Root Canal Therapy in Calgary, AB

Gentle, Effective Relief from Tooth Infection—Open 7 Days a Week

Persistent tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling might indicate a deeper infection that requires immediate care. At ProGrace Dentistry in Northwest Calgary, our team provides precise and compassionate root canal therapy to relieve your discomfort and save your natural tooth. With a calming environment, sedation options, and experienced dentists, we make the process stress-free from diagnosis to restoration.

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a procedure designed to treat infection or inflammation within the pulp (inner tissue) of a tooth. This damage is often caused by deep decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma. During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the space is sealed. To restore strength and function, the tooth is typically covered with a porcelain crown after the root canal is complete.

At Pro Grace Dentistry, we use advanced techniques and technology to ensure your comfort and long-lasting results.

When Is a Root Canal Needed?

Root canal therapy may be necessary if you experience:

Constant tooth pain
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
Swollen, tender gums near a specific tooth
A cracked or fractured tooth
A deep cavity or visible abscess
Discoloration or darkening of a tooth

If untreated, infected pulp can lead to further damage, abscess formation, or even tooth loss. Our goal is to help you preserve your natural tooth structure and avoid extraction whenever possible.

Am I a Candidate for a Root Canal?

You might be a strong candidate for root canal treatment if:

You have a tooth with deep decay or a severe crack
You’re experiencing pain that radiates from one area of your mouth
X-rays reveal infection in the tooth root or surrounding bone
You want to save your natural tooth rather than extract it
You have swelling or pus near a tooth that won’t resolve

At ProGrace Dentistry, we always begin with a thorough evaluation, including digital X-rays and clinical assessment, to determine the most suitable treatment option for your unique case.

Our Root Canal Treatment Process

Compassionate Dentistry Backed by Experience

Step 1: Book a Consultation

We understand that tooth pain can’t wait. That’s why our team is available 7 days a week to help you feel better, fast. During your consultation, one of our experienced dentists will review your symptoms, perform a clinical exam, and take digital X-rays to determine the extent of the infection or decay. If a root canal is the right solution, we’ll explain everything clearly and guide you through the next steps with comfort and clarity in mind.

Step 2: Diagnosis & Treatment Planning

After reviewing your exam and X-rays, we’ll walk you through your diagnosis in simple, easy-to-understand terms. If a root canal is recommended, we’ll explain how the procedure will help save your tooth and eliminate infection. We’ll discuss sedation options for your comfort and schedule the procedure as soon as possible. At ProGrace Dentistry, our team focuses on transparency and patient-centered care ensuring you feel confident, relaxed, and fully informed before treatment begins.

Step 3: Root Canal Procedure

Your comfort is our top priority. We begin by numbing the area with local anesthesia, and sedation is available if you prefer a more relaxed experience. Once you’re comfortable, we access the tooth’s inner chamber to remove the infected pulp. We then carefully clean, disinfect, and shape the root canals. After sterilization, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material that reinforces the tooth structure. This process eliminates pain, removes harmful bacteria, and prepares your tooth for restoration.

Step 4: Final Restoration

Once the root canal is complete, the next step is restoring your tooth’s strength and appearance. We design and place a custom-made porcelain crown that fits precisely over the treated tooth. This crown helps protect the tooth from fractures, reinforces its structure, and blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. The final restoration ensures that your tooth can function properly for years to come while maintaining a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you can feel proud to share.

Step 5: Follow-Up & Continued Care

Healing doesn’t stop after the procedure. We schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your recovery and ensure the crown is functioning as intended. Our team stays in touch to answer any post-treatment questions and provide tips on maintaining your oral health. Whether it’s pain management, hygiene advice, or long-term planning, you can count on ProGrace Dentistry to support you through every stage of your root canal journey even on weekends when you need us most.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Relief from Pain

Root canals eliminate the source of dental pain allowing you to eat, sleep, and speak comfortably again.

Save Your Natural Tooth

Preserve your original tooth instead of needing an extraction or replacement procedure like implants or bridges.

Prevent Infection Spread

Stopping infection at the root prevents further damage to surrounding teeth, bone, and gum tissues.

Durable & Long-Lasting Results

When combined with a crown, root canal-treated teeth can function for many years, often a lifetime with good care.

Natural Appearance

The final crown looks and feels like your natural tooth, maintaining your smile’s appearance and bite alignment.
