There is no fixed price for a root canal. The price varies according to the tooth affected, the anatomical complexity of the case and the number of sessions needed, evaluated by the dentist before starting the procedure.
A root canal on a single-rooted tooth tends to be simpler than one on a molar with multiple canals, and that difference is directly reflected in the quote presented.
Check the main elements the dentist considers when putting together the quote for your root canal treatment.
The number of canals varies by tooth (incisors usually have fewer canals than molars), which influences the complexity of the procedure.
Curved, calcified or hard-to-reach canals may require more time and technique from the professional.
Some treatments are completed in a single session, others require more than one appointment, depending on the case.
When there's already a previously treated canal that needs to be redone, the procedure tends to be more complex than an initial treatment.
After the root canal, the tooth usually needs a restoration or crown, which adds to the overall treatment quote.
The tooth affected, the anatomical complexity and the number of sessions needed vary from patient to patient. A generic price list found online doesn't account for these particularities of your case.
Schedule an in-person evaluation with the clinic you choose. Only after examining the affected tooth, with imaging exams when needed, can the dentist present a detailed quote for your case.
Once you have the quote in hand, you can decide whether you'd rather pay for the treatment in installments. CredOdonto acts as an intermediary for the dental credit analysis application for root canal treatment.
Approval, amounts, rates and conditions always depend on the individual analysis of each application, subject to the criteria of the partners responsible for the operation.

Yes, treatments completed in a single session tend to have a different quote than treatments that require more than one appointment.
Not always. Confirm with the clinic whether the quote presented already includes the final restoration or whether it's charged as a separate stage.
Retreatment tends to be more technically complex, which can be reflected in the price, but that depends on the evaluation of each case.
Ask the clinic directly whether the amount presented includes exams, anesthesia, the sessions needed and the final restoration, to avoid surprises later.
