Some patients want to know the average dental costs in Ontario. Prices are still a contributing factor whether a patient books a dental appointment or not. So, here is a list of the common dental procedures in Ontario and how much they cost on average.

Average dental costs in Ontario

Dental treatments differ, and you need to categorize them to know how much they are. 

General dentistry

General dentistry aims to manage a patient’s overall oral care needs. It includes fillings, gum care, and root canal. Dental fillings are a dental restoration used to fill gaps in a tooth and can range from C$50 to C$350. Treatments like gum disease treatment and a root canal may range from C$200 to C$1,000 per tooth.

Preventative dentistry

Preventative dentistry is any dentistry that aims to stop dental problems in the future. For example, teeth cleaning, fluoride treatments and oral exams aim to prevent plaque build-up and, therefore, tartar and cavities from forming. It can cost as little as C$25 per cleaning.

Crowns

Crowns are a type of dental restoration cap placed over an existing tooth. They are typically made out of porcelain or ceramic. They can be used when a tooth is broken or has a damaged root. Crowns can cost between C$250 and C$1,000.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a type of dental restoration that is used to bridge between one or more teeth. They are typically fixed and are made from porcelain, ceramic or plastic. They generally are used when teeth are missing or knocked out. They can be expensive, costing between C$500 and C$2,000.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are a type of dental restoration that replaces a tooth root. They are usually placed by an oral surgeon and involve an implant inserted into the jawbone. Once the implant has healed, a tooth crown can be fixed onto the implant. Implants can be expensive, costing between C$1,000 and C$5,000.

Braces

Braces are a type of orthodontic device worn by a person over some time to achieve the desired shape. Braces are usually worn for several months, and removal is not required. Braces can be expensive, costing between C$1,000 and C$5,000.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an orthodontic device worn through a person’s teeth rather than attached to them. They are popular with adults and older teens due to being much less noticeable than traditional braces. Invisalign can be more expensive, costing between C$3,000 and C$10,000.

As dentistry technology evolves, it’s common to see tech influencers collaborate with dental tech providers to highlight innovations in digital tools used for treatments like crowns and Invisalign.

Dentures

Dentures are a type of orthodontic device worn by a person to replace missing teeth. Dentures can be made of acrylic, porcelain or metal. Dentures can cost between C$650 and C$3,000.
