Toothache can be tough to grapple with — especially when the pain persists despite painkillers or home remedies. If you’ve called your dentist and are being recommended a root canal, your first thought is probably thinking — “How much is this going to cost?”. This is a fair question, and it’s also a question we get asked often at Partha Dental.
Most people don’t start thinking about root canals until they are in pain — not just discomfort but the kind of pain that makes you consider not eating, or even sleeping! And once your dentist says, “root canal”, the next thing you probably think about is: “How much am I going to be out of pocket?” Again, a fair question, and the answer isn’t straightforward.
This guide is written to help you understand the actual cost of root canal treatment in Hyderabad — what you’re paying for, what is worth knowing, and ways to ensure you’re not left out of pocket
1. What Is a Root Canal and Why Is It Needed?
Before we go into costs, it is helpful to understand what a root canal actually is.
A root canal is a procedure designed to treat infected or inflamed tooth pulp. When pulp becomes infected through deep decay, cracks or trauma, you may be in pain and have swelling and occasionally abscesses.
A root canal allows your dentist to remove the pulp, clean, and seal it, while preserving the whole tooth, instead of pulling it.
2. When do you need root canal treatment in Hyderabad?
• Constant or throbbing pain in a tooth
• Sensitivity to heat or cold that lasts
• Gum or facial swelling
• Tooth discolouration
• A pimple like bump on the gums (may indicate an abscess)
• Pain when chewing or touching tooth
Act quickly … the earlier you intervene into a problem may save the tooth without complications.
What is Root Canal Treatment Cost in Hyderabad – What Should You Know
Now that is said and done, let’s get to the big question: What is RCT Cost in Hyderabad?
Like other dental treatment, root canal Cost will depend on an array of factors, such as:
• Which tooth? (front, premolar, in this case, molar)
• Whether it has one root or multiple roots
• If it was a case of re-treatment (for previously failed RCT)
• Experience of the dentist or endodontist
• Type of crown is being placed after RCT
• Location and reputation of the dental clinic
3. Average RCT Cost in Hyderabad (2025)
Type of Tooth & the Estimated Cost Range
Front tooth (1 canal): ₹2,500 – ₹4,000
Premolar (2 canals): ₹3,500 – ₹5,500
Molar (3+ canals): ₹5,000 – ₹8,000
Re-RCT Cases: ₹6,000 – ₹10,000
Crown (optional): ₹2,000 – ₹8,000+
Note: These are average estimates. But at Partha Dental, we offer payment flexibility options, with no cost EMI, and regular promotions to keep your treatment affordable.

Molars (the back teeth) “typically” have three or more roots. This makes the procedure quite challenging. Cleaning out and sealing of all the canals in the molar takes time and skill; hence the higher cost. Often, if the patient is delayed to seek treatment until the initial severity has increased, this could also mean re-treatment or compromised surgery, leading to increased costs.
What is Included in your Total Cost for a Root Canal Treatment?
While doing your due diligence on RCT costs in Hyderabad, you must check what is included in the total costs. Some clinics only price the cleaning procedure while others may have ongoing packages, including:
• X-rays or diagnostic scans
• Local anaesthetic
• Full cleaning and shaping of the canal
• Sealing of the canals
• Temporary or permanent filling
• A crown or cap (as applicable)
Partha Dental have clear and open pricing and we always have no hidden agendas in pricing – and we are able to walk you through a treatment plan / itemised list of every step prior to commencing treatment.
5. What about Crowns? Are they required?
In most cases (especially molars), a dental crown is highly recommended post RCT. After a root canal, the tooth will get more brittle over time and will crack if not protected, so crowning the tooth will provide the protective cap needed to maintain the function and the appearance.
Types of crowns and pricing approximately:
• Metal Crown: ₹2,000 – ₹3,000
• Zirconia (Metal-Free): ₹7,000 – ₹12,000
• Porcelain Fused to Metal : ₹3,500 – ₹6,000

6. Is RCT reasonable?
To be blunt, if your natural tooth can be preserved, it is almost always reasonable.
The cost of replacing a missing tooth (implants or dental bridges) is always going to be more than a root canal. If you take care of your RCT teeth, they’ll last for years, if not lifetime use.
While the costs may seem high in the first instance, treat the root canal costs as an investment in your future oral health.

Q2: How much does a single RCT cost in Hyderabad?
A: The typical price for a single-root canal treatment in Hyderabadwill be in the range of ₹2500 to ₹4000 depending on the clinic where the work is done, and depending on how difficult the case is.

A: Yes, for many modern root canal treatments, if the cause of the infection is simple, treatment can start and finish in a single sitting.
