One of the most common questions we hear is surprisingly simple: How exactly does dental insurance work in Canada? The answer isn’t always straightforward. Policies differ, reimbursement structures vary, and terminology can feel technical.
Root canal cost in Ontario runs from $600 to $1,600 with a general dentist. A front tooth is the low end, a molar is the high end, and an endodontist is higher for the same tooth. Those figures are for the canal itself. A crown, sedation, a post, and a retreatment are separate lines. They are not folded into the canal fee.
Dental crown cost in Ontario runs from $800 to $2,000. The price varies by material, lab work, and whether the tooth also needs a core, a post, or a root canal before the crown is made. Porcelain fused to metal, ceramic, zirconia, gold, and short-term composite resin crowns require different visits. A core, post, or root canal is not included in the crown fee.
