If you live in a city, you could have many endodontists to choose from. DenScore will help you find the best endodontist so you can get the most appropriate and affordable care.

What is an endodontist and when should I see one?

Endodontists are specialists trained to perform root canals and other procedures to treat dental infections. When a tooth becomes infected due to a large cavity or trauma, a root canal is often required to save the tooth. After a root canal is completed, a crown or an access filling is typically placed as the final restoration to protect the tooth. If you need a root canal, ask your family dentist to explain which type of restoration is best for you.

How does DenScore determine who the best endodontists are?

DenScore rates endodontists based on clinical qualifications, patient satisfaction, scheduling flexibility, and other criteria. While endodontists may request inclusion in our directories, they are thoroughly vetted and must meet our strict quality control standards to be listed. Some of the endodontists listed below may pay for a sponsored listing or agree to put a DenScore badge on their website in order to be recognized, but they are held to the same strict quality control guidelines as every other provider on this list. Whether you choose an endodontist from this list or not, we always recommend doing your own research beforehand. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Service.

Will dental insurance help me save money on root canals?

Most dental insurance plans cover about 50% of the cost of root canals if you see an in-network provider. For families with Medicaid, root canals are typically covered for children. However, in some states, Medicaid does not cover root canals for adults. For elderly patients, regular Medicare does not include dental care, but many Medicare Advantage plans cover procedures like root canals, helping seniors save on dental expenses. If you’re looking for a dental insurance plan to help you save the most on dental care, we created this checklist for you!

What are other ways to spend less money on dental care?

The best way to save money on dental care is to prevent problems from starting in the first place. Maintaining good oral hygiene, limiting sugar intake, and avoiding tobacco products will keep your teeth and gums healthy over time. If you don’t have dental insurance, some dentists offer membership plans that make dental care more affordable. Additionally, dental prices can vary widely, so we recommend calling a few dental offices to compare costs for the same procedure when paying with cash.

What else do I need to know about root canals?

If a tooth is infected, there are some situations where extracting the tooth may be a better option than having a root canal. While some general dentists do root canals, it’s often beneficial to see an endodontist. Endodontists receive advanced training and typically have more experience in these specialized treatments compared to general dentists.
