When you have a severely damaged or infected tooth, we can remove the defective pulp inside of your tooth’s canals. Once the pulp is removed, we disinfect the area and use a filling called gutta-percha to prevent future infections.
Depending on your needs, we may top your tooth with a dental crown for additional protection. Root canal therapy is a common procedure geared towards preserving your oral health and your natural teeth.
If you think that you may need a root canal, please reach out to our office as soon as possible to schedule your consultation!
The cost of treatment for a single root canal starts around $700 and up, depending on the person and tooth condition.
There are too many factors that make it impossible to provide an exact amount without a proper dental examination.
Most dental insurance plans cover root canals; we can help you find out about your coverage.
If you do not have dental insurance, we have payment plans which make it easy to get the treatment you need; contact us for more information.
Every patient is different. However, there are some common signs and symptoms that may indicate the need for root canal therapy, including:
The root canal procedure is actually pretty simple and stress-free. We thoroughly numb the area around the tooth, and we also offer some sedation options for additional comfort.
Most patients report feeling almost instant relief after their root canal treatment. While it may sound intimidating, root canal therapy is actually nothing to fear!
One of the best ways to prevent the need for a root canal is to maintain a proper at-home oral hygiene regimen by brushing twice a day for two minutes each and flossing daily.
We also recommend attending biannual dental cleanings and exams. This gives our team a chance to examine your smile to catch any dental issues while they’re still small!
