When faced with severe tooth pain or decay, a root canal treatment (RCT) can be a saving grace, preserving your natural tooth and restoring your oral health. However, many people have questions about the RCT procedure and its cost. At DentalEazy, we aim to demystify this essential dental procedure and provide you with a clear understanding of what to expect, ensuring you receive the best care at a reasonable price.

 

1. Understanding Root Canal Treatment (RCT):

 

Root canal treatment is a procedure designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection, and save the natural tooth. During the procedure, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned, disinfected, and then filled and sealed.

 

- Why RCT is Necessary: It’s essential when the tooth's pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to abscesses and severe pain.

 

2. The Root Canal Treatment Procedure:

 

At DentalEazy, we follow a meticulous process to ensure the RCT procedure is as comfortable and effective as possible.

 

- Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of the infection and determine the necessity of RCT.

- Local Anesthesia: To ensure a pain-free experience, local anesthesia is administered to numb the affected area.

- Removal of Infected Pulp: Our skilled dentist will create an opening in the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp, which is then carefully removed.

- Cleaning and Disinfection: The root canals are meticulously cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any remaining bacteria.

- Filling and Sealing: The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material, usually gutta-percha, and sealed to prevent future infection.

- Restoration: A crown or filling is placed to protect the treated tooth and restore its full function.

 

3. Cost of Root Canal Treatment:

 

The cost of RCT can vary depending on several factors, including the tooth’s location, the severity of the infection, and the type of restoration required.

 

- Factors Influencing Cost:

    - Tooth Location: RCT on molars tends to be more expensive than on front teeth due to the complexity of the procedure.

    - Extent of Infection: More severe infections might require additional treatment and thus increase the cost.

    - Restoration Type: The cost can also vary depending on whether a simple filling or a full crown is needed after the RCT.

- Average Cost Range: At DentalEazy, we strive to provide affordable care without compromising quality. The cost for a root canal treatment typically ranges from ₹4,000 to ₹9,000, depending on the factors mentioned above. Our team will provide a detailed cost estimate during your initial consultation.

 

4. Insurance and Payment Options:

 

We understand that dental procedures can be a significant investment. At DentalEazy, we offer various payment plans and financing options to make RCT treatment accessible to everyone. Additionally, we accept most dental insurance plans and will assist you in understanding your coverage and maximizing your benefits.
