Understanding your options

Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and is usually followed by a crown on back teeth. It aims to save a natural tooth that might otherwise need extraction. Complex cases, such as curved canals or retreating an earlier root canal, may be handled by an endodontist using magnification.

Questions for your consultation

  • Can the tooth be saved, and what is the long-term outlook?
  • Is this a first treatment or a retreatment, and who will perform it?
  • Will I need a crown, and can it be completed before I fly home?

Cost of Root Canal Treatment in India

An individual estimate needs a defined plan and provider review. Ask for a written breakdown rather than comparing package names alone.

  • Tooth type, as molars usually have more canals than front teeth
  • Retreatment or complex anatomy
  • Post, core build-up, and crown

Confirm what is included, quotation validity, possible additional charges, and cancellation terms. Allow separately for accommodation, travel, local transfers, coordination fees, and care after returning home.

Recovery and follow-up planning

Mild tenderness for a few days is common. Allow enough time to complete both the root canal and the permanent crown, often about one to two weeks depending on the laboratory.

Common questions

It is done under local anaesthetic and usually feels similar to having a filling. Some soreness afterwards is common.

At first, but replacing a missing tooth with an implant or bridge usually costs more. Ask about both options.
