At Northern Hills Dental, we understand that the term "root canal" can bring a bit of anxiety. However, our skilled team of dentists, including Dr. Yana Farage and her colleagues, are experts at making the root canal procedure as smooth and painless as possible. Root canal therapy is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The procedure involves removing the nerve and pulp, then cleaning and sealing the inside of the tooth.
Our team of dentists at Northern Hills Dental have specialized knowledge in performing root canal treatments, ensuring that you're in safe hands. Our dentists stay updated with the latest advancements in dental technology and techniques to provide you with the best care possible.
Understanding the cost of root canal treatment is important. At Northern Hills Dental, we follow the current Alberta Dental Fee Guide for pricing, providing transparency and affordability. Our administrative team can assist with navigating dental insurance and finances to ensure you receive the care you need without financial stress.
Opting for a root canal treatment can save your natural tooth, prevent further decay, and relieve pain. It also stops the infection from spreading, leading to better overall oral health. Our goal is to make sure you can smile confidently, and root canal therapy is a crucial service in achieving that.
Some signs indicating you might need a root canal include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold, tooth discoloration, and swelling in the gums. Should you experience any of these symptoms, we encourage you to visit Northern Hills Dental promptly.
Recovery after a root canal is typically swift. You might experience some sensitivity or discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
While root canal therapy is safe and effective, as with any medical procedure, there are risks involved. These may include infection or tooth fracture. Our experienced dentists take every precaution to minimize any risks, ensuring a successful outcome.
Preparing for your root canal at Northern Hills Dental involves a few simple steps. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco before your appointment and continuing regular oral hygiene practices are recommended. If you have any questions or concerns, our team is here to provide guidance and support.
While root canal therapy is often the best option for saving a tooth, alternatives include tooth extraction followed by a dental implant or bridge. Our dentists will discuss all available options with you to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
