What Affects the Cost of Root Canal Treatment?
The root canal treatment cost in Melbourne can vary depending on several factors, including:
- The number of root canals in the tooth
- Complexity of the procedure (e.g., curved or hard-to-access canals)
- Type of tooth (front teeth, premolars, or molars)
On average, the cost ranges from $1,000 to $1,700. A precise quote will be provided during your initial consultation after a thorough examination.
- Tooth decay reaching to the nerve of the tooth
- Trauma to the tooth
- Broken tooth/fillings
- Extremely worn down teeth
- A tooth has had an extensive dental work
Root canal treatment is usually broken into 2-3 stages to allow some medication to be placed inside the tooth to work in between the visits.
During the initial consultation an x-ray will be taken to diagnose and plan the treatment.
Usually this will be followed by an emergency treatment to remove the nerve from the tooth to relieve pain/infection.
