No Malibu office in our index has patient reviews that specifically describe root canal treatment yet, so this page does the next most useful thing: it lists the Malibu offices worth calling first, then the closest practices whose patients do describe this treatment. For prices, questions to ask and how to choose, the citywide Root Canal Treatment guide covers it all.
General practices in Malibu, ranked by rating and review volume. Their reviews do not specifically mention root canal treatment yet, so confirm by phone. Most general dentists either provide it or refer to someone trusted who does.

None of the Malibu offices we track have recent reviews that specifically describe root canal treatment yet, which is not the same as nobody offering it. Most general practices handle it or refer well, so call the top rated Malibu offices above and ask directly, or start with the nearby practices whose patients do describe this treatment.
The procedure itself shouldn't, the tooth is fully numbed, and most patients report pressure rather than pain. Some soreness for a few days afterward is normal and typically managed with ibuprofen. The severe pain people associate with root canals is usually the infection before treatment, which the procedure resolves.
Extraction is cheaper on day one ($150, $450 vs. $1,000, $1,800 plus a crown), but replacing the missing tooth with an implant later costs $3,500+. If the tooth is restorable, saving it with a root canal is almost always the better financial and clinical decision.
Pricing in Malibu generally tracks the citywide ranges on our Root Canal Treatment guide. Westside offices tend to sit near the top of those ranges while offices further east and in the Valley often come in lower. Always ask for a written treatment plan with the total case price before agreeing.
