Why patients choose us for endodontics
The root canal you were dreading, done properly
Root canals earned their reputation decades ago, before rotary instruments, digital imaging and modern anaesthetics. Here is what the treatment actually looks like today.
Usually one visit
Rotary endodontic instruments shape the canals in a fraction of the old hand-file time. 94% of our cases are completed in a single 90-minute appointment.
Keeps your own tooth
Nothing performs like a natural tooth. A root-treated tooth protected with a crown routinely lasts decades — and costs far less than an implant.
One fixed price
$649 for a front tooth, $849 for a molar, quoted in writing before we start. No per-canal surcharges appearing at the end.
What happens on the day
Your root canal, step by step
No surprises. Here is exactly what your appointment involves, from the moment you sit down to the moment you leave.
1. Digital diagnosis
Included in your consultationA low-dose digital X-ray shows us the shape of the roots and how far the infection has spread, so there are no surprises once we begin.
Book an assessment2. Complete numbing
Sedation availableNumbing gel first, then a modern long-acting anaesthetic. We do not start until you confirm the tooth is completely numb. Sedation is available if you are anxious.
Read about sedation3. Cleaning the canals
The main part, about 45 minThe infected pulp is removed and each canal is cleaned, disinfected and shaped with rotary instruments under a protective rubber dam.
What does it feel like?4. Sealing the tooth
Same appointmentThe cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed, which stops bacteria getting back in and re-infecting the tooth.
Book your treatment5. Crown protection
From $795 when neededBack teeth take heavy chewing forces, so we usually recommend a crown afterwards. It protects the tooth and is colour-matched to sit invisibly in your smile.

What patients say about their root canal
Sample testimonials shown for layout purposes. Replace with your own verified patient reviews before running live traffic.
I had put this off for two years because I was terrified. It took ninety minutes, I felt nothing, and I drove myself back to work afterwards. Two years of dread for that.
Another practice quoted me for an extraction and an implant. These guys looked at the X-ray and said the tooth was perfectly savable. Saved me thousands.
The price I was quoted on the phone was the price I paid. They walked me through the X-ray, explained the alternatives honestly, and never once pushed the expensive option.

Common questions
Root canal FAQs
The questions patients ask us most often before booking.
For the vast majority of patients, no. The tooth is completely numbed first and we do not begin until you confirm it. Because the procedure removes the inflamed nerve, most people report that the treatment is far more comfortable than the toothache that led them to book it. Mild tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal and responds well to ordinary painkillers.
A typical appointment runs about 90 minutes. Front teeth have a single canal and are often quicker; molars have three or four canals and take longer. Around 94% of our cases are completed in one visit, though a heavily infected tooth may need a second appointment to make sure it is fully settled before sealing.
Our fixed fee is $649 for a front tooth and $849 for a molar, which covers diagnosis, the treatment itself and your follow-up review. A protective crown, where recommended, starts at $795. Everything is quoted in writing before treatment begins and 0% payment plans are available over 6 to 24 months.
Extraction is quicker and cheaper on the day, but it leaves a gap that affects chewing and lets neighbouring teeth drift. Replacing the tooth with an implant typically costs three to four times more than saving it. Where a tooth is restorable, keeping your own is almost always the better long-term decision — and we will tell you honestly when it is not.
A well-treated tooth protected by a crown routinely lasts decades, and many last a lifetime. The two biggest factors are placing a crown on back teeth so the tooth does not fracture under chewing forces, and normal daily brushing and flossing. We include a two-year guarantee on re-treatment.
Yes, if you have had local anaesthetic only. Your lip and tongue will be numb for two to three hours, so avoid hot drinks and take care not to bite your cheek. If you choose sedation you will need someone to drive you home and you should take the rest of the day off.
