Trust Onyx Dentistry for root canal therapy that relieves pain, preserves your natural tooth, and restores healthy function with ease.
Root canal therapy is a restorative procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected or severely inflamed inside the root. When bacteria reach the inner pulp—through deep decay, fractures, or trauma—it can cause pain, sensitivity, and swelling. A root canal removes the infected tissue, disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent future infection.
At Onyx Dentistry in Vaughan, we use modern techniques and gentle care to make root canal treatment comfortable and highly effective. The goal is to relieve pain, preserve your natural tooth, and restore healthy function—all while preventing the need for extraction.
Root Canal Therapy (RCT), also known as endodontic treatment, is a safe and highly effective procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed, involving the careful removal of the inflamed or infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth’s root canal), followed by cleaning, disinfecting, filling, and sealing the space to eliminate pain, prevent the spread of infection, and preserve the natural tooth structure, making extraction the absolute last resort.
Root canal therapy is a safe, predictable way to save your natural tooth and eliminate discomfort. At Onyx Dentistry, we focus on precision, comfort, and long-term results.
Root canal treatment removes the inflamed or infected pulp, eliminating the source of tooth pain and discomfort.
Instead of extracting the tooth, a root canal preserves your natural structure, helping maintain your bite and smile.
Cleaning and sealing the root system stops bacteria from progressing into surrounding tissues or bone.
At Onyx Dentistry, our dentists provide gentle, precise root canal therapy focused on relieving pain and protecting your natural tooth. We take time to clearly explain your diagnosis, walk you through each step, and ensure you feel comfortable from start to finish. With modern technology, careful technique, and a calm, patient-centered approach, our team restores your tooth’s health while helping you feel confident and at ease throughout your visit.
The cost of root canal therapy varies depending on the tooth being treated (front teeth, premolars, and molars have different levels of complexity), the extent of the infection, and whether additional treatments—such as a dental crown—are recommended afterward. Because every case is different, an accurate estimate is provided after a full examination.
At Onyx Dentistry in Vaughan, we offer transparent pricing and review all options before beginning treatment. We accept insurance and CDCP where applicable, and provide direct billing to keep your experience simple, clear, and stress-free.
1.
Your dentist begins with digital X-rays and a thorough exam to identify the source of the infection. Once confirmed, the tooth is numbed completely to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience throughout the procedure.
2.
A small opening is made to access the infected pulp. The damaged tissue is removed, and the canals are carefully cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent reinfection.
3.
The cleaned canals are sealed with a biocompatible material, and the tooth is restored with a filling or a crown, depending on its strength. This final step protects the tooth and returns it to full function.
Patients Experiencing Persistent Tooth Pain
Ongoing pain—especially when chewing or applying pressure—often indicates infection inside the tooth.
Those With Swelling, Abscesses, or Gum Tenderness
Gum swelling or a pimple-like bump near the tooth suggests an underlying infection that requires root canal treatment.
Individuals With Sensitivity to Hot or Cold
Lingering sensitivity after temperature changes can be a sign of pulp inflammation or infection.
Patients With Deep Decay or Cracked Teeth
Teeth compromised by severe decay or cracks may expose the pulp, making root canal therapy necessary to save the tooth.
