The amazing Dr. Gibbs treated both of my teens for orthodonture and it was a great experience! I consulted several orthodontists before I met Dr. Gibbs and decided he was the one. He practises a type of ortho that is based on expansion of the mouth and was able to create beautiful smiles without extracting a single tooth! Lots of passion, education and caring at this office. I highly recommend both Dr. Gibbs and his loveable office staff. All were an absolute pleasure to deal with at all times.

How Our Root Canal Procedure Works: Step by Step
At Lawrence Dental Centre, we make root canal treatment simple, comfortable, and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
- Comprehensive Examination and Digital X-Rays
We begin with a detailed exam and advanced X-rays to locate the infected area and assess the condition of your tooth.
- Gentle Local Anesthesia
Your comfort is our priority. We numb the area fully using modern, painless anesthesia techniques to ensure you feel nothing during the procedure.
- Cleaning the Infected Pulp
We carefully access the inside of the tooth and remove the inflamed or infected pulp using precision rotary tools designed for efficiency and accuracy.
- Shaping and Disinfection
Once the canals are cleaned, they’re shaped and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria and reduce the risk of reinfection.
- Filling the Root Canals
We seal the canals with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha to protect the tooth from future infection.
- Restoration of the Tooth
In most cases, a dental crown is placed afterward to restore strength, shape, and function. This helps protect the treated tooth long-term.
- Aftercare and Follow-Up
Our team provides clear aftercare instructions and schedules a follow-up if needed to ensure proper healing and comfort.
This step-by-step approach helps preserve your natural tooth while eliminating pain and infection, giving you long-term relief and peace of mind.

Root Canal Treatment FAQs
Signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, gum swelling, a small pimple near the tooth, or tooth darkening. These symptoms often indicate infection inside the tooth that requires treatment.
No. With local anesthesia and modern techniques, root canals are usually painless. Most patients say the procedure feels similar to getting a filling and provides relief from the pain they were experiencing.
Most root canals are completed in one visit, but complex cases may need two. Each appointment typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes, depending on how many canals need treatment.
Yes. Most patients feel well enough to return to work the same day. Mild soreness may occur, but it is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and does not interfere with daily activities.
In most cases, especially for back teeth, a crown is recommended after a root canal. It protects the treated tooth, restores strength, and prevents cracks or fractures over time.
