I’ve been having persistent pain in one of my back teeth and my regular dentist mentioned I might need a root canal. Could you tell me how much a root canal treatment would cost at Ashford Dental Centre Thomson or your other Ashford clinics? I’d like to understand the price range and what’s included (like consultation, X‑rays and whether a crown is needed). Also please let me know if there are any subsidies or payment plans available.
If you’re experiencing ongoing pain in a back tooth, a root canal treatment may be needed to remove the infected nerve and save the tooth. At Ashford Dental Centre (Thomson and other Ashford clinics), the cost of root canal treatment depends on the tooth type. Based on the official price list, a molar (back tooth) root canal costs $1,200 to $1,500, while premolar root canals cost $850 to $950 and front teeth $650 to $750 (prices exclude 9% GST). The root canal fee includes the full procedure and X-rays taken during the treatment are not charged separately.
Additional costs may include a one-time consultation fee of $35 and digital X-rays ($45 for small, $100 for full-mouth) if needed before treatment. For back teeth, a crown is often recommended after a root canal to prevent fractures, with options ranging from $1,300 for porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns to $1,900 for full zirconia crowns. Root canal treatment is not MediSave claimable, but Ashford Dental Centre is known for transparent pricing and staged payments. Early treatment at Ashford Dental Centre Thomson can relieve pain, stop infection and help you avoid more complex and costly procedures later.
