At Fine Dentistry in Sidney, BC, our dental team provides gentle and effective root canal therapy to clean, disinfect, and permanently seal infected teeth—relieving pain and helping preserve your natural smile.
A root canal is a restorative dental treatment used to remove infection from the inner part of a tooth—called the pulp—when it becomes inflamed or damaged due to decay, trauma, or deep cavities.
Common symptoms of pulp damage include persistent tooth pain, swelling, gum tenderness, and sensitivity to hot or cold. If left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to abscesses, tooth loss, or more serious oral health issues.
At Fine Dentistry in Sidney, BC, our dentists perform root canal therapy to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and preserve your natural tooth whenever possible. By removing the infected tissue, thoroughly cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth, we can restore function and comfort—often preventing the need for extraction.
At Fine Dentistry in Sidney, BC, root canal treatment is typically completed in two appointments to ensure thorough care and lasting results.
First Appointment
Your dentist will begin by creating a small access point in the top of the affected tooth. Using specialized instruments, they will locate and clean the root canals, removing the infected or dead (necrotic) pulp tissue. Once the area is disinfected, a temporary filling is placed to seal the tooth. If needed, antibiotics may be prescribed to help clear any lingering infection.
Second Appointment
At your follow-up visit, the dentist reopens the tooth to ensure the canals are fully clean and free of bacteria. The empty canals are then filled with a biocompatible material to replace the removed pulp and support the tooth’s structure. A permanent filling is placed to restore and seal the tooth. In some cases, a dental crown may be recommended for added strength and protection.
This procedure not only relieves pain and eliminates infection—it also helps save your natural tooth and restore full function to your smile.
At Fine Dentistry, we strive to make the payment process as simple and stress-free as possible. Our goal is to ensure that receiving quality dental care in Sidney, BC is both convenient and accessible.
