Root Canal Treatment in Indore
Root canal treatment (RCT) is often feared but rarely painful with modern techniques. It saves an infected tooth and removes the source of pain. At Dream Smile Dental Clinic, Dr. Shailly Nimbark completes straightforward RCT cases in a single visit of 60-90 minutes.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Severe throbbing toothache, especially at night
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold (30+ seconds)
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Gum swelling or a pimple near a tooth
- Dark or grey tooth
RCT Cost in Indore
| Tooth | RCT Cost | With Crown |
|---|---|---|
| Front tooth | Rs 3,000-5,000 | Rs 6,000-12,000 |
| Premolar | Rs 4,000-7,000 | Rs 8,000-15,000 |
| Molar | Rs 6,000-12,000 | Rs 12,000-22,000 |
Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?
No. The infection causes the pain - RCT removes the source. With modern local anaesthesia and rotary instruments, the procedure feels similar to a filling. Post-treatment soreness for 2-3 days is managed with standard pain relief.
RCT vs Extraction
Extracting a tooth creates a gap that causes adjacent teeth to shift. Bone loss starts immediately and within 6 months 25% of bone width is gone. Replacing the tooth with an implant costs Rs 25,000-55,000 - far more than RCT + crown. Saving your natural tooth is almost always the better long-term decision.
FAQs
Do I need a crown after root canal?
Yes for back teeth - it is mandatory to prevent fracture. Front teeth may use a filling.
How long does RCT take?
60-90 minutes for front teeth in one visit. Molars may need two visits. Crown is placed at a separate appointment.
Can a root canal fail?
RCT has a 95%+ success rate with a specialist. Rare failures can usually be retreated.
