Root Canal Treatment

Root canal therapy removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects, and seals the canal to save the tooth. Pricing varies based on tooth location — front teeth (single canal) are simplest and cheapest, premolars cost more, and molars (3–4 canals) are the most complex and expensive. Whether microscope-assisted endodontics is used significantly increases precision and cost. Most patients also need a crown after root canal treatment, which is typically quoted separately. Public hospitals in China offer root canal therapy at remarkably low prices compared to Western countries, often 70–80% less, with experienced endodontists handling high case volumes daily.
