Save your natural tooth — and stop the pain
A root canal treats infection deep inside a tooth, in the soft pulp that holds its nerve. Instead of removing the tooth, we clean out the infection, disinfect the canals, and seal them — keeping your own tooth in place. Today's techniques make the visit about as routine as a filling, and it relieves the throbbing that brought you in.
What to expect
- Exam & X-ray. We confirm the diagnosis, explain your options, and numb the area completely.
- Treatment. The infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, then sealed.
- Protect the tooth. A crown is usually placed afterward so the tooth can bite and chew normally for years to come.

Root canal FAQs
Root canal questions, answered
How much does a root canal cost in Royal Palm Beach?
A root canal at our Royal Palm Beach office typically ranges from $700 to $1,500 depending on which tooth is treated and the number of canals. A crown is often recommended afterward and is quoted separately. We verify insurance and give you a written estimate first.
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canals feel much like getting a filling. We fully numb the area and, for anxious patients, offer nitrous oxide. Most people say the procedure actually relieves the pain they arrived with.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canals are completed in one or two visits of about 60 to 90 minutes. If an infection needs to settle first, we may schedule the final step a short time later, and a protective crown usually follows.
Root canal or extraction — which is better?
Saving your natural tooth with a root canal is almost always preferable to removing it. If the tooth cannot be saved, we discuss extraction and replacement options such as an implant or bridge so you understand every choice.
Does insurance cover root canal treatment?
Most dental plans cover a portion of root canal treatment because it is restorative, not cosmetic. We verify your benefits before treatment and offer in-house financing for any remaining balance.
