Root Canal Therapy

Nothing looks feels or functions like your natural tooth. Don’t get a tooth pulled just because you think its easier or more cost-effective. Missing teeth can cause other teeth to shift, affect your ability to properly chew and ruin your smile. Tooth extraction often is more painful than the infection itself and replacing an extracted tooth with an artificial one requires additional dental visits. It is best to have your tooth looked at by our one of our Lindsay dentists to evaluate what is best for you. Book a Consultation today!

Root Canal Therapy is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. When our Lindsay dentists perform a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. A filling or a dental crown is usually recommended to restore the treated tooth.

Modern endodontics offers advancements in technologies, procedures and materials, giving you many treatment options to save your natural teeth. It’s important to understand your choices and how they’ll impact both your tooth and your future dental health. It’s always best to retain your natural teeth whenever possible and endodontic treatment should be your first choice for the best health and cosmetic results. At Horizon Family Dentistry, we believe in saving teeth. Our Lindsay dentist can evaluate your condition and provide the best treatment plan to help you save your teeth for a lifetime.
