Root canals have a bad reputation, but modern root canal treatment is virtually painless and saves millions of teeth every year. The procedure removes infected tissue from inside the tooth, eliminating pain and preventing the need for extraction. Metro Detroit has many skilled providers who make the experience comfortable.
Experience matters with root canals. Our platform helps you find dentists and endodontists (root canal specialists) who consistently receive positive reviews for their gentle technique and painless procedures. We also highlight practices that offer sedation for patients who are anxious about the procedure.
How We Rank These Practices

Modern root canals are comparable to getting a filling. The area is completely numbed, and many patients report feeling no pain during the procedure. Sedation options are also available for anxious patients.
Root canal treatment typically costs $700 to $1,200 for a front tooth and $1,000 to $1,800 for a molar. Most dental insurance plans cover a significant portion of root canal costs.
Most root canals are completed in one visit lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Molars with multiple canals may require a longer appointment or a second visit.
General dentists perform many root canals successfully. However, complex cases like molars with curved canals or retreatments are best handled by an endodontist who has specialized training and equipment.
