Cost of Root Canal Treatment

The cost of RCT depends on the tooth (front or molar), location, and whether a crown is required. On average, the cost ranges from $300 to $1,500 per tooth in most countries. Front teeth are generally less expensive to treat than molars, which have more complex canal systems. If a crown is needed, that may add $500 to $1,500. Dental insurance often covers a significant portion of the cost. Although RCT may seem costly, it is often more affordable and beneficial in the long term compared to tooth extraction and replacement with bridges or implants.
