Yonge Eglinton Centre - "YEC Dentistry"
Are you experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity? You may need root canal therapy. Also known as endodontic treatment, a root canal is performed to save a tooth that has been damaged by deep decay, infection, or trauma. If in pain visit us at YEC Dentistry for Root Canal Treatment in Midtown Toronto.
During the procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent future infection. In many cases, root canal therapy allows you to keep your natural tooth and avoid extraction.
Without treatment, the infection can spread beyond the tooth, leading to severe pain, swelling, abscess formation, and additional oral health complications.
After root canal therapy, the treated tooth needs to be restored to protect it and restore its strength, function, and appearance. The type of restoration depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains.
If your root canal is completed by an endodontist, the tooth is typically sealed with a temporary filling before you return to your general dentist for the permanent restoration.
Teeth that have retained most of their natural structure may only require a permanent filling. However, molars and other back teeth often require a dental crown because they absorb the greatest chewing forces. A crown helps protect the tooth from cracking while restoring its natural appearance and function.
If there is not enough healthy tooth structure remaining, your dentist may recommend placing a dental post inside the root canal to provide additional support for the crown.
At YEC Dentistry, we carefully evaluate every tooth after root canal treatment and recommend the most appropriate restoration to provide long-lasting strength, comfort, and durability. Our goal is to restore your smile so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
