the Price of a Root Canal and Crown

I had a root canal done on one tooth and then had a crown put on it. I went to an oral surgeon for both procedures. The total cost was $4500.00.

I did not have dental insurance at the time I needed to have my root canal and then my crown on a tooth that was really bothering me. I knew I'd have to pay out of pocket but didn't want to just go with solely the cheapest place to get it done.

I found a few places close to me and then did a search on the internet for consumer reviews of the places I'd narrowed it down to. What the average patient had to say about the different oral surgeons had a lot to do with the surgeon I chose.

In this case, my process for choosing a doctor turned out great. The person I choose had a lot of positive comments that he had a great bedside manner. This was important to me as I'm terrified of the dentist. It was certainly true of him. He wasn't the cheapest but he put me at ease and the extra cost was well worth it.

When it comes to something like your teeth, it's a good time to spend a little extra money to make sure you are getting the best care possible.
