What Our Clients Say
At Dental Line, root canal treatments start from $825. The final cost depends on the location of the tooth (front tooth vs. molar) and the complexity of the canal structure. We believe in transparent pricing and offer affordable payment options and flexible financing to ensure you can receive urgent care without financial delay. We also work with most PPO dental insurance plans to help minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
Contrary to popular belief, a root canal is designed to eliminate pain, not cause it. Using advanced localized anesthesia and modern techniques, Dr. Irena Starchenko ensures the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling. Our goal is to remove the infected or inflamed tissue causing your toothache and restore your comfort immediately.
Common signs that you may need a root canal include persistent, throbbing pain, extreme sensitivity to hot and cold that lingers, swelling or tenderness in the nearby gums, or darkening of the tooth. During your consultation in our Encino office, we use digital X-rays to identify if the internal pulp is infected and requires treatment to save the tooth from extraction.
Yes. We understand that severe tooth pain is often a dental emergency that cannot wait. Dental Line offers same-day treatment options for patients in significant discomfort. Our office on Ventura Blvd is equipped with the latest diagnostic tools to identify the issue and provide relief as quickly as possible.
Saving your natural tooth is always the preferred option for your long-term oral health. A root canal preserves your natural bite and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting, which can cause jaw issues later. While an extraction may seem simpler, it often leads to higher costs down the road for implants or bridges needed to fill the gap.
Most patients return to their normal activities the very next day. You may feel some mild sensitivity for a few days as the surrounding tissue heals, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. We typically recommend a dental crown after a root canal to protect the treated tooth and restore its full strength and function.
With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Irena Starchenko provides precise and thorough restorative care. We use modern technology, including digital radiography and ultrasonic tools, to ensure the procedure is efficient and comfortable. At Dental Line, we focus on providing a calm, stress-free environment where your relief and long-term oral health are our top priorities.
