We are very aware that root canals are not fun – from the
initial tooth infection to the recovery time. One factor that can certainly
contribute to the lack of enthusiasm patients experience is the cost of the
cost of root canal in Los Angeles. The following is information regarding this
factor in treating an infected tooth.
There are several factors that affect the pricing of root
canal treatments. These factors include:
• Location
(Where in the country, city vs. country, etc.)
• Which
tooth (molar, incisor, bicuspid)
• Your
insurance coverage
• Number of
follow up appointments needed
• And more
The type of tooth needing treatment is not a factor due to
the level of access. A molar does not cost more than an incisor because it is
harder to reach. Rather, it has to do with the size of the tooth. The front
teeth are smaller and have only one canal to clean out, whereas the back teeth
have as many as three.
A root canal can cost as much as $1,100 for a front tooth,
$1,800 for a bicuspid, and $2,000 for a molar. Again, these numbers can also be
affected by the other factors listed above.
