The two stage process: Root Canal Treatment Cost
Stage 1
The tooth is thoroughly cleaned and dressed with antibiotics. A temporary filling is placed on the tooth. The temporary filling can last up to eight weeks. Stage one costs $720 (including all x-rays etc). This cost is deducted from the pricing table on the right upon completion of the root canal. This first stage will take approximately 45 minutes.
Stage 2
The root canal system is re-cleaned and a root filling is carefully placed. Depending on the complexity of the case, this stage may take approximately 90 minutes from start to finish.
