On the live best-dental-savings-plans procedure table, a root canal is listed at $900–$1,500 retail. The same table’s published savings on that column: Careington $180–$900 (20–60%), Humana $135–$750 (15–50%), Aetna $135–$750 (15–50%), Cigna $180–$750 (20–50%), 1Dental $180–$900 (20–60%). Those are ranges, not a quote. This page does not invent a different root-canal price.

Source: /best-dental-savings-plans procedure table. This page restates that table. It does not replace it.
The comparison hub applies each plan's published savings percentage to national retail ranges. For root canals the retail column is $900–$1,500. We are copying that row — not deriving a new “you pay $X” number that the table does not print.
| Plan | Savings % | Root canal ($900–1,500) |
|---|---|---|
| Careington | 20–60% | save $180–$900 |
| Humana | 15–50% | save $135–$750 |
| Aetna | 15–50% | save $135–$750 |
| Cigna* | 20–50% | save $180–$750 |
| 1Dental | 20–60% | save $180–$900 |
*The best-plans footnote says Cigna is the only plan there that publishes exact verified procedure prices on its review (a cleaning $55–$80, a crown $580–$920) — that footnote does not publish a Cigna root-canal fee, so we do not invent one.
Careington 500: $129/169/189 a year (individual / couple / family) plus a $20 one-time processing fee. That is plan JSON, not a new partner. 1Dental runs on the same Careington network on the best-plans table.
/answers/how-much-does-a-root-canal-cost — that second slug would cannibalize this one.The best-dental-savings-plans procedure table uses a retail root-canal band of $900–$1,500. On that same table, Careington and 1Dental list $180–$900 saved (20–60%); Humana and Aetna list $135–$750 saved (15–50%); Cigna lists $180–$750 saved (20–50%). Those are published savings ranges, not a quote for your ZIP code.
The column header on the best-plans table is “Root canal ($900–1,500).” That is the retail band this answer restates. We are not adding a different national average on this page.
They discount the fee at participating dentists. There is no insurance claim and no annual maximum on the savings-plan side. Activation on this site is typically 1–3 business days. Confirm the endodontist or dentist is in-network before you enroll.
That slug is also a live 404. Shipping both would split the same query. This is the only root-canal cost answer we are adding — the slug already linked from keep-reading on the best-plans page.
