For most teeth that can be saved, endodontic treatment is more conservative and more cost-effective than extraction plus a replacement. Here is the side-by-side at a glance.
| Consideration | Root Canal Therapy | Extraction + Replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Saves your natural tooth | Yes | No |
| Preserves jawbone density | Yes | Bone loss begins after extraction |
| Number of visits | 1–2 | 3+ (extraction, healing, implant or bridge) |
| Total time to restore function | 2–4 weeks | 3–6 months for an implant |
| Typical out-of-pocket range | $1,100–$1,800 + crown | $3,000–$6,000 with implant + crown |
| Recovery time off normal activity | 24–48 hours | 1–2 weeks |
