Root Canal Treatments

45 minutes – 1.5 hours

Root canal therapy becomes essential when a tooth is severely infected or decayed. At Spring Smiles, our top priority is ensuring our patients feel at ease about the procedure. Dr. Liu strives to make root canal therapy as relaxing as possible, offering an extensive menu of pain-management options.

​

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS YOU NEED A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

• Spontaneous pain even when not eating or drinking

• Nighttime pain disrupting your sleep

• Worsening toothache with pressure or while eating

• Darkening or discolouration of a tooth

• Recurring swelling of the gums

• Tenderness in the gums

• Extreme sensitivity to cold or heat

​

Ignoring these signs can lead to complications, including increased pain or an abscessed tooth. If you're unsure about your symptoms, schedule a consultation and evaluation with us.

​

For most patients, a root canal treatment can be completed in a single visit. For others root canal treatments may take three or more visits to complete. Our thorough pre-treatment preparation ensures full anaesthesia for the entire procedure. In many cases, after the tooth is repaired, we recommend protecting it with a porcelain crown to prevent fractures.
