Pain-Free Root Canal Treatment in Sydney
Comfort-Focused Care With a Clear Plan
A root canal has become a more common procedure with a simple goal – remove the inflamed or infected tissue inside the tooth, clean the space thoroughly, and then seal it to help reduce the chance of further infection.
Dr Mario Wais (Dentist) has over 30 years of clinical experience and has completed extensive postgraduate training focused on root canal techniques. As he puts it, “I’ve provided root canal care for many patients over the years, and focus on careful planning and comfort throughout.”
If you’ve been worried about discomfort, you’re not alone. Many patients are surprised by how manageable modern root canal procedures can feel, thanks to modern anaesthetics, careful technique, and good communication.
Advanced Technology for a More Thorough Clean
We use modern dental tools, including rotary instruments and sonic irrigation, to clean and shape the canal system and assist with sealing. This may help reduce lingering tenderness for many patients and may help some people feel more comfortable afterwards.
Magnification and precision instruments also help us work carefully in small spaces, which matters when we’re working inside the roots of a tooth.
What To Expect During the Process
Every case starts with a detailed exam of the tooth, plus digital X-rays or a 3D scan to see what’s happening below the surface. We’ll discuss what we can see, your options, and costs upfront, including how best to protect the tooth afterwards.
We’ll use a local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable, then isolate the tooth (often with a thin rubber dam) to keep the area clean and dry. Next, the inflamed or infected tissue is removed, the canal is cleaned, shaped, and disinfected. The space is filled with a durable, biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal it and to help reduce the chance of reinfection.
Finally, we restore the tooth and protect it from the impact of daily use. Depending on the tooth involved and bite pressure, it may be a filling or a crown, and we’ll advise you on the most suitable option for your situation.
Many cases can be completed in one visit. Sometimes, a second (or occasionally third) appointment is recommended, and we’ll explain why if that applies to you.
Dr Mario Wais (Dentist)
With more than 25 years of experience, Dr Mario brings a calm, reassuring approach to implant care. He has over 10 years’ experience in implant dentistry and has completed postgraduate implant courses, seminars and study groups, with the added advantage of consultation pathways with implant specialists when needed. After earning his dental degree from the University of Buenos Aires and requalifying at the University of Adelaide in 1999, he has also completed 600+ hours of advanced training across dentistry, including oral implantology, crowns and bridges, root canal care, and pain control. As principal dentist, he mentors younger practitioners and oversees clinical protocols to support consistent, high-quality care.
Minimise Disruption to Your Week
A lot of patient anxiety comes from outdated stories. With today’s approach, many people soon return to their usual routines with simple aftercare guidance, but recovery varies.
If you feel anxious in the chair, sedation options may be available. We can talk you through what’s suitable during your visit.
Pricing Your Root Canal Procedure
The procedure cost depends on the number of canals in the tooth (often between one and four) and whether it’s best completed in a single visit or staged over multiple visits. We’ll confirm your plan during the diagnostic consultation and provide a clear estimate. Here’s a general guide:
Step 1: The Emergency Visit ($515)
If you are in pain now, this is the first step. It includes:
- X-rays and Emergency Nerve Removal (Pulp Extirpation)
- Temporary Filling to keep the tooth safe until the full treatment
- The “Credit”: If you pay $515, the dentist will subtract it from your final total later.
Step 2: Completing the Treatment
The cost to finish the job depends on how many canals are in that specific tooth. Front teeth usually have 1, while back teeth (molars) can have 3 or 4.
These figures include appointments and imaging. The final restoration (filling or crown) is quoted separately. If you’re with a health fund, we can help you check rebates with the relevant item numbers.
Payment Options That Fit Your Life
No one plans for a root canal, but you do have options. We accept HICAPS for on-the-spot claims and offer payment solutions through Afterpay and DentiCare. We’ll explain what’s available at your first visit, with clear information and no pressure.
