Root Canal Treatment in Saint-Léonard
A root canal removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, stopping the pain and saving the tooth instead of extracting it. It has a reputation for being painful, but with modern anesthesia, most patients say it feels about the same as getting a filling. At OpusDent, we know a lot of people put off this treatment out of fear. We move at your pace and keep you comfortable from the first numbing shot on.

What to expect
Numbing and access
We numb the area thoroughly, then create a small opening to reach the infected tissue inside the tooth.
Cleaning the canal
The infected tissue is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and shaped.
Sealing and restoring
The tooth is sealed, and in most cases topped with a crown to protect it going forward.
Dreading it? You are not alone
Root canals have an unfair reputation, and we understand why people put them off. We make sure you are properly numbed before we start and check in with you throughout the procedure. If your anxiety runs deeper than that, we also offer dental sedation: just ask.
