Root canal costs in London

How we understand the cost of saving your tooth

Dental pain is often a sign that an infection has reached the nerve. Left untreated, these infections can spread to adjacent teeth and become serious. We provide root canal treatment to stop this spread, remove the infection, and preserve the natural tooth. Molars typically have three to four root canals, so they cost more to treat than front teeth. To identify the precise cause of your pain, we use 3D CBCT imaging and microscopic examination to detect incomplete fractures or cracked tooth syndrome. You can find more detail on endodontics in London to see how we manage complex cases.

Whether you need a first-time procedure, root canal retreatment, or an apicoectomy, the final cost depends on the complexity of the tooth anatomy. Dr Patel uses pulp vitality tests and non-invasive sensibility tests to gauge nerve response before building your targeted treatment plan, which cuts down the need for exploratory treatment. We also provide care for dental trauma and luxation for teeth that have been displaced or damaged.

Specialist planning for root canal pricing

Pricing for endodontic work varies with the complexity of the tooth and the specific clinical need. You receive a diagnosis-first consultation and an itemised quote before any treatment begins, so there are no unexpected costs and no unnecessary procedures. Dr Patel leads the planning process to decide whether you need a pulpotomy for partial pulp removal or a full root canal. Where a previous treatment has failed, we provide root canal retreatment to save the natural tooth.

Who can benefit from root canal treatment

Saving a natural tooth is almost always the priority. We treat patients facing the risk of tooth loss or dealing with the discomfort of an infected nerve, in a calm environment if the procedure makes you anxious. Dr Patel assesses whether the tooth can be saved or whether a different approach is needed. In some cases we carry out a root amputation to remove a compromised root, or, for persistent inflammation, an apicoectomy. Dr Patel decides the best path at your clinical assessment.

Your root canal process

Endodontic clinical assessment

We begin by examining the tooth to see whether the nerve is infected. This stage identifies the cause of your pain and confirms whether the tooth is saveable. We use CBCT 3D imaging to map the internal anatomy of the root, so we see every canal before we start.

Cleaning the infected canals

We remove the damaged pulp and bacteria from inside the tooth to stop the infection. This may take more than one visit depending on the complexity of the case, and we are upfront about how many appointments are likely.

Managing tooth fractures

Some cases involve structural damage. If we find a break, we assess whether cracked tooth treatment is needed to stabilise the root, addressing it early to stop the tooth failing.

Sealing the root space

Once the canals are clean, we fill them with a biocompatible material. This seals the tooth against further bacteria and stops the infection returning, and the tooth is then closed with a temporary or permanent filling.

Final tooth restoration

A tooth that has had root canal treatment often needs a crown to regain its strength. We place a restoration that protects it from fracturing under pressure, keeping the tooth functional for the long term.

Clinical precision and proven outcomes

We use operating microscopes, precision instruments, and modern materials to disinfect canals and treat infected tooth pulp, alongside bioactive materials that stimulate dentine bridge formation and support pulp healing.

This precision lets us provide microsurgery that preserves the natural tooth and restores oral health. The practice is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071). We also provide a range of advanced interventions, including root canal retreatment, apicoectomy, and care for dental trauma or cracked teeth.

Root canal treatment concerns

How much does root canal treatment cost?

Fees vary with the complexity of the tooth. We provide a full breakdown of costs at your initial consultation, where we assess the infection and plan treatment.

How long does it last?

The goal is to save your natural tooth for the long term. We use a microscopic examination to detect cracks and confirm the root is thoroughly cleaned, which helps prevent future failure.

Which materials do you use?

We use clinical materials designed to remove inflamed pulp and bacteria from the tooth. This stops the infection spreading and seals the canal to protect the inner structure.

Why do costs differ?

Costs depend on which tooth needs treatment. Front teeth often have a single canal, while molars are more complex, with multiple canals that need more time and precision.

Arrange your root canal assessment

We confirm the exact cost of treatment at a clinical examination. Dr Patel assesses the tooth to identify what your case needs. You can see what happens at your root canal consultation and how to book to secure your appointment.
