Making Dental Care Easy, Comfortable, and Reliable.
Did You Know?
Endodontic therapy (root canal treatment) is a procedure reserved for teeth with dying or infected nerve tissues. Instead of having to extract the tooth and replace it with something else, a root canal helps preserve your natural smile.

What Happens During a Root Canal?
Most root canals are completed over two visits. During your first appointment, we’ll clean out the chamber inside of your tooth root, then place medication inside of it. We’ll let your tooth set for about a week or two, then have you come back for the next stage.
At your second visit, we’ll fill the root canal system with a permanent material that seals off all of the open chambers. This step helps prevent reinfection or bacteria from entering into your tooth.
Each visit takes about one hour or so to complete. Although there’s technically not any recovery time involved, some people may be a bit sore for a day following their initial treatment, simply because of the local anaesthetic injection or having their mouth gently propped open for the visit. Otherwise, root canal treatments are very simple with minimal postoperative discomfort. Usually, an over-the-counter medication is all that’s needed for the first day.

Reasons to Get a Root Canal
You might need a root canal if your tooth was previously traumatised (such as during an athletic injury or automobile accident) and showing signs of nerve death. These symptoms can include a darkening in your tooth’s overall colour, hypersensitivity or even an abscess.
Abscessed teeth can also be caused by deep cavities, cracked teeth or leakage with new decay around older, larger restorations.
Sometimes, an endodontically infected tooth can exhibit severe pain, with swelling in the gums alongside it. At other times, we may never see a visible sign of infection until we take an X-ray of the tooth’s root.
Performing a root canal can help prevent tooth loss or needing an extraction later on.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Have Any Questions?
What is a root canal treatment and why might I need one?
A root canal treatment is a procedure that saves a tooth when the inner nerve (pulp) becomes infected or inflamed. This often happens due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Instead of removing the tooth, we clean out the infection, seal the canals, and restore the tooth with a dental crown if needed. Patients from Kellyville, Rouse Hill, and Beaumont Hills often choose root canal therapy to keep their natural teeth for life.
