What Affects the Cost of Root Canal Therapy?

Several variables influence the final cost of root canal treatment:

  • Tooth location: Molars have more roots and are more complex to treat than front teeth.
  • Severity of infection: Abscessed teeth may require additional steps or medications.
  • Need for re-treatment: If the tooth has had a previous root canal, it may be more complicated and costly.
  • Anesthesia or sedation: Local anesthesia is included in the base price, but sedation (oral conscious sedation or nitrous oxide) adds to the cost.
  • Type of provider: Endodontists (root canal specialists) may charge more than general dentists.
  • Advanced Diagnostic imaging: CBCT scans may be needed to plan the procedure accurately.

Is Root Canal Treatment Covered by Insurance?

Most dental insurance plans in Ontario do provide partial coverage for root canal treatment, especially when the procedure is considered medically necessary.

If you’re eligible for the Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP), it can cover a portion of the cost of root canal therapy, depending on your age, income, and treatment requirements.

Always check your specific policy or the CDCP website for the most accurate coverage details.
