Root Canal Treatment Cost in Orchard
$300 – $1,200
Front teeth are simpler and faster ($300–$600). Molars have 2–3 roots and cost $800–$1,200.
Severe infections or previous failed treatment (retreatment) require more time and advanced imaging, pushing costs higher.
Specialist endodontists charge more than general dentists but reduce treatment time and failure rates.
Root canal alone is $300–$1,200; a protective crown adds $500–$800. Most teeth need a crown post-RCT.
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| Single-visit root canal at general practice | $300–$600 |
| Multi-visit specialist treatment (Twin City or Smileworks) | $600–$1,200 |
| Tooth extraction and replacement | $400–$1,500+ (extraction + implant/bridge) |

Root Canal Treatment: Step-by-Step Procedure
- 1
Diagnosis and local anaesthetic
10–15 minutesDentist takes X-rays to confirm infection inside the tooth and marks the treatment area. Local anaesthetic is applied so you feel no pain during the procedure — only pressure and vibration.
- 2
Tooth isolation and access
10–15 minutesA rubber dam isolates the tooth to keep it dry and saliva-free. An access hole is carefully drilled through the crown to reach the infected pulp chamber inside.
- 3
Pulp removal and cleaning
30–45 minutes (longer for molars with 2–3 roots)Using fine files, the dentist removes the infected pulp tissue and nerves. The inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and shaped to receive medication and filling material.
- 4
Medication and temporary filling
5–10 minutesAn anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial medication is placed inside the tooth. A temporary filling seals the access hole. You go home to let the tooth settle; most pain relief is felt within 24–48 hours.
- 5
Permanent filling and crown
45–60 minutes (across one or two visits)At the follow-up visit, the temporary filling is removed, and the root canal is permanently filled with gutta-percha (rubber-like material). A protective crown is then placed to prevent re-infection and restore full chewing function.
Are You a Candidate for Root Canal Treatment?
Good candidates
- You have severe, throbbing pain in a single tooth that worsens when chewing or touching it
- Your dentist has identified deep decay, a large cavity, or a crack that has reached the pulp
- You've experienced prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the trigger is removed
- You have visible swelling or a pimple-like bump on your gum above a painful tooth
May need extra assessment
- You have a previously failed root canal (retreatment requires specialist expertise and advanced imaging)
- You are pregnant; treatment is usually delayed to the second trimester unless infection poses a serious risk
- You have a severely compromised immune system or are on immunosuppressant medications; infection control becomes critical
