How Much Does Root Canal Treatment Cost?
At The Perfect Smile, we design our treatments solely for you. Because of this, our Root Canal treatment cost is dependent on several important factors:
- The tooth being treated
- The number of root canals present
- The shape and complexity of canals
- The time it takes to complete the root filling
At the assessment stage, your dentist can give you an estimate for the treatment fee based upon a review of the X-ray of the tooth.
However, the difficulty of the treatment is only genuinely known once the treatment is undertaken.
There will be a further cost for the restoration needed to build up the tooth after the Root Canal Treatment. This will depend on whether a reinforcing post is used and the other materials used.
We recommend using a fibre-post bonded into the root canal, followed by a white filling which bonds to the post and your tooth.
Occasionally, a metal post that is precision made in the laboratory may be indicated. A crown is ultimately necessary to protect the tooth for the long term.
