About root canal treatment

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, clean the root canals and seal them to prevent further infection. It's one of the most common restorative dental treatments in the UK, often used when deep decay, infection or trauma has affected the tooth's nerve.

What moves the price
Tooth & treatment typeBack teeth are more involved than front teeth - molars have several canals and bigger restorations, so they cost more.
ComplexitySevere decay or infection, awkward access and re-treatments take more time and skill, which pushes the price up.
Clinic & locationPrivate fees run higher in London and other big cities, and a specialist charges more than a general dentist.
What’s includedCrowns, X-rays or scans, sedation and follow-up visits are often quoted separately - always check the full fee.
