Treatment
Root canal treatment
When decay or a crack reaches the nerve inside a tooth, root canal treatment removes the infection and saves the tooth instead of taking it out.
- From
- ₹6,500
- Visits
- 1–2, plus a crown visit if needed
- Time in the chair
- 60–90 minutes per visit
- Recovery
- Tender for a few days; chew on the other side until it settles.
What it is
Inside every tooth is soft pulp containing nerves and blood vessels. If bacteria reach it, it becomes inflamed or infected, which causes the deep, throbbing pain many people know.
We remove the infected pulp, clean and shape the canals, and seal them. Most back teeth then need a crown to protect them from cracking.
Who it’s for
- Severe or lingering toothache, especially at night
- Sensitivity to hot drinks that lasts after the drink is gone
- A swelling or small ‘pimple’ on the gum
- A tooth that has darkened after an injury
Step by step
What happens
Diagnosis
An X-ray and a few simple tests to confirm which tooth is affected and why.
Numbing
Numbing gel first, then local anaesthetic. We don’t start until the tooth is fully numb.
Cleaning the canals
The infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped, with the tooth isolated so it stays clean and dry.
Sealing
The canals are filled and sealed, and the tooth gets a filling.
A crown, if needed
Back teeth usually need a crown, fitted at a separate visit.
Cost
₹6,500–₹12,000
The typical range for root canal treatment. After your consultation you get a written estimate, and that’s the price you pay.
What affects the price
- Front teeth have fewer canals and cost less than molars
- Re-treating a tooth that has had root canal treatment before
- A crown is priced separately, from ₹7,500
Questions
Good to know
Wouldn’t it be simpler to take the tooth out?
Usually not. Keeping your own tooth is almost always better for chewing and for the teeth around it, and replacing an extracted tooth with an implant costs more than saving it. If a tooth can’t be saved, we’ll tell you honestly.
Why do I need a crown afterwards?
A root-treated back tooth is more brittle and can crack under chewing forces; a crown holds it together. Front teeth often don’t need one.
