What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy—also known as endodontic treatment—is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation in the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth. If left untreated, this infection can lead to severe pain or even tooth loss.
During the procedure, we:
- Gently remove the infected pulp
- Clean and disinfect the inner tooth
- Fill and seal the canal
- Restore the tooth’s function and appearance—often with a crown
Our goal is to save your natural tooth while eliminating pain and restoring function.
What Is the Cost of Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is an investment in saving your natural teeth and protecting overall oral health. Typical fees range from $650–$1,250 depending on the tooth (incisor, premolar, molar) and case complexity. If a previously treated tooth fails to heal or becomes reinfected, retreatment options are available to help preserve your smile.
