What is Root Canal Therapy?

A root canal is done to remove bacteria and infection from the inside of a tooth. If the pulp is infected or damaged, the procedure should be done as soon as possible to avoid pain or further decay. Treating the infection not only relieves pain but also helps save the natural tooth. After a root canal, a dental crown is usually placed to protect the tooth and restore function.

If you think you might need a root canal, visit our dental clinic on Pape Avenue near Danforth. Our experienced dentists will examine your tooth and recommend the best treatment.

How Does Root Canal Treatment Work?

Our Root Canal Treatment consists of some steps that lead to repairing your dental issue, alleviating pain, and preventing further damage. Root canal therapy is often recommended when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected.

The professional dentists at Pape Dental Centre use advanced tools and modern methods to remove the infected pulp carefully, thoroughly clean the tooth, and then fill and seal it. We prioritize your comfort throughout the treatment, aiming for minimal discomfort and a swift recovery.

Root Canal Retreatment

Sometimes a tooth that has already had a root canal starts to hurt again, months or even years later. This usually happens when a narrow canal was missed the first time, the seal has broken down, or new decay has crept in under the crown. Retreatment reopens the tooth, removes the old filling material, cleans and disinfects the canals again, then seals them. Dr. Peter Bellingham, our endodontist, handles these cases at Pape Dental Centre. Call us if an old root canal is giving you trouble and we will take an X-ray to see what is going on inside the tooth.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was really nervous having a molar removed today. Dr Shahrbandi speaks so calmly which helps me relax. He talks you through the procedure while making sure you feel no pain, and before I knew it, it was over. I couldn’t believe how quick it and painless it was, I laughed in disbelief while asking if it was really over. He’s very caring. So happy he’s my dentist.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough good things about this dental clinic!
Ildi is my favourite hygienist! She is so gentle, empathetic, and truly caring. I used to never want to go for cleanings until I went to her. When she would inadvertently hit a sensitive spot (causing me to jump or tense up), she would stop and gently stroke my cheek. Super soothing. Then she would move on to next tooth, instead of acting as though I was being silly.
Then there's Dr Sima. Such a gentle dentist! And so good at taking care of me and my teeth.
Then there's dr Sasan. He has performed 2 extractions for me, and both times, upon completion, I was saying "what? That's it???" The needles for freezing are painless, for the most part (I'm extremely sensitive, if you haven't guessed), and extraction? Pulling teeth? Seriously 30 mins from freezing needle to out the door! And no pain! And the healing is so quick!
I want to tell everyone to go t this dental clinic, while wanting to keep them all to myself. Because they are so excellent

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had fillings done and this is the first time I could walk out of my appointment feeling like I didn’t have a procedure! Dr Sasan was so gentle and made me feel calm all the way through. Accompanied by excellent and friendly staff Laura helped me feel relaxed and like I was in safe hands (I get extremely nervous at the dentist) - and I was!
Side note: Ildiko is an awesome hygienist!
Thank you team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I  had a wisdom tooth extraction, and I can’t thank my dentist ( Dr. Sasan )  enough for how smoothly everything went. The tooth was in bad shape and difficult to remove, but Dr. Sasan was incredibly skilled, calm, and patient throughout the entire procedure.
He made sure I was comfortable at every step and constantly checked to ensure I wasn’t feeling any pain. His gentle and reassuring approach made a stressful situation so much easier. I really appreciated how professional yet kind he was the whole time.
If you’re nervous about dental procedure, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr.Sasan . You’ll be in very capable and caring hands!
I also had a great experience with my dental hygienists ( Rose and also Hengameh) .
They were both kind, calm, and very gentle, which made the whole appointments comfortable and stress-free. They were also highly professional and attentive. I truly appreciated their care.

FAQs

Is a root canal painful?

With modern techniques and local anesthesia, the procedure is generally no more painful than getting a regular filling. Moreover, our patients who had rather painful procedures claimed that it was worth the pain to eliminate the consistent toothache they had before the treatment.

How long does a root canal take?

It typically takes between 60 to 90 minutes. The duration varies depending on the complexity of the case. Some cases may even require more than one appointment to complete.

What are the alternatives to root canal treatment?

One main alternative to a root canal is tooth extraction. It is followed by options to replace the missing tooth, such as dental implants, bridges, or dentures. However, saving the natural tooth through a root canal is often the preferred option.

Can I get a crown after a root canal?

Yes, it is generally recommended to get a crown after a root canal. A crown helps restore the strength, functionality, and appearance of the treated tooth. It provides essential protection against fractures and further damage, ensuring the tooth remains healthy and stable. Consult with your dentist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
