Got told a root canal and a filling cost about the same over 10 years and I don't buy it
My dentist in Columbus handed me a printout from some dental school study last Tuesday that said a root canal and crown runs about the same over a decade as pulling the tooth and doing an implant. I sat there thinking that can't be right, so I pulled up the actual paper when I got home and the numbers were wild. The study put the 10 year implant cost near $4,800 with the crown and bone graft, and the root canal plus crown around $2,900 if nothing goes wrong. Honestly it made me feel better about saving the tooth, but I still think the study lowballs the root canal side because it doesn't count a redo. Has anyone here actually seen one of these cost studies hold up in real life?
