Flexible financing for root canal care

Payment options.

Cost should never be a barrier to quality endodontic care. Multiple payment paths to make root canal treatment affordable.

What affects the cost of a root canal?

Every tooth is different, so the cost of a root canal varies from patient to patient. A few things shape the final number. Knowing them ahead of time helps you plan.

Which tooth it is

Front teeth usually have one canal; back molars can have three or four. More canals means more time and care, which affects the cost.

First treatment or retreatment

Treating a tooth for the first time is different from redoing a previous root canal. Retreatment is more involved, so it is priced differently.

Imaging and materials

Some cases need 3D CBCT imaging or special materials to treat the tooth safely. Your endodontist uses only what your tooth needs, nothing more.

Your care team reviews all of this and gives you a clear estimate before treatment starts. For what your plan may cover, see insurance & fees.

Common questions about paying for treatment

Will you give me an estimate before treatment?

Yes. Your care team verifies your benefits and reviews your tooth, then gives you a clear estimate of your portion before any treatment begins. There are no surprise charges after the fact.

Does dental insurance lower my cost?

Often, yes. Most PPO dental plans cover part of root canal treatment. Your MFE insurance coordinator checks your specific plan and explains what it pays before you decide. See insurance & fees for the plans we accept.

What if I cannot pay the full amount at once?

CareCredit lets you spread treatment across monthly payments, many with a no-interest option. You can apply online in minutes and get a decision right away, so cost does not delay the care you need.
