Root canal and extraction
Amount: $3,600.00 Posted by: Brandon Conley
From: Ball Ground, GA

Which Tooth: Wisdom and molar
Practitioner: Coal mountain dental
Glad to see I was completely ripped off. I paid $3600 for extraction of 1 wisdom tooth (came out with no issue) and a root canal with porcelain crown. She also wanted to charge me $1300 for a filling on another molar. That's what everyone else is paying for a root canal
Full Cost of Molar Root Canal
Amount: $1,119.00 Posted by: a user in Mifflinburg, PA.

Which Tooth: 18
Practitioner: Central PA Endodontics
Total cost of my root canal was $1119, which quite surprised me, so I am glad to find this site to compare prices, and it no longer seems so outrageous, especially because mine was a challenging case and lengthy with (I think) all 4 roots performed. I think because I had no idea exactly what would be performed and no idea of the cost. The bill is not itemized and only lists the full amount. Unfortunately, there is such a lack of dental care and appointment options in my area that I really couldn't shop around. Insurance covered a portion, but this is root canal only and not follow up with my dentist for crown. However, I know that the procedure was done well and have confidence in the work. Hope this info helps someone else as everyone else's has helped me. Best wishes for your dental health! Thanks!

Which Tooth: 2 ROOT CANALS AND MANY FILLINGS
Practitioner: COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER
There are over 250 federal community health centers and all do dental work and basic primary
medical care for free or at very low cost.
I have been using a federal community health center for 4 years.
The first year I paid $500 for 2 root canals.
For the last 4 years I have paid nothing!!!
(obama care). All fees are what you can afford
so bring your tax return and that is used to set
your fees. If you have insurance they will charge your insurance co. Shop around for the
center that offers the most services, so just do
fillings. ASK DO YOU DO ROOT CANALS BEFORE GOING
TO THE CENTER LOCATION!!!! ANY CENTER THAT DOES ROOT CANALS, DOES COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL WORK
OTHERWISE FOR COMPLEX WORK THEY WILL REFER YOU
OUT TO A LOCAL DENTIST!!! THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU
WANT. YOU WANT A CENTER THAT OVER THE PHONE OR ON THEIR WEB SITE SAYS THEY DO ROOT CANALS!!!

Which Tooth: Wisdom tooth on lower right
Practitioner: Andy Endodontist
The crowned twice and RCed tooth (20 years ago) began to feel high. It was hard to chew on it. Was sent to Endodontist who took X-rays and panoramic X-rays. Tooth looked OK to me. He filed down high spots on tooth. Said he would do 2nd root canal, even though it looked OK. No guarantee it would stop irritation in tooth. Charged me $280 for X-rays I went home w/o $1400 root canal. Other experiences?

Which Tooth: Not Sure
Practitioner: Mom has no dental insurance, so pays "cash" to her dentist for each visit. She recently had to have a root canal re-done...and as a "Cash Payor" here bill was $1100. Just wondering what the total allowed cost would have been, had she had insurance. Normally Ins Companies make the dentist accept what they will pay. Just wondering if my Mom is being "over charged" because she is a cash customer

Which Tooth: 41 (bottom rt molar
Practitioner: coastal dental
to Dentist, had xrays, not digital told I needed root canal. Was quoted 2300 for root canal. Was in considerable pain. Referred to their endodonist, but couldn't get to me for 10 days. Dentist gave me 10 pills of Tramadol. No antibiotics. Waiting 10 days so long in pain, I asked if anyone could see me sooner. No, but they called another they sometime worked with, & they couldn't see me any sooner except for a consult of $125.00 I could get the next day, but no root canal work any sooner then 10 days!. So, I left dentist with less $ in my pocket with only 10 pain pills & left to find another endodonist. No follow-thru for their patient, but they were paid for what service they did provide. I am now out trying to get quickly to an endodonist.

Referred by my DMD to an edodontist who charged me $1100. Left with a temporary filling. Returned to DMD to change temp. to permanent. DMD charged me another $195. Why?!
Dental repair is outrageously costly. Whatever happened to senior discounts, fairness to those who struggle. A statement, not a question.

Went to Glacier Dental got a root canal and Dentist found cavities under the tooth, of course. Luckily I had 2 insurance. I end up paying $67 out of pocket. The staff is so nice. I was there about 2 1/2 hours on January 2017.
root canal and porcelian ceramic crown
Amount: $2,034.00 Posted by: a user in Scottsdale, AZ.
Posted On: August 1st, 2016 11:08AM
Which Tooth: 20
Practitioner: Sid Stevens
First started with a check up at another dentist who reported a cavity. Had that filled for $285.00. Within a few days started to pain. Was not satisfied with practitioner so went to Dr. Stevens who performed root canal $699 with crown and build up $1335. Not happy about the prior dentist's findings or this outcome since no cavity on #20 reported a few months prior at a cleaning. The dental industry is way out of control in pricing. In an industry where persons should want to help people have a good bite in order to sustain eating and a healthy smile, this is often not the case. Kudos to other geographic locations where pricing is reasonable. Sad to say that I have spent thousands in the past trying to save a tooth, only to lose it a few years later. Nothing like throwing money away especially when you are not a person who can afford to do that.

Drilled Through Crown

Which Tooth: Just behind upper left canine
Practitioner: Drilled through the crown to redo root canal due to last bit of root apparently wasn't cleared in previous root canal 10 years ago. Procedure was fine. Cost was ridiculous, then, before I could get in to get a permanent filling in the crown, the crown broke! Now I get to pay for another crown. Dental insurance maxed out with a single tooth due to earlier procedure done incorrectly and oral surgeon that broke existing crown.
non performace fees if endodontist declines to do the job
Amount: $0.00 Posted by: root canal non performance fee question
From: vermont, VT
Posted On: February 20th, 2016 09:02AM
the endondontist specialist group here has few choices. Both of them charge hefty fee $500 if after consultation the specialist declines or thinks he/she cannot complete the procedure! has anyone run into this or does it just occur to non insured people? where does this leave the patient? I was told: you can usually make an appt at an oral surgeon for an extraction, but not there of course. more money for a dentist. shouldn't this be illegal? however, general traditional dentists here do not charge a non completion fee. The dentist specialty racket should be required to post fees. Even a local garage will do that. vermont.

Just had this done yesterday, in PDL Azores. This place is top notch.(much better than the dentists I've seen in Boston) The dentist spent 1 hour removing the roots cost including 4 or 5x-rays to make sure the entire roots were removed. I'm from Boston Massachusetts where cost would have been about $1,000. I week before ths visit, i had an initial consult and cavity filled for $55.

Which Tooth: #15 and #19
Practitioner: Dr. David Palmieri,Virginia
Very expensive, they didn't want to tell you the price before start to do root canal. It took 30 mins. and cost so much. Matter of fact he had done the wrong tooth. The Universal number that referring to particular teeth doesn't mean anything if that doctor in hurry or greedy or didn't pay attention about what did he see in Ex-ray. General dentist referred to have # 15 and # 19 for root canal. I don't know what number he did but it was not the one that I have pain and General dentist told me that one must have root canal. After I had root canal , I still num all over until after 6 hours I just noticed that he had done root canal to the wrong teeth. I called doctor that had done root canal he said that was the right number. I don't care about the number but the tooth that I had problem still untouch and they didn't want to admitted that was wrong tooth they just said # 19, of course in the paper said # 19 but he actaully did root canal on another tooth. very funny and pity.
Upper Pre-Molar Root Canal: My Very First!
Amount: $393.90 Posted by: Ann H.
From: Santa Clarita, CA
Posted On: September 1st, 2015 01:09PM
Which Tooth: PreMolar Bicuspid-Upper
Practitioner: General Dentist
Only one root on this upper tooth so fee was $798 plus $165 for the filling. It was the most simple RC type they said. (This tooth already has a crown so it was drilled into and then resealed) Insurance covered 558.60 for root canal and 115.50 for filling (filling is a separate cost). My share was 30% since this dentist is not in my PPO. He was quick, efficient, and the RC was painless including the injections. RC was performed yesterday at 5:00 p.m. and this morning I felt fantastic. (The dental office phoned me this morning to see how I was doing, and this is a new dentist.) I took 2 ibuprofen before I left the dentist office for impending soreness. Never needed the pain meds prescription they gave me. My cheek area was still numb at 9:00 p.m. yesterday. But I was still able to eat dinner and some tortilla chips!

Which Tooth: #6 and #9
Practitioner: Manhattan Dental Esthetics
I had two root canals done. Each one costs $1425 (root canal $1195 and $230 for the buildup). My insurance paid 60% because the office is not part of the "network." However, I only had $744 remaining of my $1000/year insurance. I will go back in a few weeks to add more injury to my wallet when I get the crowns. The crowns for each tooth will cost $1800. That's a total of $3225 per tooth. The procedure was surprisingly painless and even pleasant. The dentist was very gentle and talked the whole time to his assistant about what he was doing next. He made sure I was completely numb before proceeding. I was happy that my veneers on the teeth were left intact.

Which Tooth: 14-Left Upper back molar
Practitioner: Dr. Aime Kim
With insurance cost me $276 I was not happy paying it, but after reading about the other costs, guess it wasn't to bad. Procedure was long...more complex then initially thought, it was uncomfortable but bearable. Endo was personable and caring...highly touted in my area for being THE place to get quality root canals! Lol! Next is a crown...my dental office quoted around $600-$800...WITH insurance. This is new insurance and I have a year wait period which sucks for the crown. I paid about $170 for a composite (temporary) restoration to the tooth and I hope I save enough for it by then. I also need a dental implant on one of my lower molars, but I think I'll opt for the bridge...if I barely have enough for the crown, I sure won't have enough for the implant over $2000 with insurance.

Which Tooth: back molar
Practitioner: Sheldon Family Dental Clinic
The procedure itself wasn't horrible, really no pain..took about 90 minutes. I do think the cost is a little high...don't have good insurance. $500 maximum per year and I've already had my checkout come out of that. With the crown, I'm guessing I'll easily have about $1200 out of pocket expense. My tooth wasn't infected...lost the crown with too much tooth attached. Other than pulling the tooth, you really have little choice. Wish dental procedures were included with medical insurance

Which Tooth: #14
Practitioner: I haven't had my root canal yet but I'm going tomorrow at 9:00a.m. As for people complaining about the high cost they have a right to complain. I believe that dentist and doctors far too often charge an outlandish price for what they do. Yes, the cost of living has gone up, while the quality of things remains the same. IE... gas is still made like it was 20 yrs. ago, however we pay far more for it. Quiet a ridiculous amount and it doesn't take any more people to produce said gas than it did 20 yrs. ago. Point taken. People raise prices to pad there pockets but the fact remains you can not take money with you when you leave this old world. It is left here to pay your bills or to your family. So case in point why drive up prices so high that insurance companies do not cover all the cost of the procedure. And yes I can say these things... I am a nurse who hasn't had a raise in over 3 yrs. quiet sad isn't it. I take care of people like you every day.

No insurance - Referred by General Dentist - three appointment process - evaluation, initial procedure (a week ago) & completion (today) after a week of antibiotics to get rid of infection. He was very competent, administered local anesthetic without even feeling the shot, minimal pain until the infection broke out day after 1st procedure but the antibiotic quickly controlleed that. I guess I paid a premium but I think it was woth it to get it done right. Now the crown and more money!
