Root Canal Treatment in Calgary, AB
Save Your Natural Tooth with Gentle, Expert Care
Relieve Pain & Sensitivity
A root canal removes infection from inside the tooth, providing immediate relief from pain, swelling, and sensitivity caused by deep decay or injury.
Save Your Natural Tooth
Unlike extraction, a root canal preserves your natural tooth, maintaining proper bite function and long-term oral health.
Prevent Future Infections
By removing infected tissue and sealing the tooth, a root canal helps prevent further decay and the need for more extensive treatments.
When a Root Canal Is Needed
Deep Decay & Infection
Untreated cavities allow bacteria to penetrate the tooth’s pulp, leading to inflammation, pain, and infection that can spread if not addressed.
Abscessed Teeth
An infected tooth can form an abscess, causing swelling, fever, and persistent pain. A root canal removes the infection, preventing it from spreading to other teeth.
Cracked or Damaged Teeth
A fracture or crack can expose the inner tooth, leading to sensitivity, pain, and infection. A root canal seals and strengthens the tooth, preventing further damage.
Repeated Dental Work
Teeth that have had multiple fillings or restorations may weaken over time, leading to nerve irritation or infection. A root canal can preserve the tooth and restore function.
Trauma or Injury
A sudden impact can damage a tooth’s nerve, even if there is no visible crack. Without treatment, this can lead to pain and long-term complications.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal
A root canal may be needed if you experience:
- Ongoing tooth pain or sensitivity that lingers after eating or drinking hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Swollen or tender gums around a specific tooth
- A dark or discoloured tooth, often a sign of nerve damage
- Pain while biting or chewing, which may indicate infection or internal damage
- A small bump or abscess on the gums near a painful tooth
If you have any of these symptoms, early treatment can prevent worsening pain and save your natural tooth.
What to Expect During Your Root Canal Treatment
Consultation
We begin with a detailed oral examination and 3D scans to assess the infection and plan your treatment with precision and accuracy.
Pain-Free Care
To ensure your comfort, we completely numb the area using modern anesthesia techniques so you won’t feel pain during the procedure.
Gentle Therapy
Using microscopic visualization and digital guidance, we carefully remove the infected pulp, disinfect the canal, and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection.
Tooth Restoration
After sealing, we often recommend a custom crown to restore strength and function, ensuring your tooth looks and feels natural.
Aftercare
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up visit to ensure proper healing and long-term success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
No, modern root canal treatment is virtually painless, thanks to advanced anesthesia and minimally invasive techniques. Most patients compare it to getting a simple filling.
How long does the procedure take?
Most root canals take one to two visits, lasting 60-90 minutes per session, depending on complexity.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to normal activities the next day. Mild discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Will I need time off work or school?
You may feel some mild soreness after the procedure, but most patients can resume work or daily activities the following day.
How much does a root canal cost?
Costs vary based on complexity. We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide and offer direct billing and flexible financing to make treatment affordable.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
Many teeth require a custom crown to restore strength and function after treatment, especially for molars and back teeth.
Can a root canal fail?
While rare, reinfection can occur if the tooth is not properly restored or cared for. Regular checkups help ensure long-term success.
What happens if I avoid root canal treatment?
Delaying treatment can lead to severe infection, abscess formation, and eventual tooth loss, requiring more extensive procedures later.
Can I eat normally after a root canal?
Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until your final restoration is placed. Stick to soft foods for the first 24 hours.
Is root canal treatment covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans cover part or all of the cost. Our team will help you understand your benefits and provide direct billing.
