The root canal price depends on the tooth needing the root canal since not all root canals are the same. The cost depends on the number of roots, the number of canals and may also depend on the shape of the root canals. Badly curved canals are more difficult and take much more time to clean and fill than straight ones.

           The root canal price depends on the area of the US and the background of the dentist but some ranges are: molar $800 - $1,200, bicuspid $700 - $ 1,000, anterior $500 - $750. It's higher with a root canal retreatment because working with a previously treated tooth is more difficult. Because of the added difficulty and time, it's about $ 200.00 - $ 400.00 more. Occasionally a root canal failure does occur and root canal surgery is needed. Not all dentists who do root canal procedures do this type of surgery and the costs really depend on the tooth involved, the number of diseased roots and a few other factors.

          An Endodontist (Root Canal Specialist) limits practice to doing root canals, however, many regular general dentists do them, too. A root canal price is often greater when it's done by a specialist. The actual charge depends on many different things. It's important not to base your decision on who does your root canal only on fee but instead you should make this decision based on the background of the dentist and the type of relationship you have with him.
