Usually one or two appointments

How a tooth actually gets saved.

A root canal has a reputation it stopped deserving decades ago. What it does is remove the infected nerve tissue that is causing the pain — the appointment is the thing that ends the ache, not the thing that causes it.

  1. 1 Diagnosis and 3D imaging

    Limited-field 3D imaging shows the root anatomy — how many canals there are and what shape they are in. That is what separates a standard case from a complex one.

  2. 2 The root canal

    Under local anaesthetic, the infected pulp is removed, the canals are cleaned and shaped, and they are sealed. Most people find it comparable to having a filling done.

  3. 3 Rebuilding the tooth

    A treated tooth is more brittle than a live one, so it needs a protective core buildup and, in almost every back tooth, a crown. Both are in the crown bundle price.

  4. 4 The ceramic crown

    A porcelain or ceramic crown is made and fitted, restoring the shape and the chewing surface. That is what turns a saved tooth into a tooth you can actually use.

If the tooth is hurting now, do not wait for a routine consultation — call and ask for a same-day emergency slot. AIDM® is open Monday to Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Who you will meet

The people behind the chair.

Board-certified faculty, specialists and residents working side by side — with endodontics and restorative dentistry in the same building, so the tooth is sealed and rebuilt as one plan rather than two.

Why it matters

The alternative is losing the tooth.

Once the nerve inside a tooth is infected, there are two honest options: clean the inside of the tooth out and seal it, or take the tooth out. Nothing else resolves it. Antibiotics quieten the symptoms and buy days, not a cure. Keeping your own root in your own jaw is the outcome every replacement option is trying to imitate.

  • Your own tooth holds bone and bite better than anything built to replace it
  • A single implant and crown starts at $3,750 — saving the tooth is usually the cheaper answer
  • Infection at a root tip spreads into bone; time makes it worse, not quieter

Comfort

The part people actually dread.

“Painful as a root canal” describes the toothache people arrive with, not the treatment. Under local anaesthetic the procedure itself is comparable to a large filling, and comfort, sedation and anxiety care is one of the things AIDM® is specifically known for.

  • Local anaesthetic is standard; sedation is available and quoted separately
  • Most cases are done in one or two appointments
  • Written aftercare, and someone to call if it does not settle as expected

Root canal pricing, published

The treatment, and the crown that finishes it.

A root canal without a crown is half a job on a back tooth — the tooth is saved but left brittle. The bundle prices below cover the treatment, the core buildup and the ceramic crown together.

Before you ask

Frequently asked questions.

Does a root canal hurt?
The toothache that sends you in hurts. The treatment is done under local anaesthetic and most people describe it as comparable to having a large filling done. Comfort, sedation and anxiety care is available if you want it, quoted separately from the treatment fee.
Why is the crown a separate price?
Because not every treated tooth needs one. A front tooth with a small access cavity may not; a molar that does the chewing almost always does, because a root-treated tooth is more brittle and splits if it is left unprotected. The bundle prices — $2,300 anterior, $2,400 premolar, $2,500 molar — cover the treatment, the core buildup and the ceramic crown together.
What makes a case “complex”?
Highly calcified canals, unusual root anatomy, or a tooth that has been root treated before and needs retreatment. Limited-field 3D imaging at your consultation is what identifies those, and the final fee is presented to you before any treatment is started.
Should I just have it pulled instead?
Rarely the better answer. Your own root maintains bone and bite in a way nothing else does, and replacing the tooth afterwards — a single implant and crown starts at $3,750 — usually costs more than saving it would have. There are teeth that genuinely cannot be kept, and you will be told plainly when yours is one.
How many appointments is it?
Most cases are completed in one or two. If a crown is part of the plan, that is fitted at a further appointment once the tooth has been rebuilt.
My tooth is hurting right now.
Call (737) 434-2436 and ask for a same-day emergency slot rather than booking a routine consultation. AIDM® keeps same-day emergency appointments, Monday to Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Will a student be treating me?
You will be treated by a licensed dentist. AIDM® is a teaching institute with endodontics as a named programme, so residents in advanced postgraduate training treat under the direct supervision of licensed clinical faculty. That two-clinician model is why the published fee is what it is.
Can I use insurance?
AIDM® accepts many PPO plans. Package pricing applies only to the services listed and cannot be combined with insurance benefits, membership pricing or other discounts unless expressly stated — at your consultation the team will show you both routes so you can pick whichever leaves you better off.
