Front teeth are simpler and cost $300–$500; molars with multiple canals can reach $800–$1,200.

Complexity of infection & anatomyhigh

Curved roots, calcified canals, or severe infection require advanced techniques and specialist referral, increasing cost.

How Root Canal Treatment Works: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Diagnosis & X-Ray Imaging

    10–15 minutes

    Your dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to confirm infection in the pulp chamber. CBCT imaging may be used for complex cases to map root anatomy.

  2. 2

    Local Anesthesia & Isolation

    5–10 minutes

    The tooth is numbed with local anesthetic—you feel pressure and vibration but no pain. A rubber dam isolates the tooth to keep it dry and infection-free during treatment.

  3. 3

    Pulp Removal & Canal Cleaning

    30–45 minutes

    Your dentist removes the infected pulp from the root canal using specialized instruments. The canal is shaped and cleaned to remove all bacteria and diseased tissue.

  4. 4

    Canal Filling & Sealing

    10–15 minutes

    The cleaned canal is filled with biocompatible gutta-percha (rubber-like material) and cement to seal it completely, preventing future infection.

  5. 5

    Temporary or Permanent Restoration

    Varies; crown placed 2–4 weeks later

    A temporary filling is placed if more visits are needed. Once fully healed, the tooth is typically restored with a crown to prevent fracture and restore full function.

Total timeline: 1–2 hours per visit; 1–3 visits total depending on complexity. Crown placement scheduled 2–4 weeks after final RCT appointment.

Am I a Candidate for Root Canal Treatment?

Good candidates

  • Adults with a severe toothache, throbbing pain, or abscess—especially those who want to keep the natural tooth rather than extract it.
  • Patients with deep decay or infection confirmed by X-ray, with otherwise healthy root structure and no systemic issues affecting healing.
  • Anyone experiencing prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold (lasting weeks or months) that does not resolve with sensitivity toothpaste.
  • Those with a visible swelling or pimple on the gum above the tooth, indicating infection that needs root canal therapy to resolve.

May need extra assessment

  • Patients with very curved or calcified roots—extra assessment via CBCT imaging and possible specialist referral to an endodontist.
  • Severe diabetics or those on immunosuppressive medications—healing may be slower; dentist will assess bone density and infection control first.
  • Prior failed root canal treatment—retreatment is possible but requires specialist evaluation to identify why the first treatment failed.
