Root Canal Therapy
Root Canal Therapy in Vancouver: Save Your Natural Tooth
A root canal treats infection or inflammation in the tooth's pulp, the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. It saves a severely damaged or infected tooth from extraction.
What does a root canal involve at Granville Dental Wellness Group in Vancouver?
Dr. Gianni Pisanu, DMD, performs root canal therapy at Granville Dental Wellness Group in Vancouver using modern rotary instruments and digital X-rays. Most cases are completed in one or two appointments, and the procedure is performed under full local anesthesia for a pain-free experience.
Personalized Diagnosis
We begin with a detailed examination and digital X-rays to understand the exact condition of your tooth. This allows us to tailor the procedure precisely to the level of infection and tooth structure.

Whether you need a single-visit root canal, multi-visit therapy, or crown placement, we create a treatment plan that fits your needs, comfort level, and schedule.

Advanced Technology for Better Results

How It Works
Your Visit in 4 Simple Steps
From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, every step is smooth, clear, and comfortable — so you always know what to expect.
Consultation & Digital X-Ray
Your visit begins with a gentle examination and a digital X-ray to identify the source of pain and confirm if a root canal is needed. We walk you through the findings clearly.
Pain-Free Treatment Begins
Local anaesthesia is applied to keep you completely comfortable. Once the area is numb, we carefully remove the infection and clean the inside of the tooth.
Sealing & Protection
After cleaning, the tooth is filled with a safe material to seal it from future infection. A temporary or permanent filling is placed depending on your case.
Restore with a Crown
To fully protect and strengthen your treated tooth, a dental crown is recommended. This final step restores natural function and appearance.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your visit.
Does Granville Dental Wellness Group perform root canals in Vancouver?
Yes. Granville Dental Wellness Group offers root canal therapy in Vancouver, performed by Dr. Gianni Pisanu, DMD. Using modern rotary instruments and digital X-rays, Dr. Pisanu removes infected pulp, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth under full local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
How long does a root canal take at Granville Dental Wellness Group in Vancouver?
Most root canals at Granville Dental Wellness Group are completed in one or two appointments of 60 to 90 minutes each. Simple, single-rooted teeth are often treatable in a single visit. Multi-rooted teeth or severely infected cases may require a second visit to complete cleaning and final sealing.
Is a root canal painful at Granville Dental Wellness Group in Vancouver?
Root canal therapy at Granville Dental Wellness Group is performed under full local anesthesia. Most patients report feeling nothing during the procedure. Any mild soreness in the days after treatment typically resolves within 72 hours and responds well to over-the-counter pain relief. Modern root canal therapy is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests.
How does Dr. Pisanu at Granville Dental diagnose whether a root canal is needed in Vancouver?
Dr. Gianni Pisanu, DMD, diagnoses root canal need using a combination of clinical examination, digital X-rays, and a review of your symptoms. Signs such as persistent pain, prolonged temperature sensitivity, tooth darkening, gum swelling, or a pimple on the gum are all evaluated before confirming treatment is necessary.
Will my tooth need a crown after a root canal at Granville Dental Wellness Group?
In most cases, yes. Dr. Gianni Pisanu, DMD, recommends a dental crown after root canal therapy because the treated tooth becomes more brittle and vulnerable to fracture over time. A crown restores full chewing strength and protects the tooth for 10 or more years. Crown placement is coordinated as part of your overall treatment plan.
Does Granville Dental Wellness Group bill insurance for root canals in Vancouver?
Yes. Granville Dental Wellness Group directly bills all major Canadian insurance providers for root canal therapy, including Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, and the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). Root canals are typically covered as a major restorative procedure. Our team obtains a pre-authorization estimate from your insurer when possible.
