Extraction or Root Canal
in Phoenix, AZ
A tooth extraction at Sonoran Dental Arts in Phoenix is $240–$340 and a root canal is quoted after an exam. Pulling the tooth is cheaper on the day, and usually dearer once you add replacing it. Dr. Field confirms your exact price in writing after an exam.

An exam and an x-ray decide it, and you get the figure for both routes in writing.

The day-one comparison is the misleading one
An extraction here is $240–$340. That is the smallest number in this decision, which is why it is the one people reach for. Root canal treatment is quoted after an exam rather than published, because what it involves varies more than a single starting figure would honestly describe.
What the gap costs you later
A tooth you chew on does not stay a gap for long without consequence. The teeth either side drift, the bite changes, and the bone under the space thins. Replacing it means an implant from $2,000 or a bridge from $3,000. Set that against saving the tooth you already have and the arithmetic usually turns over.
When pulling it really is the answer
Some teeth cannot be saved. A crack running below the gumline, a root that has broken, or bone loss that has gone too far all point one way, and no amount of treatment changes it. Dr. Field will tell you plainly which side of that line your tooth sits on.
How the decision gets made
An x-ray and an exam. You get the extraction fee and the root canal figure together, in writing, and treatment waits for your yes. Nobody has to decide this while a tooth is throbbing and the numbers are unknown.
Common questions
Is it cheaper to pull a tooth or have a root canal?
On the day, pulling it. An extraction here is $240–$340. Once you add replacing the tooth, an implant from $2,000 or a bridge from $3,000, saving it is usually the cheaper path.
How much is a root canal in Phoenix?
It is quoted after an exam. We publish no starting fee for it, because what it involves varies more than one number would usefully describe.
Can I just leave the gap?
For a back tooth you chew on it tends to cost you later: neighbouring teeth drift, the bite changes and the bone under the space thins.
How do I find out which my tooth needs?
An x-ray and an exam. You get the figure for both routes in writing before anything is done.
