Root canal treatment in Auckland
Root canal treatment may help save an infected tooth. We’ll check the problem, explain your options and discuss costs before you decide.
What root canal treatment involves
Assess the tooth
An examination and X-rays help us find the problem and check whether the tooth can be restored.
Clean and seal the canals
We remove affected pulp, clean the canals and seal them. Local anaesthetic helps manage discomfort.
Restore the tooth
A filling or crown protects the remaining tooth, depending on how much structure is left.
Not every painful tooth needs root canal treatment. We’ll explain what’s wrong, your options, the visits needed and how the tooth will be repaired afterwards.
Your treatment
Plan the full treatment
We’ll explain both the root canal treatment and the filling or crown needed afterwards, including the visits and expected cost.

Will I need a crown afterwards?
It depends on how much of the tooth remains. We’ll explain whether you need a filling or crown after treatment.
What if the tooth can’t be saved?
We’ll explain why and discuss extraction and suitable options for replacing the tooth.
How much does it cost?
The cost depends on the canals, how complex the treatment is and the filling or crown needed afterwards. We’ll give you an estimate.
