Save Your Natural Tooth with
Advanced Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside your tooth. You need it when the pulp (containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes infected due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, large fillings, or trauma. Without treatment, the infection can spread and cause severe pain, swelling, and tooth loss.

A root canal in Labrador typically costs between $1,500 and $3,000 per tooth, depending on the tooth type and case complexity. We offer transparent quotes and flexible payment options, including Afterpay.

Common signs include persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain while chewing, swollen gums, or tooth discolouration. If you notice any of these, book a consult to prevent further damage.

Modern root canal treatment is not painful. We use effective local anesthesia to numb the area completely before starting. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Some mild soreness may occur afterward, but this is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and typically subsides within a few days.

Most root canal treatments can be completed in one or two appointments, each lasting 60-90 minutes. Simple cases may be finished in a single visit, while complex cases might require multiple appointments. The duration depends on factors like the tooth's location, number of roots, and severity of infection. We'll provide you with a clear timeline during your consultation.

After root canal treatment, your tooth will be sealed with a temporary or permanent filling. A crown is typically recommended to protect and strengthen the treated tooth. You should avoid chewing on the treated side until the permanent restoration is placed. Follow proper oral hygiene and attend regular check-ups to ensure the treatment's success.

Root canal treatment has a very high success rate of 85-97%. Most treated teeth can last a lifetime with proper care and a protective crown. Success depends on factors like the tooth's condition before treatment, your oral hygiene, and regular dental visits. Our advanced techniques and equipment help ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

The main alternative to root canal treatment is tooth extraction followed by replacement with a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture. However, preserving your natural tooth through root canal treatment is generally preferable and more cost-effective. Natural teeth function better for chewing and maintain proper jaw alignment and facial structure.
