The cost of a root canal in Amritsar depends mainly on which tooth is involved and whether you need a crown afterwards. Below are realistic 2026 price ranges, what drives the cost, and how we keep treatment affordable with clear, written quotes.

Price Guide
Final cost depends on the tooth and the crown placed afterwards. Book a consultation for an exact, written quote.
What Affects the Cost
Which tooth
Molars have three or four canals and take longer than single-rooted front teeth, so they cost more.
Canal anatomy
Curved, narrow or extra canals need more time, skill and sometimes a CBCT scan.
Fresh RCT vs re-treatment
Re-doing a previously failed root canal is more complex and costs more than a first-time treatment.
Crown material
The crown placed afterwards (metal-ceramic, zirconia or e.max) affects the total.
Imaging needed
Most cases need a simple X-ray; complex ones may need a 3D CBCT scan.
Payment & Financing
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a molar root canal more expensive?
Molars have more canals (usually three or four) than front teeth, so they take more time, skill and materials.
Is the crown included in the root canal cost?
Not always. Some quotes are for the RCT only. We offer RCT + crown packages and always tell you what's included up front.
Is a root canal cheaper than an implant?
Yes. Saving your natural tooth with an RCT and crown is almost always cheaper than extracting it and replacing it with an implant later.
Can I pay for my root canal in instalments?
Yes, EMI options are available, especially for RCT-plus-crown treatment. Ask our team during your consultation.
Does insurance cover root canal treatment?
Some dental and health plans partially cover RCT. Bring your policy details and we'll help you understand what may be reimbursable.
