Fees for root canal therapy are determined by tooth type, previous treatment and the complexity of the case. Although each case is individually quoted, fees generally range between $1,400 to $2,400. The fee commonly includes:
- Emergency treatment (during office hours)
- Prescriptions (written)
- Anesthetic
- Health history and physician’s consultations
- Instrumentation and cleaning of the root canal
- Filling of the root canal
- Placement of temporary outer filling
- Reports to your general dentist, insurance carriers
Examination, diagnosis and treatment plan including diagnostic testing and all necessary x-rays are charged at separate fees. Additional procedures, i.e. surgery, consultations, after hours visits, etc. typically invoke additional fees.
A fee will be charged for x-rays since they are required for diagnostic purposes. General dentists may send x-rays, but they do not include various angles of the root tips which is necessary for assessing endodontic treatment.
