Root Canal Treatment in Edmonton
The root canal treatment is what makes that pain stop
Root canals have a rough reputation, and in our experience, that reputation is misplaced. Root canal pain, the kind people brace themselves for before booking, is almost always the infection itself, not the treatment.
There are no lectures here about waiting
Root canal treatment in Edmonton, done the way we do it, uses the same numbing, the same comfort menu, and the same unhurried pace as a regular filling.
You’ll know what’s happening at every step, and breaks are always allowed. Nothing about it is rushed just because the word “root canal” tends to make people brace for the worst.
If you have a tooth that’s been in pain for a while before booking a root canal appointment, that’s between you and your tooth. We’re not going to make you feel worse about the timing. We’ll focus on getting you comfortable and getting the infection treated, starting from where you are right now, not from where you wish you’d started.
What should you expect during a root canal?
Most people need one to two appointments, and we’ll always tell you before your visit which one you’re likely looking at.
Numbing first
You’ll be numbed first, the same as any other restorative procedure here.
Remove the infection
We remove the infected tissue.
Clean and seal
We clean and seal the area.
A crown if needed
In some cases we place a crown afterward to protect the tooth long term.
When we highly recommend a root canal, there's always a reason
Once a tooth’s nerve is infected, a root canal is most often the treatment we’ll recommend. We’ll explain exactly why we’re recommending the treatment, in plain language, before we do anything. You’ll have the information you need to make an informed decision. If something else can wait, we’ll tell you that plainly too.
