Dealing with intense tooth pain or infection? Our St. Louis emergency dental team provides same day root canal treatment to relieve pain and save your tooth quickly.
A root canal is a non-surgical endodontic treatment performed under local anesthesia to rescue and restore a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed.
Infection can enter a tooth through a crack, a deep cavity, or a defective filling, causing inflammation of the dental pulp. These situations often signal that root canal treatment is necessary.
When you choose us for your root canal treatment, you’ll benefit from a full-service dental team—all in one location, all focused on your comfort and outcomes.
We help make care affordable and accessible with dental insurance and third party financing.
Walk-ins welcome for dental emergencies and appointments that work for your busy schedule – get in today.
Our dentists and endodontists keep your smile healthy with individualized, compassionate care all under one roof.
The cost of root canals can change based on where you need the root canal and who is performing the treatment.
The location of your root canal is the biggest cost indicator. An anterior root canal located near the front of your mouth typically costs less than a molar root canal.
If a root canal was previously performed on the affected tooth, or if the infection requires surgery, your cost could be impacted.
The cost of a root canal varies based on who is performing the treatment; specialists will have a higher fee from general dentists.
Have questions about the root canal treatment process? Learn the basics here such as, do root canals hurt and how does a root canal work?
We’ll start with a consultation to examine the affected tooth, take X-rays and discuss your care plan.
So that you’re comfortable during the procedure, the affected area is numbed with a local anesthesia.
Infected dental pulp is removed and the tooth’s root canals are disinfected and shaped.
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed with a permanent filling.
For your best recovery, or if you need a crown, your dentist may schedule follow-up appointments.
Your dentist and endodontist may recommend dental fillings, dental crowns or other dental services as part of your root canal therapy plan.
