What is the average price for a root canal?

Answer 1

The cost of a root canal differs by doctor, by tooth and by degree of difficulty. Larger teeth and more canals (roots) tend to be more expensive. In my experience, they range from $450-650 without insurance. You can still expect to cover 20-40% even if you have insurance. That being said, if you need a root canal, get it done. Do not wait. A situation that requires a root canal only gets worse with time, as the infection can spread.

In my experience in the USA root canals go for anywhere from $800 - $1500. You also need to add the cost of a crown in most cases (to avoid the tooth breaking) which is an additional $800 -$1200. Typical cost without insurance is $2,000 per tooth for both. There are ways to reduce that cost. The obvious one is through insurance if you already have it. The less known way is through one of the discount dental plans available nationwide. These will save you $30-60% on a root canal procedure.

You'll have to check the fee schedule for your area but with my dental plan, I see savings up to 80%. For a root canal, I'll only pay 40% of the procedure, saving me between $500 and $600.

Answer 3

Decay of the teeth (cavities) if left untreated, generally progress and gradually destroy a significant portion of the tooth before reaching the 'pulp' of the tooth. The pulp of the tooth is a thin soft tissue present in the tooth canals consisting of mainly nerves and blood vessels.
Once this infection reaches the pulp it gives rise to a common 'dental pain'. At this stage the tooth can only be saved by performing a root canal treatment.In simple terms, root canal treatment is the removal of the infected soft tissue within the tooth and its replacement by an artificial inert 'filling' material. This procedure basically saves the tooth and eliminates dental pain. I got treated at Dentzz Dental clinic in Mumbai at 300$ where as the total cost incurred here would be 1800-2000 $.Which too expensive thus I decided to get treated in India and its been 6-7 months now. I dint suffer any pain as yet.
