An endodontist is a dentist with additional training and specialist registration in endodontics: the diagnosis and treatment of problems inside the tooth, such as an inflamed or infected pulp. This includes root canal treatment, retreatment and endodontic surgery. At JCV Endodontics, treatment is provided by Dr Juan Camilo Villegas, a dentist with specialist registration in endodontics with the Dental Board of Australia.
You can contact the practice directly to ask about an appointment, and many patients are referred by their dentist. A referral from your dentist is required at some stage. After treatment, you return to your own dentist for the final filling or crown.
As a general guide, endodontic treatment at JCV Endodontics currently ranges from $1,900 to $3,800, depending on the tooth and the complexity of the case. Where practicable, you’ll receive an individual estimate before treatment begins. Private health insurance benefits vary, so please check with your fund. See root canal cost in Perth for more detail.
Many root canal treatments are carried out by general dentists. Your dentist may refer you to an endodontist when a tooth is more complex, for example with curved or narrowed canals, a previous root canal treatment or ongoing symptoms. An assessment helps determine the most suitable option.

Endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal treatment, involves cleaning, disinfecting and sealing the root canal system of a tooth affected by disease or injury.
Where clinically appropriate, treatment may allow the natural tooth to be maintained. Following root canal treatment, an appropriate filling, crown or other definitive restoration is important to help protect the remaining tooth structure and reduce the risk of recontamination. Your endodontist will advise you about the restorative care required following treatment
Surgical endodontic treatment may be considered when conventional root canal treatment or retreatment is not appropriate or has not resolved the underlying problem.
One form of endodontic surgery is an apicectomy, in which the tip of the root and surrounding affected tissue are accessed surgically and treated. Whether surgery is appropriate depends on the diagnosis, previous treatment, condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues.
Your endodontist can explain the available options, their limitations and relevant risks following assessment
Local anaesthetic is routinely used during root canal procedures to numb the treatment area. For patients who experience dental anxiety or who may benefit from additional support during treatment, sedation options may be considered following appropriate assessment.
JCV Endodontics provides access to inhalation and intravenous sedation in suitable circumstances. The appropriate approach depends on the individual patient, proposed procedure and relevant medical considerations. Learn more about sedation for root canal treatment.
Some temporary tenderness or discomfort can occur following root canal treatment as the tissues around the tooth recover. The type and duration of symptoms vary between patients and procedures. Your endodontist will provide post-operative instructions relevant to your treatment, including information about pain management, eating, oral hygiene and circumstances in which you should contact the practice. More information is available in our root canal post-operative guidance
Infection control at JCV Endodontics is extremely important. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilisation and cross contamination processes in accordance with the guidelines as recommended by the Australian Dental Association. JCV Endodontics holds Dental Practice (Private) accreditation with Quality Innovation Performance (QIP).
Your endodontist will provide individual instructions about managing discomfort following treatment. Pain management recommendations depend on the procedure performed, your medical history and your individual circumstances. Antibiotics are not required following every root canal procedure and may be prescribed only when clinically indicated. If symptoms become severe, swelling develops or you are concerned about your recovery, contact the practice for advice
