Best Dental’s Affordable Root Canal Pricing. Published Upfront.
Flat rates by tooth type. Published online so you know the cost before you ever pick up the phone.
These are real published fees. Not ranges, not "starting from," not estimates you have to call for. $750 for a front tooth root canal. $850 for a premolar. $950 for a molar, which is the most commonly treated and most involved root canal. The crown that follows a premolar or molar root canal is $950 flat for all materials including zirconia, placed in-house at the same practice. Total molar case: $1,900.
Best Dental publishes the full fee schedule online so you can plan with certainty before treatment. For a procedure you only need once per tooth, knowing the exact cost upfront removes the financial uncertainty that keeps many people from getting the care they need. See our full fee schedule → or read our root canal cost guide for a detailed breakdown.
Affordable Root Canal Cost by Tooth Type
Root canal pricing is determined by which tooth is being treated. The more roots and canals, the more involved the procedure. Here is what each case costs at Best Dental.
Why Best Dental’s Root Canals Cost Less, Without the Compromise
Lower prices do not mean lower quality. Here is exactly why Best Dental can keep root canal fees affordable while using premium materials and modern technique.
Family-Owned, Lower Overhead
Best Dental is a family-owned practice with lean operational costs. Those savings pass directly to patients as published flat fees rather than disappearing into corporate overhead.
No Specialist Referral Markup
Dr. Sonny Naderi performs all root canals in-house, including complex molar cases. There is no separate endodontic specialist markup and no referral required, which keeps the total case cost down.
Published Prices, Zero Surprises
When Best Dental publishes $750, $850, and $950, that is the price. Price transparency is itself a form of affordability. You can plan your budget before you ever pick up the phone.
Everything In-House, One Plan
Root canal and crown at the same practice. One insurance verification, one coordinated treatment plan. Dr. Sonny Naderi places the root canal, Dr. Jasmine Naderi places the crown. One team, $1,900 total for a molar case.
Modern Materials & Technology
Best Dental uses digital X-rays, rotary instrumentation, and premium gutta-percha filling materials. The affordable price reflects overhead savings, not cheaper materials or less experienced providers.
Financing Options Available
CareCredit and Cherry financing, FSA and HSA accepted, and a $199/year Dental Discount Plan for uninsured patients (10% off all treatments). Learn more →
What Happens During a Root Canal at Best Dental
Modern root canals are nothing like their reputation. Here is the actual experience, and why most patients are surprised by how manageable it is.
Diagnosis & X-Ray
Dr. Naderi reviews digital X-rays to assess the extent of infection, map the root anatomy, and confirm the number of canals. This determines the tooth type and therefore the flat fee ($750, $850, or $950). No surprises after the fact. Not sure if you need one? Read the signs you need a root canal.
Local Anesthesia (Included)
The treatment area is fully numb before any instruments are used. You will feel pressure and movement, not sharp pain. Most patients find the procedure significantly more comfortable than the toothache that brought them in. Sedation is also available if you prefer it.
Pulp Removal & Canal Cleaning
The infected or inflamed pulp is removed from each canal using precision rotary instruments. Each canal is thoroughly cleaned, shaped, and treated with antibacterial solution to eliminate bacteria and prevent reinfection.
Filling & Sealing
Each cleaned canal is filled with gutta-percha and sealed permanently. A temporary filling closes the access point. The tooth is now infection-free, and your pain source is eliminated.
Crown Placement (2 to 3 Weeks Later)
For premolars and molars, a permanent crown is placed to protect the treated tooth from fracture. At Best Dental: $950 for all materials including zirconia. Same practice, same team. Total affordable molar case: $1,900.
"The favourable long-term prognosis of endodontically treated teeth must encourage clinicians to rely on primary root canal treatment when taking the decision regarding whether a tooth with pulpal and/or periapical diseases should be saved or be extracted."

An affordable root canal and an emergency root canal are not two different things at Best Dental. The fees are the same regardless of whether your appointment is scheduled or same-day. If you are in severe pain from an infected tooth today, the $750, $850, or $950 rate applies depending on the tooth. We reserve daily appointment slots for dental emergencies and typically see patients the same day they call. For an active infection, see our dental abscess treatment page or our emergency dental care overview.
Call immediately if you experience severe persistent toothache that does not respond to pain medication, facial swelling in the jaw or cheek, fever above 100.4°F, a pimple-like abscess on the gum near a painful tooth, or tooth discoloration with intense pressure sensitivity. These indicate active infection that worsens rapidly without treatment.
- Alternate ibuprofen and acetaminophen as directed on packaging for best pain control
- Apply a cold compress (ice wrapped in cloth) to the outside of your cheek. 15 min on, 15 min off.
- Keep your head elevated. Lying flat increases blood flow to the head and worsens throbbing pain.
- Rinse gently with warm salt water to reduce bacteria and inflammation
- Avoid very hot, cold, or sweet foods that trigger pain on the affected side
- Do not apply heat. It increases blood flow and can worsen swelling and infection.
Insurance & Financing. Making Affordable Even Easier.
- PPO Dental Insurance: Most plans cover root canals at 50 to 80% after deductible. At $950 for a molar root canal with 50% coverage, your out-of-pocket is approximately $475. Best Dental verifies your exact benefits before treatment, so there are no surprises at checkout. We do not accept HMO, DMO, or DHMO plans.
- CareCredit & Cherry Financing: Break the root canal plus crown into manageable monthly payments through our financing partners.
- FSA / HSA Accounts: Root canals and crowns are fully IRS-eligible for pre-tax FSA and HSA payments. Pay with pre-tax dollars and reduce your real cost by your tax bracket.
- Dental Discount Plan ($199/year): 10% off root canals, crowns, and all services for uninsured patients. No waiting periods, no annual maximums. Savings start on day one. See plan details →
