Are you experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity that doesn’t go away? At Dental Land Summerhill, we provide tooth-saving root canal therapy that relieves discomfort, stops infection, and protects your natural tooth. With fast, pain-free treatment using rotary technology, our goal is to help you save your natural smile without extraction and restore full function and comfort.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a restorative procedure that treats the inner pulp of a tooth when it becomes infected or damaged. During treatment, the infected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned with precision, and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection. This allows you to keep your natural tooth in place rather than facing an extraction.
Who Needs Root Canal Therapy?
You may be a candidate for a root canal if you are experiencing any of the following:
Persistent toothache or pain when biting down
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers even after the stimulus is gone
Swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump on the gum near a tooth
Tooth discoloration or darkening caused by pulp damage
Deep decay or cracks that have reached the tooth’s pulp
If you notice these symptoms, seeking treatment promptly can prevent the need for extraction and allow you to save your natural smile without extraction.
Why Do You Need Root Canal Therapy?
Preserves your natural tooth
Our tooth-saving root canal therapy helps you avoid unnecessary extractions and replacements.
Stops infection at the source
Infected pulp is removed to stop bacteria from spreading.
Restores comfort and function
Chewing and smiling feel normal again.
Long-lasting solution
With a proper crown or restoration, your tooth can remain strong for many years.
Alternatives to Root Canal Therapy
While root canal therapy is often the preferred solution, alternatives include:
Tooth Extraction – Removing the tooth entirely, which then requires replacement options to maintain bite and function.
Dental Implant – A surgical replacement of the missing tooth with a titanium implant and crown.
Dental Bridge – A prosthetic supported by neighboring teeth to replace the missing one.
Root Canal vs. Extraction
Extraction removes the infection quickly but leaves a gap that requires replacement. Root canal therapy is more conservative because it lets you keep your natural tooth.
Root Canal vs. Implant
Implants are an effective replacement but require surgery, longer healing, and higher cost. When a tooth can be saved, root canal therapy is usually the simpler and more affordable option.
Our 4-Step Root Canal Procedure
At Dental Land Summerhill, our process is designed for comfort and efficiency:
Step 1: Diagnosis and Comfort
We use digital X-rays to confirm the problem and numb the area completely so treatment is pain-free.
Step 2: Tooth-Saving Root Canal Therapy
A small opening is made to access the pulp. Using rotary endodontic instruments, we clean and shape the canals precisely, ensuring fast, pain-free treatment using rotary technology.
Step 3: Disinfection and Sealing
Antibacterial solutions flush out bacteria, and the canals are sealed with a biocompatible filling to protect the tooth.
Step 4: Restoration and Protection
The tooth is restored with a filling or, in most cases, a crown for long-term strength and to help you save your natural smile without extraction.
CDCP and Insurance
Our team makes essential care accessible. Most private insurance plans cover part of root canal therapy and the final crown. We also accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), making it easier for eligible patients to access tooth-saving root canal therapy. For those without coverage, flexible payment options are available.
FAQs
Is root canal therapy painful?
With local anesthesia and modern techniques, most patients feel only slight pressure during treatment.
How long does treatment take?
Many root canals can be completed in a single visit, though complex cases may require two.
Do I need a crown afterward?
Most back teeth require a crown to restore full function and prevent fractures.
What happens if I avoid treatment?
Delaying care allows infection to spread, which can lead to swelling, bone loss, or tooth loss. Root canal therapy prevents these complications.
