Experiencing tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity? You may need a root canal, a treatment designed to save your natural tooth and eliminate infection. At Dental Arts, we offer precise, efficient root canal therapy in Toronto using advanced techniques and modern tools to make your treatment as comfortable and effective as possible.
Our clinic proudly serves Bedford Park, Lawrence Park, North Toronto, Forest Hill, Allenby, Lytton Park, and the Downtown Toronto Core, including South Etobicoke.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treats the internal infection of a tooth by removing the damaged pulp, disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection. This procedure is the last line of defense to avoid extraction and maintain the natural function and structure of your smile.
Root Canal Services Offered at Dental Arts
We perform a full range of root canal procedures, including:
- Anterior (front tooth) root canals — more delicate and esthetic-focused
- Premolar root canals — involving two or more canals
- Molar root canals — complex and multi-rooted cases
- Root canal with crown placement — for structural integrity and protection post-treatment
Technology That Enhances Precision & Comfort
At Dental Arts, we combine clinical skill with the latest innovations:
- Digital X-rays for detailed canal mapping
- Apex locators to determine canal length accurately
- Rotary endodontic instruments for faster and more consistent cleaning
These tools allow us to complete most root canals in a single visit, with minimal discomfort and maximum precision.
Root Canal Materials Used
We use trusted, biocompatible materials, including:
- Gutta-percha for canal filling
- Bioceramic or resin-based sealers to ensure a tight, infection-proof seal
- Temporary filling materials, when needed
- Local anesthetics to guarantee a pain-free experience
- Antibiotics or medicated pastes, if infection control is required before the procedure
Cost of Root Canal Treatment in Toronto
Root canal therapy costs vary based on tooth type:
- Molar root canal: typically $800–$1,200
- Anterior and premolar treatments may cost less
We’ll confirm the exact fee at your consultation and assist with insurance claims.
How Many Appointments Are Needed?
Most root canal procedures are completed in one visit. Complex cases may require a follow-up for crown placement or further disinfection, but we aim to minimize disruptions to your schedule.
What to Expect During Your Root Canal Appointment
Your treatment typically includes:
- Diagnosis and consultation
- Local anesthesia for a pain-free experience
- Removal of infected or damaged pulp
- Canal cleaning, shaping, and irrigation
- Filling and sealing
- Post-op care instructions
Afterward, we’ll recommend placing a crown to protect the treated tooth long-term.
How Long Do Root Canal Teeth Last?
With proper care, your root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime, especially when followed by a professionally placed dental crown and consistent oral hygiene.
