helps avoid extraction, allowing you to continue using the tooth for years to come.

Also known as a root canal, this treatment is a type of endodontic therapy often recommended when the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged. This can occur if injury or decay penetrates deep into the tooth, past the outer enamel. If left untreated, the infection may cause the tooth to die and require extraction. To restore the tooth’s health, our dentists remove the infected tissue, clean the inside of the tooth, and fill it with medicated material. The tooth is then capped with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to return it to its original shape and function. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in just one or two comfortable visits.

Although root canals have a reputation for being painful, modern techniques, tools, and anesthesia allow treatment to be completed with minimal discomfort. Our dentists and team work hard to ensure every visit is as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
