What is a root canal?

A root canal is a non-surgical endodontic treatment performed under local anesthesia to save and restore a tooth that is decayed or infected.

When do I need a root canal treatment?

A tooth can become inflamed when a bacterial 
infection (dental abscess) enters your tooth through
a crack, deep cavity or some other issue with a tooth filling.

How much does a root canal cost?

The cost of root canals can change based on where you need the root canal and who is 
performing the treatment.

Root canal location

The location of your root canal is the biggest cost indicator. An anterior root canal located near the front of your mouth typically costs less than a molar root canal.

Tooth condition

If a root canal was previously performed on the affected tooth, or if the infection requires surgery, your cost could be impacted.

Dentist vs. Specialist

The cost of a root canal varies based on who is performing the treatment; specialists will have a higher fee from general dentists.
