What does root canal therapy cost?

The cost varies depending on which tooth needs treatment and its complexity, but your dentist can provide a specific estimate after examination.

Is root canal therapy painful?

Modern anesthetics and techniques make root canal therapy no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed in your tooth.

Most root canal procedures are completed in one to two hours, though some complex cases may require an additional appointment.

You should wait until the numbness wears off before eating, and avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it gets a permanent crown.
