Factors Affecting Root canal treatment cost in Patna
The cost of a basic root canal treatment (RCT) in Patna can range from
₹3,000 to ₹8,000 per tooth at a private clinic. At government hospitals, the prices are significantly lower. The final price depends on the tooth's location and the procedure's complexity.
Estimated cost breakdown
The cost of an RCT can vary based on the tooth being treated:
Front Tooth: ₹3,500–₹5,000.
Back Tooth (Molar): ₹4,500–₹5,500. This is more expensive due to the more complex root structure.
Costs at different healthcare facilities
Government hospitals: Prices are significantly lower than private clinics. For example,
Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) lists the following RCT charges (plus disposable material costs):
Anterior tooth: ₹240
Posterior tooth: ₹600
CGHS-empanelled clinics: For beneficiaries of the Central Government Health Scheme, rates are fixed. As of July 2024, the rates were:
Anterior tooth: ₹575
Posterior tooth: ₹805

Let’s not forget about the pre-root canal procedures! A dentist won’t just dive into a root canal; they’ll carry out some X-rays, vitality tests, and even some time CBCT to identify the extent of the infection. All this will contribute to the overall cost of the root canal treatment.
The location of the tooth has a big impact on the root canal cost. The front teeth, i.e., the incisors and canines, are easier to access and have single roots than the molars at the back, with multiple roots. Therefore, a root canal treatment for the back teeth is more expensive than the front ones. The charges of root canal treatment of last molar or wisdom teeth is highest because it is difficult to get access to the root canal.
If you have a severe and deep-rooted infection, it may call for additional procedures like apicoectomy or placement of dental crowns. As a result, root canal costs can be heigher.
4. Instrumentation and techniques
Uses of Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) Files, Apex locator, Endomoter with reciprocation feature may increase the cost of root canal treatment.
5. Microscopes and Magnification Devices
Enhance visualization, allowing dentists to see intricate details within the tooth and perform more precise procedures, but on the other side it will increase the cost of RCT.
6. Ultrasonic Instruments:
Use high-frequency sound waves to remove debris and bacteria, especially in complex areas, leading to higher success rates. This improves irrigant penetration into hard-to-reach areas like isthmuses and lateral canals, and thus success of root canal treatment, but on the other side it will increase the cost of RCT.
7. Laser-Assisted Root Canal Treatment
We at Magadh Oro Dental Clinic adopted this advanced technology and it has significantly improved the precision, success rate, and patient comfort during root canal procedures. Unlike traditional methods that use drills, lasers allow endodontists to access and disinfect the root canal with a high degree of accuracy and minimizing damage to the surrounding tissues. Laser-Assisted Root Canal Treatment will be more costly than conventional root canal treatment.
8. Biocompatible Sealers Materials
Bioceramic Sealers: Offer superior sealing capabilities to prevent reinfection and enhance biocompatibility, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. Hydroxyapatite and Bioglass used in regenerative endodontic procedures to stimulate the healing and regeneration of dental tissues. The cost of these Biocompatible Sealers Materials is more than Gutta-Percha that is routinely used in root canal treatment.
A filling usually follows a root canal. Therefore, the filling material used for this procedure can also impact the price. The most common material is an amalgam or glass ionomer cement which is quite inexpensive. However, if you opt for a light cure composite or ceramic filling, that will be an added expense.
10. Dentist’s Expertise
If you’re getting your root canal done by an experienced and well-known Endodontist (root canal specialist), they will probably charge more than general dentists or small-scale dental clinics.
The area where the dental clinic is located also affects the average price of the root canal. For instance, if a clinic is situated in a rural area, the dentist might charge a tad bit less than a dentist in an urban area.
Our teeth have different numbers of canals, and if the infection spreads from one tooth to the other, the dentist will have to work on multiple canals. More canals mean additional time, effort, expertise, and of course, a higher cost!
Let’s not forget the importance of dental insurance! A root canal cost with insurance is always lesser than a root canal cost without insurance!
Therefore, if you don’t have dental insurance, you can easily expect the average root canal costs to be anywhere between ₹3500 to ₹8,000.
Note: Always confirm the total treatment cost, including the final crown, with your dentist during the initial consultation.
