Common Questions About Root Canals
(Top questions based on what patients like you ask most—focusing on cost, pain, and anxiety relief.)
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canals are virtually painless with advanced anesthesia. Most patients compare it to a routine filling. Anxious? We offer nitrous oxide or oral sedatives.
Is a root canal worth the cost?
Yes. Root canal ($1,300-2,000) plus crown ($800-1,500) is cheaper than extraction + implant ($4,000-6,000+). Preserves your jawbone and lasts a lifetime. We accept insurance and offer payment plans.
Should I get a root canal or have my tooth pulled?
Saving your natural tooth is usually best—better function, lower cost, no bone loss. Dr. Phan provides honest recommendations after 3D imaging evaluation.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Signs include persistent pain, lingering sensitivity, swelling, or darkened tooth. Even without symptoms, infection can exist. Our 3D CBCT imaging confirms diagnosis.
What are the steps in a root canal procedure?
Anesthesia/sedation → Remove infected pulp → Clean and seal canals → Crown placement by your dentist. Completed in 1-2 visits with minimal downtime.
Insurance & Payment Options
We make root canals accessible and stress-free by working with your insurance, providing honest cost estimates after thorough 3D imaging reviews.
