Root Canal Therapy in Roseville: Costs and Information

Root canal therapy, despite what you might have heard, is a straightforward treatment that aims to save your tooth and eliminate dental pain.

If you have a tooth root infection, you’ll notice some or all of the following symptoms:

• Toothache or growing sensitivity
• Jaw or facial swelling
• A bump or blister on the gum
• Tooth discolouration or darkening

Remember, you don’t have to have every symptom to be diagnosed with a tooth root infection, so we encourage you to report oral changes to your Roseville dentist.

Root Canal Therapy Steps

A root canal infection is often a dental emergency, particularly when accompanied by pain and swelling, which is why we offer prompt emergency dentistry in Roseville to provide immediate relief.

These are the steps:

1. Assessment and diagnosis
2. Administering local anaesthesia
3. Clearing the infection from your canal
4. Rinsing the root chambers
5. Closing the tooth temporarily

After a few weeks, you return to our dental clinic for a tooth-coloured filling or dental crown.  

We only use a filling if the tooth infection is emerging and does not compromise the tooth's structure. In most cases, you’ll need a custom dental crown.

Root Canal Costs in Roseville: Pricing at a Glance

The cost of root canal treatment depends on how many canals the tooth has. Front teeth usually have one canal, while back teeth can have up to four. At Roseville Dental and Implants, root canal treatment costs $1,100 for one canal, $1,400 for two, $1,800 for three and $2,000 for four. Back teeth usually need a crown afterwards, which is priced separately. Your final cost may differ depending on your case, and we’ll confirm it after your assessment. See our full Service Fees.

Lower Your Tooth Infection Risks with Healthy Habits

You can lower your risk of root infections by visiting your Roseville dentist every six months, brushing and flossing at least twice daily, and adopting a diet low in sugar and acidity.
