HOW MUCH DOES ROOT CANAL THERAPY COST?

If dental insurance can’t help cover the cost of a root canal, Lincoln Dental Plans can. The cost of a root canal depends on the position of the tooth. Our dentists at Nebraska Family Dentistry will walk you through the cost of treatment. Our plans allow patients to receive the treatment they need, even without dental insurance. This makes affordable dental care accessible to everyone.

Lincoln Dental Clinic: Causes of a Root Canal

Most of the time, infection, and inflammation in the center of a tooth causes root canals. The most common cause of this is a cavity that reaches the nerve at the tooth’s root. A regular cavity won’t cause any discomfort. But if a cavity reaches the nerve, it will cause a toothache. At this point, root canal therapy is necessary. If a patient leaves decay untreated, their tooth will become inflamed and often cause a dental abscess. Large fillings or crowns and severe trauma can also warrant the need for a root canal.

This is where your dentist will come into the picture. If decay or trauma needed to be treated in the past, dentists would have to remove the tooth. However, in modern dentistry, our general root canal dentists in Lincoln dental clinics can perform a root canal and place a crown much of the time. This saves your tooth instead of removing it, so patients can still use their teeth like normal.

FAQs to Root Canal Dentists about Root Canals in Lincoln Dental Clinics


Does root canal therapy hurt?

Root canal therapy utilizes anesthesia, which numbs the patient’s mouth. Oral Sedation dentistry ensures that the patient is comfortable and relaxed. This method utilizes the option for prescription oral sedation along with a blend of aromas, blankets, pillows, and headphones. These factors all help contribute to a pleasant dental experience.

Is root canal therapy better than a dental implant?

If a tooth is not too severely infected, root canal therapy is a great option. At times, a tooth that is very severely infected or inflamed will require extraction and an implant instead of root canal therapy. The correct treatment option will be determined depending upon the condition of the tooth.
