Major dental treatment at Odontologie
When a tooth is broken, infected or missing, the aim is to keep what can be kept and restore what cannot. These are the major treatments our Lansvale dentists provide.
Root canal treatment
Clears infection from inside a tooth and seals it, so you can keep the tooth instead of losing it. Front tooth from $1,100, molar from $2,000.

Major Dental - frequently asked
What counts as major dental?
Most health funds class root canal treatment, crowns, bridges, dentures, surgical extractions such as wisdom teeth, and orthodontics as major dental. Check-ups, cleans, X-rays, fluoride and simple fillings are usually general or preventive. The item numbers on your written plan show exactly how each part is classed.
How much does my health fund cover for major dental?
It depends on your level of extras cover. Major dental often has a waiting period, commonly 12 months, and its own annual limit, and many policies pay a percentage of the fee rather than a set amount. Send your item-numbered plan to your fund before treatment and they can tell you your rebate. We accept all major health funds.
Can I spread the cost of major treatment?
Yes. You can spread the cost of crowns, bridges, implants and dentures with humm or Afterpay, subject to approval. Our front desk team can explain how each option works.
Can I be sedated for major treatment?
IV sedation is available for anxious patients and for longer appointments such as several extractions or wisdom teeth. You will need an adult to take you home afterwards, and your dentist checks your medical history first. See our IV sedation page.
Do I need a treatment plan before major work?
We always examine the tooth and take the images needed first, then go through a written plan covering the options, the number of visits and the cost. It gives you time to check your cover and ask questions, and nothing starts until you are ready.
Is it better to save a tooth or remove it?
Where a tooth can be kept reliably, keeping it is usually the better outcome. If it cannot be saved, we will say so plainly and talk through replacing it with an implant, a bridge or a denture. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and each treatment page explains them, along with why a second opinion from another qualified practitioner is always worth considering.
