Root Canal Therapy Near You
Endodontic (root canal) therapy can save an infected or damaged tooth. It entails drilling into the centre of the tooth to remove the pulp, a fleshy mass that contains nerves and blood vessels. If a pulp is injured and is not removed, it can lead to immense sensitivity, pain, and even tooth extraction.
The team at Dentistry on Markham is ready to help you restore your smile. Schedule a meeting with one of our dentists near you, Dr. Harry or Dr. Connor, to find out more about this treatment option.

Acquiring a Root Canal at Our Practice
A one-on-one consultation is the first step of this procedure. One of our dentists in Markham, ON, will carefully inspect your teeth visually and with x-rays to determine the best way to repair them.
Local anesthesia is administered the numb the tooth and the surrounding area. You won’t be able to feel anything the dentist is doing. A drill creates an opening in the top of the tooth. This allows us to access the chamber where the pulp resides. We will employ techniques to ensure the pulp is removed gently. The chamber is cleaned to prevent further infection and then shaped. Gutta-percha is a biocompatible material that’s used to fill in the space.
A temporary restoration, usually a dental crown, is fitted over the treated tooth to protect it while you wait for a permanent one. When the permanent crown is placed, we will make sure that the size and colour meet your preferences before you leave.
If you require additional care to remain comfortable during your appointment, don’t hesitate to speak up.
