In Australian dollars, before health fund rebates. Ranges reflect typical Gold Coast fees — your exact figure depends on your mouth.
Root canal therapy on the Gold Coast typically costs $900 to $2,000, before health fund rebates. Front teeth have one root canal and sit at the lower end; premolars have one or two; molars have three or four, take longer and cost the most. In most cases the tooth then needs a crown to protect it, which is quoted separately.
It's a real cost, so people naturally ask whether it's cheaper to just take the tooth out. The extraction itself is cheaper — but the gap it leaves usually needs an implant or bridge, and that costs more than saving the tooth would have. Root canal is almost always the better-value choice when the tooth can be saved.
