You searched for root canal cost in Delhi and you want a number. We understand. But here is why Goyal Dental Care does not publish a fixed price — and why that is actually in your interest.
Why RCT Cost Cannot Be Fixed
Root canal treatment cost depends entirely on which tooth needs treatment. Every tooth has a different number of canals:
| Tooth Type | Canals | General Idea |
|---|---|---|
| Front teeth (incisors) | 1 canal | Lower cost |
| Canines | 1 canal | Lower cost |
| Premolars | 1-2 canals | Mid range |
| Molars (back teeth) | 3-4 canals | Higher cost |
General idea: ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 depending on tooth type. Exact cost only after examination and X-ray.
The Problem With Clinics That Quote Fixed RCT Prices
You will see clinics advertising "RCT ₹1,500" or "RCT ₹2,000 flat". This is a marketing tactic. When you arrive, they either:
- Add extra charges for X-ray, crown, medication — final bill is 3x the quoted price
- Do a rushed, incomplete RCT — canal not fully cleaned — infection returns
- Use older techniques without proper rotary equipment
Real Cases — What Patients Experienced
Case 1 — Mangolpuri, 2024: Patient came after RCT done elsewhere at "₹1,200 flat". Pain returned after 3 months. On examination, one canal was missed entirely. We had to redo the RCT. Cost of redo: ₹4,500. "Pehle ₹1,200 bachaye the, ₹4,500 lage baad mein."
Case 2 — Budh Vihar, 2025: Young woman, front tooth RCT needed. Simple case — 1 canal, minimal infection. Treatment completed in one sitting, 45 minutes. Crown placed after 1 week. She told us she had been quoted prices from ₹1,800 to ₹6,000 at different clinics. She chose us for the explanation we gave her — what, why, and how much — before starting.
Case 3 — Rohini, 2025: Molar RCT — 4 canals, deep infection. Complex case needing 2 sittings. Patient was initially hesitant at the cost. Dr. Ritu Goyal showed him on X-ray exactly what was happening — 4 canals visible, infection extent visible. "Jab dekha toh samajh aaya ki 2 baithak kyun chahiye." Patient completed treatment, tooth saved, now with zirconia crown.
What Happens After RCT — Crown is Essential
After root canal treatment, the tooth becomes brittle. Without a crown, it can crack or break. Zirconia crowns at Goyal Dental Care start from ₹5,000 — metal-free, natural-looking, durable for 15+ years.
