What is a root canal?

A root canal removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects and seals the canals. It is done to save a natural tooth that would otherwise need to come out. Most back teeth need a crown afterward.

Root canal: specialist or general dentist?

Many general dentists perform root canals, especially on front teeth and premolars. Endodontists are root canal specialists with 2–3 extra years of training. They are often recommended for molars with curved or hidden canals, retreatments, and teeth with unusual anatomy.

None of Goose Creek's 25 clinics offering root canals list an endodontist on staff in our data yet. See endodontists in Goose Creek

How much does a root canal cost in Goose Creek?

Typical ranges in USD for Goose Creek, SC. Your price depends on the tooth, the case and the clinic.

Basis: DentistsRanked estimate from typical fees, adjusted for South Carolina. Ask the clinic for a written estimate.

Do general dentists in Goose Creek do root canals?

Is a root canal covered by insurance or Medicaid in South Carolina?
