Prices

How much does root canal treatment cost for Perkasie patients?

Root canal treatment is published at $600 to $1,500 including the crown. That estimate is confirmed after the examination, since the tooth, infection level, and any added imaging or sedation can change the plan. For comparison, a crown alone is published at $1,000 to $2,000 per tooth, while an implant is $3,500 to $6,000 each. If the tooth can be saved, a root canal may keep the total treatment simpler than replacing the tooth later.

Pain check

When does a tooth need root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment is used when the tooth nerve is infected, inflamed, or badly damaged, often from deep decay or a crack. Alpha Dental Excellence has four dentists at one address, and the team treats more than 27,000 patients since 2004. Warning signs can include lingering hot or cold sensitivity, biting pain, swelling, or a tooth that hurts on its own. In Bucks County, that kind of pain usually justifies a prompt exam instead of waiting for it to settle.
Common signs
Pain that lingersIf cold or heat keeps hurting after the trigger is gone, the nerve may be involved.
Swelling or pressureSwollen gum tissue or a feeling of pressure can signal infection around the root.
Pain when chewingBiting pain often means the tooth structure is compromised and needs evaluation.
Darkening toothA tooth that changes colour after trauma or decay may need canal treatment.
Visit details

What happens during a root canal visit?

The visit usually starts with an exam and imaging, then the infected tissue is removed, the canal is cleaned, and the tooth is sealed for repair. At this office, the sedation consultation is complimentary and includes a CBCT scan plus a panoramic X-ray. Many cases need a crown after the canal is treated, which helps protect the tooth for daily chewing. Dr. Arpan Nalin Patel, DMD, earned his DMD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004 and has more than 22 years of experience.
Typical steps
DiagnosisThe dentist checks the tooth and uses imaging to confirm the source of pain.
CleaningThe canal space is cleaned to remove infected or inflamed tissue.
SealingThe tooth is sealed so bacteria have less chance to return.
RestorationA crown may be recommended to strengthen the tooth after treatment.
Comfort

What sedation options are available for nervous patients?

Oral and IV sedation are both available in house for patients who feel anxious or have a difficult procedure ahead.
