Root Canal
A root canal saves a tooth that’s infected or badly decayed, rather than removing it. The dentist gently removes the inflamed pulp inside the tooth, cleans and seals the canal, and restores the tooth — ending the pain and keeping your natural tooth in place.
Modern root canals are routine and comfortable, usually done under local anaesthetic in one or two visits. A crown is often placed afterward to protect the tooth. SmileMatch lists verified Canadian clinics that offer root canal therapy with clear CAD pricing.

What root canal usually costs.
A root canal generally runs about CA$700–$1,500 depending on the tooth, plus roughly CA$1,000–$1,800 for a protective crown. Both are often partly covered by insurance or the CDCP.
