A root canal doesn’t need to be stressful. At Fix Dental, we help patients across Brisbane relieve severe tooth pain, eliminate infection, and save their natural teeth with gentle, effective root canal treatment.
Our fixed, transparent pricing means you’ll always know what your treatment costs before you begin. And for just $199, we offer a nerve dressing appointment to get you out of pain fast and assess whether your tooth is suitable for root canal treatment.
Pain that wakes you at night or requires painkillers
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, prompt care can save your tooth and stop the pain.
Know your root canal cost before you hit the chair
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. At Fix Dental, your total root canal treatment will involve a preliminary consultation, the root canal therapy itself, and a final restoration with either a filling or a crown. While fillings may be suitable in some cases, a dental crown offers greater strength, better protection, and more long-term success.

Details
1. Initial Root Canal Assessment & Dressing
$199
Up to $990 (front) Up to $1,390 (back)
We treat infected or inflamed teeth by removing decay and applying a medicated dressing. This is often the first step before root canal therapy. Even without pain, this appointment is required to assess whether root canal treatment is suitable.
2. Root canal therapy
Front tooth: $990 Back tooth: $1,390
Up to $1,200 (front) Up to $1,800 (back)
Front teeth have one canal, back teeth often have multiple canals, making them more complex and time-consuming.
3. Crown restoration
Front crown: $1,390 Back crown: $999
Up to $1,800+
Protects and restores your tooth long-term. A front crown is strong and more aesthetic, while a back crown is built to withstand chewing pressure.
Why Timing Matters
You may notice:
Delaying a root canal can lead to:
Worsening infection
Severe swelling
Bone loss around the tooth
A dental abscess
Tooth fracture (making it impossible to save)
Higher treatment costs later
Early treatment offers the best chance of saving your tooth.
What to expect during your root canal treatment
1
Clinical examination, X-rays and Nerve Dressing
We begin with an exam and X-ray to locate the infection and assess all canals.
You’ll receive a nerve dressing to relieve pain quickly and calm inflammation before treatment begins.
2
Treatment under local anaesthesia
Your tooth will be completely numbed.
We gently remove the inflamed or infected pulp, clean and shape the canals, and seal them to prevent reinfection.
3
Restoration
Your tooth is restored with a filling or, ideally, a custom crown for long-term strength and protection.
We’ll recommend the most suitable option based on how much healthy tooth structure remains, to restore comfortable chewing.
What to Expect After Your Root Canal
Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
You may experience mild tenderness for a few days; this is normal as the surrounding tissue heals.
You’ll receive instructions tailored to your treatment, including:
how to manage discomfort
when the tooth should be crowned
best foods to eat
when to contact us if something feels unusual
We reject the idea that great dental care has to come with a high price tag.

Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic treatment) is a procedure used to save a tooth that’s become infected or damaged on the inside. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the canal, and sealing it to prevent further problems.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Not with the right care. We use local anaesthetic and modern techniques to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Most patients feel relief from tooth pain, not more of it.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
In most cases, yes, especially for back teeth. A crown helps protect your treated tooth, adds strength, and prevents it from cracking or breaking. We’ll explain the best option based on the condition of your tooth.
What happens if I delay a root canal?
Delaying treatment can lead to more severe pain, spread of infection, or even tooth loss. Early canal treatment helps avoid bigger issues like nerve damage, abscesses, or tooth loss and reduces the need for more complex dental procedures later on.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes. Root canal therapy is a common and safe procedure when performed by experienced professionals. Our dentists use modern techniques and materials to ensure a high success rate and long-term results.
Will I need more than one visit?
In most cases, we complete treatment over three appointments — one for the initial consultation and nerve dressing, the second for the root canal procedure itself and the crown preparation, and the third for the crown insert. We’ll give you a personalised plan and timeline during your consultation.
