Root Canal Treatment in Louisville
A root canal, also called endodontic treatment or therapy is a dental procedure to help save a tooth with inflamed or infected pulp tissue. If you are having pain while chewing, swollen gums, or sensitivity, you may need this procedure. Our expert Louisville based endodontic team is standing by to save your natural tooth and improve your overall oral health.

Why Do I Need A Root Canal?
If you have swelling, discoloration, severe pain, or sensitivity in your gums or teeth, you may need a root canal. Here are some common reasons for this endodontic therapy:
- Deep Cavity - A basic cavity is a decay near the surface - which can usually be handled with a filling. When the decay/infection reaches the pulp of your tooth, a root canal may be needed to save the natural tooth. Left untreated, you may need an extraction and replacement such as an implant or bridge.
- Cracked or Chipped tooth - Whether it’s from chewing on some hard food, a physical trauma/accident, or pressure from teeth grinding, if a crack extends all the way to the pulp of the tooth, the dentist may recommend a root canal.
- Nerve Tissue Damage - The dental pulp can die from an accident/injury that causes trauma to the nerve tissue. Those with dental crowns are particularly sensitive to this.
It is important to remember that you may still need a root canal even if you are experiencing no pain. This is why it is important to have routine exams to ensure our team can look out for infection or damage.
If you are unsure whether your tooth pain is caused by the need for a root canal or something else but need relief fast, you can schedule an emergency exam.
How Much Does a Root Canal Cost?
Before seeking treatment, you may have concerns over the price of endodontic therapy in the Louisville area. But the sooner you seek relief, the more money you are likely to save!
The price of a root canal procedure will vary based on the complexity of the affected tooth. Molars for example, are more complicated to treat and therefore the treatment plan cost will reflect that. An anterior root canal (canines or bicuspid teeth), is likely to be cheaper.
In many cases, a root canal is cheaper than a tooth extraction, since you do not need a replacement such as implant or bridge. This is why it is important to act quickly and seek restoration before the tooth is beyond saving.
Our team at Moore Smiles Family, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry will work with you to make sure you understand the price of your root canal treatment before you consent to care. We sometimes have specials for emergency exams or new patients, so call and find out today.
