A root canal saves a tooth with infected or damaged pulp, eliminating pain and preserving your natural tooth. At St. Lawrence Dentistry in Mississauga, we use operating microscopes to perform root canals with precision and excellence. Microscope-assisted treatment ensures we remove all infection and provide the best possible outcome.
Why You Need a Root Canal
When a tooth’s pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to decay or injury, a root canal is necessary to save the tooth. Without treatment, infection spreads and the tooth must be extracted.

FAQS
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Signs include severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, tooth discoloration, and swelling or tenderness in nearby gums.
Is a root canal painful?
No. We numb your tooth completely. The procedure relieves pain rather than causes it.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals take 60 to 90 minutes, depending on tooth complexity.
Will I need a crown after my root canal?
Yes. A root canal-treated tooth becomes brittle and needs a crown for protection and longevity.
What's the success rate of root canal therapy?
Root canal success rates exceed 90 percent when performed properly and followed by crown placement.
Can a root canal be redone if it fails?
Yes. We can retreat failed root canals. Sometimes retreatment is successful.
How much does a root canal cost?
Cost depends on tooth location and complexity. Contact us for a specific estimate.
What happens if I delay root canal treatment?
Delaying treatment allows infection to spread. Pain worsens and extraction may become necessary.
