Root Canal Treatments in Kitchener
Root canals are often the solution to save a severely damaged or infected tooth, relieving pain and preventing further damage. At Deer Ridge Dental, we specialize in performing gentle, effective root canal treatments to restore your oral health and comfort.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the inner part of a tooth, called the pulp. When the pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, injury, or repeated dental work, it can cause severe pain and lead to abscesses if left untreated. During the procedure, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, then fills and seals it to prevent future problems. Finally, the tooth is usually restored with a crown to maintain strength and function.
The Benefits of Root Canals Treatment
Relieves Pain and Discomfort
A root canal addresses the source of tooth pain caused by infection or inflammation, providing long-term relief and allowing you to return to your normal routine without discomfort.
Saves Your Natural Tooth
By removing the infection and sealing the tooth, a root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction and preserving your smile.
Prevents Further Damage
Replace missing teeth with fixed restorations anchored to adjacent teeth or implants.
Restore your bite, speech, and smile while preventing tooth shifting.
Maintains Normal Function
After a root canal, your tooth will continue to function just like any other healthy tooth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with ease without worrying about further damage or infection.

What is a root canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat a tooth that has become infected or damaged deep inside. The treatment involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further issues.
Why would I need a root canal?
You may need a root canal if you have an infected tooth, deep decay, or damage that has reached the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). Symptoms may include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around the affected tooth.
Is a root canal painful?
Contrary to common misconceptions, a root canal is not painful. In fact, it is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure that the area is numbed, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Any discomfort you may feel afterward can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How long does a root canal take?
The length of a root canal procedure can vary depending on the tooth and the complexity of the infection. Generally, it takes between 60 to 90 minutes. More complex cases may require additional time, but our dentists will ensure you’re comfortable throughout the process.
How much does a root canal cost in Kitchener?
The cost of a root canal depends on several factors, such as the tooth being treated and the complexity of the procedure. During your consultation, we will discuss the cost and any options available to you.
