How much does root canal cost?

sorry to hear you're in pain, that's tough!  everyone i've known who's had root canals wished they never did it - they often have complications.  last fall i had my wisdom teeth removed, and had to have a molar next to one of them removed also ( i had the option of root canal or just removing it)  and it's ok now, i don't miss it, pain's gone.  so if it's a few back teeth you wouldn't miss, you may just want to ask them to just remove them...good luck!

Well it takes just 5 minutes. And its painless too. ( Unless you need root canal treatment if the cavity is very very deep)

here is the answer you are looking for...  first, do not go to mexico.  your dentist can do a partial root canal or a pulpectomy.  the fee for this procedure should be about 1/4 of the fee for a complete root canal.  this procedure will hold you over until you can save to get the final procedure done.  the partial root canal will remove all or most of the nerve and blood supply to the tooth.  you will have a temporary filling placed after the partial root canal procedure.  if you cannot afford the complete procedure, this is second best.  ask your dentist about this possibility.  of course if the tooth is severely decayed or broken, it may not be salvagable.  good luck...  a pulpectomy should be under 200 bucks and it includes the temporary filling.  make sure you finish what you started though.  an incomplete root canal can cause problems down the road.

Cheap, pull it.\n\nIf salvageable, expect starting price of $1800 for root canal and crown.

No you can't call around and get a quote on a root canal from different dentists.  It's not like buying car insurance. You will not be able to get a price from a dentist without him/her seeing you first. By law they can not quote you a price for a procedure without seeing you first. It's the same thing as calling a Dr. you've never seen before and asking them to diagnose your problem over the phone. It can't be done. There are many types of root canals and they all cost different prices. It also depends on what tooth it is and what kind of crown the dentist will put on it. Most people think there's a set fee for this type of procedure but that isn't the case. It is a case by case scenario and if you feel like the price is too high at your current dentist I reccomend getting a copy of your xray and getting a second opinion.  Normally for a root canal and a crown you are looking at spending around $900 for both. Of course, if you have insurance then the price would be drastically less.  Some dentists have payment plans/options and I would look into that if you are paying cash for this. Good luck, I have had a root canal and crown myself and it's not fun!

I live in the US. \n\nI'm just in the second month of my braces and the total cost is around $3400. My insurance picks up  $1000 and I pay the rest out of pocket. I will have 16 months of treatment.

Depending on where you live in the U.S., they will cost approximately $550.00 - $1500.00 each.  Also, they are considered cosmetic, therefore they will not be covered by your dental insurance company.

I got an estimate from my oral surgeon.  This was for 28 implants in my mouth.  It was around $50,000 total for all work and any follow up visits.  A bit too much money for me to fork out right now.  Plus just remember, implants only last around 20 years if you maintain it well.  And they still will NOT be like your natural teeth.  That is what one of my friends who had it done said.  By the way he paid $60,000 for all of his.

It depends on what needs to be done to the tooth. \nIf it is a small chip on the bottom of a top tooth, the dentist may be able to use composite (filling) material to fill it in. In my area it costs $70-130.\nIf a large part of the tooth is broken, it may require a crown. In my area they cost $500, but the charge is much higher in larger areas. Between $800 and $1200. \nGo to a dentist for an exam. He will tell you what you need to have it fixed and give you an estimate. \nIf it needs capped, call around and see what other dentists are charging.\nHope this helps!!

I don`t know but, I certainly agree with you.. It is a crying shame when the Government will pay for Viagra so OLD men can get it on, But the average middle class person doesn`t get any kind of dental care.. \n\nI mean it is ridiculous to pay $150.00 to have ONE tooth pulled. Which takes the dentist all of five minutes to pull. For crying out loud. That is very good money for five minutes work.. \n\nAnd on top of that. I knew someone who died at 42 due to having bad teeth. So it is NOT like it is ONLY a cosmetic thing. It is a serious health issue.. \n\nIt is sad in OUR Country that anyone has to do without health care..

It's going to depend on the dentist and the cost of dental treatment in your particular area of the country.  In Florida, after all is said and done, it's approximately $2,000 per tooth.

Root canal needed usually means a deep infection in the gum, have her rinse out with Hydrogen Peroxide diluted with water,(Do not swallow it), Some dentists will let you make payments, call the 1-800 Dentist if you are in the U.S., they might be able to help.

The price is the same for a root canal whether it is completely in 1 visit or 3 visits.  Contrary to what the person above me stated, the dentist is not making anymore money by having you return to complete the root canal.  Many general dentists take more than one visit to complete a root canal because it is so time consuming and depending on the tooth, multiple roots.  The reason it is 2 weeks out could very possibly be that she doesn't have any appointments available until then.  Bottom line.. it is very common for general dentists to complete a root canal in 2 visits.

Too little info.  Are you building, renting, or leasing?  Are you going to have digital x-ray equipment and computers in every op.  Are you going to have a panorex machine regular or digital?  How much square footage will you have to work with?  Statum or autoclave or both?  x-ray heads with wall mountings can be 20 grand and up.  The sensor alone for digital x-rays can be 10 thousand and up.  The list goes on and on, I see that you are a hygienist.  The best thing to do is start researching prices of different equipment through many of the dental suppliers, Patterson, Becker and Parken, etc.  They all have huge catalogs of supplies and equipment.  I would venture a guess that you are looking at close to 80 to 100 grand alone in dental equipment, unless you are going bare bones.  I would hate to be in a dentist's shoes wanting to start their own practice.  Huge overhead!!!

I am a dentist.\n\nYou didn't pay $800 for two fillings.  You paid $800 for an office visit, x-rays, maybe some other services, and fillings.\n\nWhen you go to a physicians office, do you ask for an itemized list of everything you will be charged for?  Of course not.  So why would you expect this from a dentist?  He/she, like your physician, is running a doctors office and has to do multiple things to diagnose and treat your problem, and simply cannot take the time to explain every damn thing to you.  You seem to view a visit to the dentist like a trip to your auto mechanic.\n\nIt's your responsibility to ask.  You are the derelict who has financial woes and yet failed to ask, "Doctor, how much will this cost me?"\n\nFurthermore, it is your responsibility to know your insurance benefits, not your dentist's.  If you don't know, your dentist's staff would have been happy to determine this for you.  You, of course, failed to ask.\n\nI can understand you're upset with the bill.  But try to remember that your dentist did actually cure you of two diseased teeth.
