EXCELLENT Based on 35 reviews John Goor2025-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Staff is always friendly and welcoming ! Dr. Gibbs does excellent work. Des Eldon2024-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a new patient, Dr. Gibbs and his staff warmly welcomed me and made me feel at home. They were very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and courteous, They showed genuine care for my dental health and wellbeing. As a senior on a fixed income without any dental benefits for 4 1/2 years, until I enrolled in the Canadian Dental Care Plan, I wasn't sure what level of service I would receive. I was pleasantly surprised with how well I was taken care of by Dr. Gibbs and his staff. Dr. Gibbs worked with the skill and long experience of a top tier dentist/dental surgeon to exact a number of broken teeth and replace 7 fillings. He did an amazing job. Now my teeth and gums feel so much healthier because of his great efforts and dedication in improving my dental health. He is without a doubt the best dentist I have experienced in my lifetime and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending his services to others looking for an excellent dentist. Des Eldon Kaya Cetinsu2024-06-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was the first time for me to visit. I was little bit anxious of the first treatment of a tooth filling. They checked my X-Ray and Dr. Daniel said there was a risk that my cavity was very close to the nerve of my tooth, which might have resulted in a root canal operation. Overall, Dr. Daniel professionally managed the progress and then restored my tooth without any problem. He saved my tooth. Their hospitality is very nice. They kept talking to me during the operation to give me peace of mind for each time. I definitely recommend Dr. Daniel. Drew Yoshida2024-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn't be more grateful for Dr.Gibbs, Tammy & the team at the office. After a 6+ year absence from the dentist, I was treated so well and every little bit of detail was explained to me. I left knowing exactly what was going on inside my mouth and they helped to ensure that I could take proper care of my teeth going forward to avoid any future decay of my gums and continue to protect them in the best way possible. Dr.Gibbs runs a business that truly takes what is in your best interest first. They do operate in an old fashioned method with pen & paper, but don't let that fool you. Thanks again everyone ! Cheers ! Costa Zamanis2024-02-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been coming to Dr. Gibbs for at least a decade now and his work is immaculate, everyone is always friendly and helpful and they always feel like family! Had my braces done and wisdom teeth out a week ago and recovery is amazing! Dr.Gibbs puts so much care into his patients making sure they are feeling okay and not feeling any pain during procedure and gives amazing preventative measures to decrease pain while recovering! 100% Recommend best dentistry I’ve been to C Computers Inc.2024-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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.
