About Our Root Canal Treatment in Burnaby
A root canal involves gently removing the nerve tissue of a tooth and sealing the canals with a special rubberlike material. After root canal therapy the tooth will not be able to feel temperature or pain but will maintain normal biting power and sensation.
Our dental clinic offers a reliable solution for saving teeth that are severely infected or damaged. At our dentist practice, we provide high-quality root canal procedures to help you maintain your natural smile and avoid the need for tooth extraction. If you’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, a root canal might be the ideal solution for you.
Have questions about getting a root canal in Burnaby?
Are root canals painful?
No, root canal treatment isn’t painful. In fact, since it addresses the source of your discomfort, actually you’ll feel much less pain as soon as you’ve finished the treatment.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
If more than half of the tooth was removed, or if the tooth was cracked, you’ll need a crown to maintain the tooth’s strength and prevent it from being damaged even further.
Will I be able to go back to school/work after the treatment?
Yes, if you only receive local anesthetic, then you can go directly to school/work after your root canal treatment. You won’t feel much pain (if any), but the numbness may last for 2-4 hours.
Can’t I just have the tooth extracted?
Removing the tooth will stop the pain and infection, but it’ll create new problems for the health and appearance of your smile. Fixing those problems will take much more time, money, and effort than a root canal treatment.
Is root canal treatment safe?
Yes, root canal treatment is safe. While there’s been controversy around the treatment, there has been no evidence supporting claims that root canal treatment leads to cancer.
Can root canal treatment fail?
Like any medical procedure, there’s a chance that a root canal treatment won’t be successful. However, root canal treatment has a 90-95% success rate in general, so the chance that an infection will return is very low.
