Root Canal Cost by State (2026)

A root canal in the United States typically costs $1,475 if you pay cash, from about $903 in West Virginia to $2,800 in New York. A negotiated price usually lands between $562 and $1,614 depending on the state. Every state is in the table below.

What this covers

A root canal removes the infected pulp inside a tooth, cleans the canals and seals them. The figures here are for a molar (CDT code D3330), the most common and most expensive kind; a front tooth is usually cheaper because it has one canal instead of three or four. The crown that often follows a root canal is a separate charge, covered on the dental crown page.

A negotiated price usually lands between $562 and $1,614 depending on the state.

Clear Care has no fixed member rate for this procedure. When you book through the app, your concierge negotiates the price with the practice on your behalf and you see it in a treatment plan before anything happens. The negotiated range in the table is where negotiated prices in that market usually land; it is a guide, not a quote.

Why the range is so wide

• Which tooth. Molars have more canals and take longer than front teeth.
• Who does it. An endodontist, the specialist, usually charges more than a general dentist.
• Where you live. Rent and wages set the floor for every practice, which is why the table above runs from state to state.
• What comes after. Most root canals on a back tooth need a crown, which is priced on its own.

What a Clear Care member pays

A root canal is not one of the included visits. It is a negotiated procedure: your concierge agrees the price with the practice before treatment, and you pay the practice that price. No claim form, no waiting period, and no annual maximum to hit first.

How to get a real number for your tooth

1. Check the price in the app. The price check shows the typical range for your ZIP code, with and without the membership.
2. Request the visit. Your concierge calls the practice, including the dentist you already see, and negotiates the price.
3. Read the treatment plan. The negotiated price arrives in the app before treatment. Accept it or decline it; nothing is charged until you say yes.

Where these numbers come from

These are estimates, not quotes. They come from dental fee data we track for each state's largest metro area , last updated August 2026. Your own dentist's price, and the price your concierge agrees, will differ.
