In our office, we're able to do 95% of the root canal therapy in our office. There's very few that we refer to an endodontic specialist. These are procedures that we normally perform on a daily, routine basis. And there's questions that patients want to know. Should I get a root canal? How long does a root canal last and what is the cost? Generally, I would say root canal therapy is a great, great option for saving a tooth. The reason is, is in many cases it's a lower cost option compared to an implant. Most dental insurances tend to cover root canal therapy and some dental insurances do not cover implants. So root canal therapy can be a great option for saving a tooth rather than extraction.
