Root Canal Treatment Cost in Kolkata (2026): Price, What’s Included and What Affects It

Root canal treatment at Ur’s Toothfully costs ₹5,000 to ₹7,000, with a crown charged separately. Here is what the fee covers, why the price varies between teeth, and how to compare quotes in Kolkata.

Overview

If a dentist has told you that you need a root canal, two questions usually come first: will it hurt, and how much will it cost? Modern root canal treatment is done under local anaesthesia and feels much like having a filling (read why in our guide to painless root canal treatment). This article answers the cost question clearly, so you know what to expect before you book.

Root canal cost at Ur’s Toothfully

Root canal treatment: ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 per tooth (indicative).

Crown after root canal: charged separately. Zirconia crowns start from ₹9,500.

Your exact fee is confirmed in writing after an examination and X-ray, before treatment starts. There are no hidden charges, and we explain what each part of the treatment covers.

What the root canal fee covers

A root canal treatment includes the examination and diagnostic X-rays needed to plan it, local anaesthesia, cleaning and shaping of the canals, disinfection, sealing the canals and a filling to close the tooth. Ask your dentist to confirm whether review visits are included and whether a crown is recommended for your tooth.

Why the price varies from tooth to tooth

Number of canals: front teeth usually have one canal, while molars can have three or four, so molar treatment takes longer.

Complexity: curved, narrow or calcified canals, or a severe infection, need more time and care.

Re-treatment: redoing an old root canal that has failed is more involved than a first treatment.

Technology: techniques such as microscope-assisted root canal treatment help find and clean every canal, which improves the chance of long-term success.

The crown: the material you choose for the final crown is often the biggest variable in the total cost.

Do you always need a crown after a root canal?

Back teeth (premolars and molars) usually need a crown, because a root-treated tooth is more brittle and takes heavy chewing forces. Front teeth with plenty of healthy structure can sometimes be restored with a filling alone. Your dentist will advise based on how much tooth is left. We also offer same-day CEREC crowns, so in many cases the tooth can be finished in a single visit.

What happens during treatment

After numbing the tooth, the dentist makes a small opening, removes the infected or inflamed pulp, cleans and shapes the canals, disinfects them, and seals them. Many root canals are completed in one or two visits. Afterwards the tooth may feel tender for a few days, which settles with simple pain relief.

Signs you may need a root canal

Lingering pain or sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, a toothache that wakes you at night, swelling of the gum or face, a pimple on the gum, or a tooth that has darkened. Treating early often means a simpler procedure and saves the natural tooth. See also why root canal treatment is done.

Root canal or extraction?

Removing a tooth can seem cheaper at first, but replacing it later with a bridge or dental implant costs considerably more, and leaving a gap can let neighbouring teeth drift. Where a tooth can be saved, a root canal is usually the better long-term value.

How to compare root canal quotes in Kolkata

When comparing clinics, check that the quote states the price per tooth, what is included (X-rays, visits, the filling), whether a crown is recommended and what it costs, the experience of the dentist doing the treatment, and the technology used. The lowest headline price is not always the lowest total cost.
