What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating issues inside the tooth, particularly within the pulp and root canals. When the nerve or pulp tissue becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or deep restorations, a root canal is often the best way to save the tooth and prevent further complications.
Endodontic therapy is one of the most common and successful dental procedures—and at BLOK Dental Studio, we make it stress-free from start to finish.
Endodontics is often part of a broader restorative dentistry plan and may be combined with treatments like dental crowns for long-term strength and function.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, it's time to schedule an evaluation:
- Constant or severe toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold (lingering)
- Swollen or tender gums
- A small bump or pimple on the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Pain when biting or chewing
Not all infections are painful, so we recommend regular dental checkups and cleanings to catch internal issues early.
Root Canal Therapy in Saskatoon – What to Expect
At BLOK Dental Studio, root canal treatment is straightforward, efficient, and designed for your comfort.
1. Diagnosis & Imaging
We begin with a full clinical evaluation and digital X-rays to assess the tooth's condition. We’ll determine whether root canal therapy or an alternative, like extraction, is the best solution.
2. Anesthesia & Comfort
Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is pain-free. For nervous patients, we offer sedation options to help you stay relaxed.
3. Cleaning & Shaping
The infected or damaged pulp tissue is removed, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
4. Sealing the Canal
We fill and seal the canal space with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection.
5. Final Restoration
A temporary filling is placed, and in most cases, we recommend a dental crown to strengthen and protect the treated tooth long-term.

Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry
Endodontic treatment often plays a key role in preserving natural teeth and supporting other dental work. After root canal therapy, we typically recommend a crown to prevent fractures—especially on back molars that handle more force from chewing.
You may also benefit from additional services like:
- Dental fillings for minor restoration
- Dental implants if extraction is needed
- Dental appliances for protection against grinding or clenching
FAQs About Root Canals & Endodontic Treatment
Are root canals painful?
No. Thanks to modern anesthetics and techniques, root canals are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals are completed in one visit, though complex cases may require a second appointment.
Is a crown necessary after a root canal?
In most cases, yes. A crown protects the weakened tooth from cracking or reinfection.
What if I delay treatment?
Delaying treatment may lead to tooth loss, abscess formation, and more costly procedures later. If you're unsure, visit us for an emergency exam.
Does insurance cover root canals?
Yes, most dental insurance plans cover a portion of root canal therapy. Visit our patient info page for more on insurance and financing options.
