Why Are Root Canals So EXPENSIVE?

Had a root canal done by a Denver endodontist today. Lateral lower incisor: $980!! Took the guy half an hour to complete and he didn't even do a permanent restoration; now I'll have to fork out another couple of hundred dollars (or more) for that.

What other profession earns almost $2,000 per hour???!!

I understand. I had two root canals and then ended up having both those teeth extracted. I feel like I am paying for a car that I don't even own. I know they go to school for many years to do what they do. but it sure is tough when the average patient just can't afford it.

I live near st Louis and I need another root canal . He charges $1400 for a premolar. I wish I could find someone cheaper but since he is really good at what he does (at least I think so, I am never in pain really) I just go to him.

I have no insurance and he won't give any discount for all cash.
Then I will need a crown of course and there is another 1200-1600 in st louis
