Root Canal Cost
Cost should be estimated honestly after diagnosis, not invented for a web page.
Cost Estimate Basics
Root canals commonly range from $600-$1,200. Cost depends on the tooth type, number of canals, infection, crown needs, and insurance benefits. Elm Ridge performs many root canals, including molars, but not retreatments.

Insurance and Benefits
Elm Ridge is in-network with most major PPO dental plans and can file many out-of-network PPO plans. Benefits vary by employer and plan. We can estimate benefits, but final payment is determined by the insurance company.
Financing Options
CareCredit and Cherry are available. In-house payment arrangements may be considered case by case. Payment is due at the time of service unless another arrangement has been made before treatment.
Why an Exam May Be Needed
Diagnosis and X-rays are needed because a toothache might require a filling, crown, root canal, extraction, or referral.
