Root canal cost in Indirapuram & Ghaziabad
Root canal treatment starts from ₹5,500, and the cap that protects the tooth afterwards starts from ₹5,500. So a root canal with a crown starts from ₹11,000, which is the figure to plan around for a back tooth. Below is what moves that number, what the fee covers, and how saving the tooth compares with taking it out.
What a root canal costs at our clinic
The treatment and the crown are charged separately, because they are two stages of the same job. Both are shown below, along with the combined figure, so nothing appears later that you were not told about.
| Stage | Starting cost |
|---|---|
| Root canal treatment Treatment only. The cap that protects the tooth afterwards is charged separately. | From ₹5,500 |
| Crown after root canal Protects the treated tooth from fracture once the canals have been sealed. | From ₹5,500 |
| Root canal with crown Treatment and cap together. This is the usual complete cost for a back tooth. | From ₹11,000 |
Why two figures and not one. Some clinics advertise a root canal price that turns out to exclude the cap, so the cost roughly doubles by the time the tooth is finished. We would rather you saw the complete number here than discovered it at the chair. Your written plan confirms both stages before treatment begins.
Six things that move your root canal quote
Understand these and you can compare two clinics properly, instead of comparing headline numbers that cover different things.
Which tooth is being treated
Front teeth usually have a single canal, premolars often two and molars commonly three or four. More canals means more instrumentation, more irrigation and a longer appointment, so the tooth involved is the single biggest influence on the fee.
Whether the tooth is infected
A tooth with an active infection at the root tip needs dressing and time before the canals can be sealed predictably. That often means a second sitting, which is planned and quoted at the assessment rather than added later.
Whether it is a retreatment
Reopening a tooth that was root treated elsewhere means removing the old filling material and any posts before the canals can be cleaned again. Retreatment takes longer than a first-time root canal and is quoted separately.
The crown material you choose
The cap fitted afterwards can be metal-ceramic or full ceramic such as zirconia. Front teeth usually justify a more translucent ceramic for appearance, while back teeth prioritise strength. The material changes the crown cost, not the root canal cost.
Whether a post is needed
When very little natural tooth remains above the gum, a post inside the canal helps retain the core that the crown sits on. Not every tooth needs one, and we tell you at the planning stage if yours does.
How much tooth structure is left
A tooth broken well below the gum line may need additional work before it can hold a crown, or may not be restorable at all. That assessment happens before treatment starts, so you are not paying towards a tooth that cannot be saved.
Save the tooth or take it out
A painful tooth usually comes down to three routes. They differ in what happens to the natural tooth, what happens to the bone underneath, and what the whole thing costs once the gap is dealt with.
| Root canal and crown | Extraction and implant | Extraction, nothing replaced | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your natural tooth | Kept in place | Removed and replaced with titanium and ceramic | Removed, leaving a gap |
| Number of appointments | One or two, plus the crown fitting | Surgery, months of healing, then the crown | One appointment |
| Jawbone under the tooth | Keeps the root, so the bone keeps its load | The implant transmits chewing force into the bone | Loses its load and gradually reduces in volume |
| Effect on other teeth | None | None | Neighbouring teeth tend to drift towards the space over time |
| Upfront cost | Lowest of the three | Highest | Lowest on the day, with cost deferred |
| Cleaning | Brush and floss as normal | Brush and floss as normal | Normal, though food traps in the gap |
What the root canal fee covers
Set out before treatment begins, so you can see what is in the quote and what is not.
- Consultation and examination with Dr. Saket Gaurav
- Radiograph of the tooth to assess the canals and the root tip
- A written treatment plan with the full cost before anything begins
- Local anaesthesia, with the painless protocol used at every sitting
- Cleaning and shaping of the canals with rotary instrumentation
- Irrigation, dressing where an infection needs settling, and sealing of the canals
- A temporary restoration between sittings where treatment runs over two visits
- Written aftercare and a review appointment
What painless actually means here
When we say painless, we are describing the anaesthesia protocol, not making a promise about how a particular tooth will behave. The tooth and the tissue around it are numbed before any instrument goes near a canal, and the anaesthesia is topped up if the appointment runs long.
Rotary instrumentation shortens the time the canals take to clean and shape. Most patients find the ache they arrived with settles during the visit, and the aftercare you are given covers what to expect over the following days.

The questions we hear most often at the clinic and on WhatsApp, answered plainly.
How much does a root canal cost in Indirapuram?
At Dr. Saket's Dental Makeover in Indirapuram, root canal treatment starts from ₹5,500 for the treatment itself. The crown that protects the tooth afterwards starts from ₹5,500, so a root canal with a crown starts from ₹11,000. A firm quote follows an examination and radiograph of the tooth.
Does the root canal price include the cap?
No. Root canal treatment from ₹5,500 covers cleaning, shaping and sealing the canals only. The cap, or crown, is a separate stage charged from ₹5,500. Together the usual completed cost starts from ₹11,000, which is the figure to plan around for a back tooth.
Why is the root canal quoted as two figures instead of one?
Because a root canal and the crown that follows it are two separate stages of treatment. Publishing only the treatment fee would leave a patient expecting ₹5,500 and paying closer to ₹11,000 once the tooth is finished. Both stages appear on the written plan before treatment begins.
Is a root canal painful?
Root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia, which numbs the tooth and the surrounding area for the whole appointment. Most patients find the discomfort they arrived with settles during the visit. Painless here describes the anaesthesia protocol used, not a promise about how any individual case will feel afterwards.
Do I always need a crown after a root canal?
A root treated back tooth is more brittle than a healthy one and normally needs a crown to protect it from fracturing under chewing load. Front teeth carry less force and are assessed case by case, so a crown is not automatic for every tooth.
Can a root canal be completed in one visit?
Many straightforward cases can be finished in a single sitting. Teeth with an active infection at the root tip, or with complex canal anatomy, are often treated across two visits so the canals can be dressed and settled before they are sealed.
How long does a root canal appointment take?
A single canal front tooth takes less chair time than a molar with three or four canals. The number of canals and whether the tooth is infected determine the appointment length, and the plan given at the assessment sets out how many sittings your tooth needs.
What happens if I delay root canal treatment?
An untreated infection inside a tooth continues along the root and can reach the surrounding bone. A tooth that could have been saved with a root canal can, if left long enough, reach a point where extraction is the only option, which then leaves the cost of replacing the tooth.
Is a root canal cheaper than removing the tooth?
Extraction on its own costs less on the day. Replacing the missing tooth afterwards with an implant and crown costs considerably more than saving the original tooth, so keeping the natural tooth is usually the lower total cost as well as the more conservative option.
What is a root canal retreatment and does it cost more?
Retreatment means reopening a tooth that was root treated previously, removing the old filling material and any post, then cleaning and sealing the canals again. It takes longer than a first-time root canal and is quoted separately after the tooth has been assessed.
How long does a root treated tooth last?
A root treated tooth that is properly restored, usually with a crown, and maintained with routine hygiene and check-ups can serve for many years. Longevity depends on how much natural tooth structure remained, the restoration placed on it, and everyday habits such as biting hard objects.
Can I get a written quote before starting treatment?
Yes. Every patient at Dr. Saket's Dental Makeover receives a written treatment plan setting out the root canal, the crown and any additional work, with costs, before treatment begins. The firm quote follows the examination and radiograph.
