How much does a root canal cost?

A root canal can relieve pain, help save your tooth, and get you back to smiling and eating again. 

Root canal cost will vary based on the location and condition of the affected tooth. Putting off a root canal, however, can lead to more expensive dental procedures down the road or the permanent loss of your tooth. 

Saving your natural teeth is usually the first plan of action as they’re often better at biting and chewing than replacement teeth such as dentures or bridges. When a natural tooth is pulled but not replaced, the teeth around it may shift, making it more difficult to bite, chew, and to clean your teeth well, which can lead to gum disease.
