Before any treatment is commenced, a consultation is necessary. The consultation involves meeting with you to discuss the cause of your problem, available treatment options, the likelihood of success, the number of visits required, and the fees involved. We can offer a consultation and treatment on the same day if you desire. 

The consultation fee (2D and 3D radiographs (CBCT) taken on the day) is $400. The cost of the consultation is $400 (even if we do not take new radiographs and use your scans).  We usually take new scans because our Carestream 9600 CBCT machine is a high-definition scanner and allows us to see far more detail than other dental and radiology practice CBCT machines. Details matter with root canal treatment. 

The treatment costs usually include the consultation fee. 

General fees for normal endodontic treatment:

Front tooth: $3300

Premolar tooth: $3400

Molar tooth: $3500

General fees for normal endodontic retreatment:

Front tooth: $3300-$3600

Premolar tooth: $3600

Back tooth: $3600-$3800

General fees for apical surgery

Apical surgery: $3400

Treatment costs can vary from the above if more appointments are necessary than usual. Treatment often requires 2-3 visits but sometimes will be performed in 1 long visit. Treatment costs will be spread out over the number of appointments based on what was performed at the appointment. 

It is our policy that your endodontic care is paid for at the time of treatment. HICAPS is available at our office if you are affiliated with a private health fund. Your health fund determines the amount of rebate you receive.  

After the root canal treatment, you will usually be required to have a new final restoration or crown placed to stop the tooth from developing severe cracks while eating hard foods. Cracking risk tooth loss. The final restoration or crown is performed by your general dentist and is an extra cost to the endodontic treatment. Please discuss this cost with your general dentist.
