Root canal treatment cost in Coimbatore
How much does RCT cost in Coimbatore at our Vadavalli clinic?
| Tooth | Our root canal price | Why it differs |
|---|---|---|
| Front tooth (incisor or canine) | ₹5,000 to ₹6,500 | One canal, easiest access, shortest sitting |
| Premolar | ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 | One or two canals |
| Molar | ₹6,000 to ₹7,500 | Three or four canals, longer sitting |
| Wisdom tooth | ₹6,000 to ₹7,500 | Hard to reach; often removal is the better plan |
| Re-treatment of an earlier root canal | ₹7,000 to ₹12,000 | Old filling removed, missed canal found, planned on CBCT |
Prices are indicative and confirmed after clinical examination.
Most patients search for molar root canal cost, because molars are the teeth that most often need it. A molar takes longer and has more canals, which is why it sits at the top of the range.
Root canal with crown cost: the total most patients actually pay
| Combination | Total range at our clinic |
|---|---|
| Front tooth root canal with a PFM crown | ₹11,000 to ₹15,500 |
| Front tooth root canal with an E-max crown | ₹19,000 to ₹36,500 |
| Molar root canal with a metal crown | ₹9,000 to ₹12,500 |
| Molar root canal with a PFM crown | ₹12,000 to ₹16,500 |
| Molar root canal with a zirconia crown | ₹15,500 to ₹42,500 |
We quote the two together because the crown is part of the treatment for a back tooth, not an optional extra. A root-treated molar left without a crown is lost at around six times the rate of a crowned one (Aquilino and Caplan, Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2002), which turns a saving of a few thousand rupees into an extraction and an implant later.

What the root canal price includes, and what it does not
| Included in the root canal figure | Priced separately |
|---|---|
| Local anaesthetic and the full cleaning, shaping and sealing of every canal | Consultation, ₹300 to ₹500 |
| Rotary instrumentation and electronic length measurement | RVG X-ray, ₹200 to ₹300 |
| The temporary filling that closes the tooth | CBCT scan where needed, usually for re-treatments, ₹1,000 to ₹4,000 |
| The second sitting, where the tooth needs two | Post and core where the tooth has lost a lot of structure, confirmed at the visit |
| The crown: metal ₹3,000 to ₹5,000, PFM ₹6,000 to ₹9,000, zirconia ₹9,500 to ₹35,000, E-max ₹14,000 to ₹30,000 |
What moves the root canal price up or down
- 1
Which tooth. Front teeth have one canal; molars have three or four. More canals, more time.
- 2
First treatment or re-treatment. Removing an old filling and finding a missed canal takes longer and is planned on a CBCT scan first.
- 3
How much tooth is left. A tooth broken down to the gum needs a post and core to hold the crown.
- 4
The crown material. Metal for an out-of-sight molar, PFM as the everyday choice, zirconia or E-max where strength or looks matter more.
- 5
One sitting or two. The number of sittings does not change our price; the tooth decides it, and the second sitting is included.
Why is one clinic's root canal so much cheaper? Check whether the figure covers all the canals and the second sitting, whether a crown is even mentioned, and whether the tooth is measured electronically or by guess. A cheap root canal that fails is the most expensive one.
Is a root canal worth the cost against removing the tooth?
We recommend keeping the tooth whenever it can be kept. A root canal and crown together cost ₹9,000 to ₹42,500 depending on the tooth and material; removing the tooth and replacing it with an implant and crown starts at ₹35,000 plus the crown. Pooled studies put root-treated teeth at 86 to 93 percent survival over two to ten years (Ng and colleagues, International Endodontic Journal, 2010), so the cheaper option is also the one that keeps your own root.
Some teeth should not be root treated: cracked through the root, too broken down to hold a crown, or surrounded by severe bone loss. We say so before you pay for a treatment that will not last. Individual results vary.
Paying for root canal treatment
The root canal is paid at the sitting and the crown at fitting, usually one to two weeks later, so the cost is spread across the visits. We accept cash, UPI, debit and credit cards and net banking.
We tell you the figure for your tooth after the X-ray and before we start, and if the plan changes during treatment, we tell you before the cost does.
