Root Canal Treatment in Orangeville
When the inner part of a tooth gets swollen or infected so badly that it can’t be fixed, your dentist might recommend a root canal procedure to help you recover. This treatment saves a lot of teeth every year by dealing with and preventing infections, and ultimately making the tooth healthy again.
At Viva Dental, we have advanced technology that ensures accurate diagnosis and careful execution of root canal therapy, which leads to very satisfying results for our patients. If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or have been advised to get a root canal, please contact our office to set up an evaluation. Our team is here to provide high-quality dental solutions and support.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is like a middle ground between getting a dental filling or crown and having your tooth pulled out. When decay or damage is too much for a regular filling, or when a tooth gets infected, getting a root canal is usually the best choice. But if you put off this treatment, your dentist might recommend removing the tooth instead.
Other benefits include:
- Eradicates infection
- Alleviates discomfort and swelling
- Reinstates ideal oral well-being
- Maintains proper tooth alignment by averting tooth loss
- Enhances appearance and regular tooth functions following ultimate restoration
- Safeguards the well-being of adjacent teeth and nearby gums
- Averts severe health complications

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a root canal (root canal treatment)?
A root canal removes infected or inflamed nerve tissue from inside the tooth, disinfects the canals, and seals them to stop the infection—so you can keep your natural tooth.How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common signs include lingering sensitivity to hot/cold, pain when biting, swelling or a pimple-like bump on the gums, deep decay, or a cracked tooth. Sometimes there are no symptoms and it’s found on X-rays.Does a root canal hurt?
Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling because the tooth is numbed. The goal is to relieve pain from infection—not create more.How long does a root canal take?
Many root canals take 60–90 minutes, but complex teeth (like molars) may take longer or require more than one visit depending on infection level and anatomy.How long does it take to recover after a root canal?
You may feel mild tenderness for a few days, especially when biting. Most people return to normal activities the same day or next day.Do I always need a crown after a root canal?
Often, yes—especially for back teeth (molars). A crown after root canal helps protect the tooth from cracking because treated teeth can become more brittle over time.What’s the difference between a root canal and an extraction?
A root canal saves the tooth; an extraction removes it. Saving your natural tooth usually helps preserve your bite and avoids replacement options like implants/bridges/dentures.How much does a root canal cost in Canada?
Cost varies by tooth type (front tooth vs molar), complexity, and whether treatment is done by a general dentist or an endodontist (root canal specialist). An exam and X-rays are the best way to get a precise estimate.Is root canal treatment covered by dental insurance in Canada?
Many plans cover root canals under restorative/endodontic services, but coverage depends on your plan’s annual maximums, co-insurance, and frequency rules.What happens if I delay a root canal?
Infection can spread, pain can worsen, swelling can develop, and the tooth may become non-restorable—leading to extraction. Early treatment is usually simpler, faster, and more predictable.
