Root Canal Treatments in Burnaby
At Burnaby Gentle Dental, we understand that tooth pain can be overwhelming — but losing a tooth isn’t the only option.
Our gentle root canal treatments are designed to remove infection, relieve pain, and save your natural tooth while keeping you completely comfortable throughout the process.
What It Is & How It Works
A root canal treatment removes infected or damaged tissue (the pulp) from inside the tooth.
This treatment eliminates infection while preserving the tooth’s structure.
Once the canal is cleaned and disinfected, it’s filled with a special material and sealed, often followed by a crown for added strength and protection.
