Root canal treatment at DentoCorrect starts from PKR 8,000 for a front tooth, PKR 15,000 for a premolar and PKR 28,000 for a molar — rotary endodontics that clears infection and saves the tooth.

Whether you are experiencing sudden toothache, lingering sensitivity, or a swollen gum, our qualified dentists and endodontists across Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Peshawar are ready to diagnose, treat, and restore — backed by ISO-certified clinical protocols.
The root canal treatment price in Pakistan is set by which tooth is involved, since molars have more canals to clean and seal than front teeth. That is why the RCT price runs from PKR 8,000 at the front to PKR 28,000 at the back; your exact RCT cost is confirmed once the X-ray shows what the tooth needs.

Root canal treatment — also known as endodontic treatment or RCT — is a dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects, and seals the canals to prevent re-infection. The goal is to save your natural tooth rather than extract it.
Root canal treatment is needed when the dental pulp — the soft tissue inside your tooth — becomes infected, inflamed, or dies. This happens when decay is left untreated, the tooth suffers trauma, or a crack allows bacteria to reach the inner tissue. You may need a root canal if your dentist diagnoses RCT:

Not all root therapy cases are identical. DentoCorrect's endodontic approach is tailored to the tooth, the number of canals, and the severity of infection.
The most common procedure. Single-canal teeth (front incisors and canines) are simpler and faster; multi-canal teeth (molars with 2–4 canals) require more time and precision. Completed in 1–2 sessions, depending on the severity of infection.
Our process follows a structured clinical protocol designed for precision, patient safety, and long-term outcomes. Every step is explained clearly before it begins.
Your dentist performs a thorough examination of the affected tooth and surrounding tissues. Digital X-rays assess the root canal anatomy, extent of infection, and surrounding bone health, giving us the complete picture needed for accurate treatment planning. In complex cases, CBCT 3D imaging may be recommended.
The area around the tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia so the entire procedure is comfortable and pain-free from start to finish.
A small access hole is created in the crown of the tooth. Using rotary endodontic files — electrically driven nickel-titanium instruments — the infected or inflamed pulp is carefully removed from all canals. The rotary technique is faster, more precise, and creates less procedural stress than manual filing.
Each canal is cleaned, shaped, and disinfected with irrigating solutions to remove all bacteria and debris, then dried in preparation for sealing.
Once clean and dry, the canals are filled with gutta-percha — a biocompatible, rubber-like material — and sealed with adhesive cement. The access cavity is then closed with a temporary or permanent filling to protect the tooth until crown placement.
A treated tooth becomes brittle, so a custom crown is usually recommended to protect it and restore full chewing function. You leave with clear aftercare guidance and a follow-up plan.
Root canal treatment outperforms tooth extraction across every dimension that affects your long-term oral health and quality of life:
No prosthetic matches the function and feel of your own tooth. RCT preserves what is already there.
The procedure eliminates the source of infection — the pain ends with the treatment, not after days of worsening.
Natural tooth roots stimulate the jawbone. Extraction without replacement leads to gradual, irreversible bone deterioration.
Untreated infection spreads. RCT stops bacterial spread before it reaches neighbouring teeth or jawbone.
A crowned, treated tooth functions identically to a natural one — no dietary restrictions, no discomfort.
RCT + crown is typically more affordable than extraction + implant when total long-term cost is considered.
Patients often ask whether it is better to save a tooth with a root canal or simply extract it. Here is a straightforward comparison.
| Feature | Root Canal Treatment | Tooth Extraction |
|---|---|---|
| Keeps Natural Tooth | Yes | No |
| Pain Relief | Immediate & permanent | Immediate |
| Preserves Jawbone | Yes | No — bone loss over time |
| Affects Adjacent Teeth | No | Can shift / require bridge |
| Long-Term Cost | Lower (RCT + crown) | Higher (extraction + implant) |
| Chewing Function | Fully restored | Reduced until replaced |
