Your appointment
What to expect at your root canal assessment visit.
Diagnosis and x-rays
We examine the tooth, review symptoms, and use x-rays when needed to understand the root, nerve space, and surrounding bone.
Clean the canals
If root canal treatment is appropriate, the affected tissue is removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
Seal the tooth
The canal system is filled and sealed to help reduce the risk of reinfection.
Plan the final restoration
A filling or crown is often needed after root canal treatment to protect the tooth for everyday chewing.

Questions patients ask
Root canal treatment near Elora FAQs
A root canal may be part of saving a tooth when the nerve space is affected and the tooth can be restored.
Can Elora patients book root canal treatment?
Yes. Patients searching near Elora can book at Ironwood Dental in Guelph for tooth pain assessment and treatment planning.
Is a root canal the same as removing the tooth?
No. Root canal treatment treats the inside of the tooth so the tooth may be preserved when it is restorable.
Can antibiotics fix an infected tooth?
Antibiotics may help in some situations, but they do not remove the source inside the tooth. A dental diagnosis is needed.
Will the tooth be weaker afterward?
A tooth needing root canal treatment is often already weakened. A filling or crown may be needed to protect it.
