What Endodontics means for Columbus residents

Endodontists are tooth-saving specialists. They diagnose and treat pain inside the tooth — the pulp and nerve tissue. Their most common procedure is root canal therapy, but they also handle complex cases like retreating failed root canals, treating traumatic dental injuries, and performing apicoectomies (surgical root procedures). Endodontists complete 2–3 years of additional training focused on internal tooth disease and pain management.

In Columbus, 24 verified endodontics practices serve the community, and 1 publishes accepted-insurance information. Across the Columbus endodontics practices compared on this page, the strongest predicted dimension is technology, based on verified signals.

When should you see a endodontics?

See an endodontist if you have severe tooth pain, especially when biting or with hot/cold that lingers, swelling near a tooth, or a tooth that's darkened after an injury. Your general dentist will refer you if a root canal is needed, but you can also schedule directly if you're experiencing symptoms.

Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canal therapy is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Endodontists use local anesthesia to completely numb the tooth and surrounding area. Most patients report that the procedure itself is painless, and the relief from the severe toothache that brought them in is immediate. Any post-procedure soreness is typically managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Why see an endodontist instead of a general dentist for a root canal?
Endodontists perform root canals every day — it's their specialty. They use advanced technology like operating microscopes, 3D imaging (CBCT), and ultrasonic instruments that general dentists typically don't have. For straightforward cases, a general dentist can perform a root canal effectively. For complex anatomy, calcified canals, or retreatments, an endodontist's specialized expertise leads to better outcomes.
How much does a root canal cost?
Root canal costs depend on which tooth: front teeth (incisors) $500–$1,100, premolars $600–$1,300, molars $800–$1,600. Molars are more expensive because they have more canals and are harder to access. Most dental insurance covers 50–80% of root canal treatment. A crown is usually needed afterward ($800–$2,500 additional).
What are signs I might need a root canal?
Key signs include: severe tooth pain when chewing or applying pressure, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold (pain lingers after the stimulus is removed), a pimple-like bump on the gum near the tooth, darkening or discoloration of a tooth, and swelling or tenderness in nearby gums. However, some teeth needing root canals have no symptoms — only an X-ray can confirm.
Can a root canal fail?
Root canals have a success rate of about 90–95% when performed by a specialist. Failures can occur if the tooth has complex anatomy that wasn't fully cleaned, if the crown or filling leaks and allows recontamination, or if the tooth cracks. Endodontists can often save a failed root canal with retreatment or an apicoectomy (surgical root procedure).
