Root canal cost in Kanata: frequently asked questions

How much does a root canal cost in Kanata?

A root canal in Kanata, ON typically costs CA$945–CA$1,890 CAD, about CA$1,350 on average, as of October 2026. By type: front tooth (anterior) CA$950–CA$1,400; premolar (bicuspid) CA$1,100–CA$1,600; molar CA$1,350–CA$1,900. These are estimates, not quotes.

Is a root canal covered by CDCP or insurance in Ontario?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) covers root canal treatment (endodontics) for eligible residents, and some cases may need preauthorization. A co-payment may apply depending on family income. Confirm with the clinic before treatment.

Does a root canal hurt?

Most patients say a root canal feels similar to getting a filling, because the tooth is numbed with local anesthetic. The infection beforehand is often more painful than the procedure. Mild soreness for a few days afterward is common and usually eases with over-the-counter pain relief.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth from fracturing. Front teeth may sometimes be restored with a filling alone, but molars and premolars almost always need crowns.

How long does a root canal take?

A root canal typically takes 60-90 minutes for most teeth. Complex molars may require 2 appointments. The crown placement is done in a separate visit 2-3 weeks later.
