What To Expect

Decided from what the X-ray shows

Single sitting, 45 to 90 minutes

When the tooth is inflamed but not abscessed. Back to work or college the same day.

Two sittings, a week apart

When there is pus or swelling that must settle first. The result is the same either way.

Crown within one to two weeks

Tenderness on biting for two to four days, managed with what we advise.

Failed root canal from elsewhere

Re-treated here, planned on our in-house CBCT scan. ₹7,000 to ₹12,000.

A Cochrane review comparing the two schedules (2022) found no clear difference in healing.

Step By Step

How the treatment runs

  1. 1
    Numb and open

    Local anaesthetic, and we wait until the tooth is fully numb. Then a small opening to reach the nerve.

  2. 2
    Clean and measure

    A rotary endomotor shapes each canal. An electronic apex locator measures it to the root tip, confirmed on RVG, so nothing is left behind or pushed beyond the root.

  3. 3
    Seal

    Canals are disinfected and sealed with gutta-percha so bacteria cannot get back in.

  4. 4
    Rebuild and cap

    A filling closes the tooth, a post and core if it needs one, and the crown goes on within one to two weeks.

Before You Decide

What we tell every patient
before we start

Three things we say at the consultation, whether or not they are asked. If any of them changes what you want to do, that is the right time to know.

Book your consultation

The crown is part of the treatment: a root-treated back tooth without a crown cracks and is lost at around six times the rate of a crowned one (Aquilino and Caplan, Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2002).

Most root-treated teeth last for years: pooled studies put survival at 86 to 93 percent over two to ten years (Ng and colleagues, International Endodontic Journal, 2010). The failures are usually a missed canal, a leaking filling, a crack or no crown.

Some teeth should not be root treated: cracked through the root, too broken down to hold a crown, or surrounded by severe bone loss. There we advise removal and, if you want it, an implant or bridge. Individual results vary with the tooth and how soon the crown is placed.

Root canal treatment in Coimbatore: quick answers

The tooth is fully numbed first. You feel pressure and vibration, not pain from the tooth, and most patients find it more comfortable than the toothache that brought them in. Mild tenderness on biting for a few days afterwards is normal.

Yes, when the tooth is inflamed but not abscessed. With pus or swelling we treat over two visits a week apart. We tell you which applies after the X-ray.

For molars and premolars, yes. For a front tooth that has lost little structure, a strong filling is sometimes enough, and we will tell you when that is the case.

With a well-fitted crown and normal care, commonly ten years or more, and many last a lifetime. Individual results vary.

Keep the tooth if it can be kept. A root canal and crown preserve your own root and bite and cost less over time than removing and replacing the tooth. We advise extraction only when the tooth cannot be saved.

₹5,000 to ₹7,500 for the root canal by tooth type, plus the crown by material. Re-treatment is ₹7,000 to ₹12,000. Prices are indicative and confirmed after clinical examination.

Milk teeth get a shorter procedure called a pulpectomy, covered on our children's dentistry page.
