Root Canal Treatment Cost in Kankurgachi, Kolkata — 2026
Zirconia/all-ceramic crowns cost more than metal-ceramic but look more natural. Final quote depends on infection severity and imaging findings.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Persistent toothache, especially when biting or chewing
- Sharp sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the stimulus is removed
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth
- A darkening or greying tooth
- A recurring pimple-like bump on the gum
If you notice any of these, don’t wait — untreated infection can spread and may eventually require extraction instead of a save.
Why Root Canal Treatment Doesn’t Hurt Anymore
The old reputation for painful RCT came from hand-filed canals and limited anaesthesia decades ago. At Dr. Agarwal’s Esthetic Zone Dental Clinic, treatment uses rotary endodontics — motor-driven, flexible nickel-titanium files that clean canals faster and more precisely than manual tools — combined with modern local anaesthesia. Most patients say the appointment feels no different from a filling.
Step-by-Step Root Canal Process
- Diagnosis: Digital X-ray to confirm the infection and map the canal structure.
- Anaesthesia: The tooth and surrounding gum are fully numbed.
- Access & cleaning: A small opening is made and rotary files clean out infected pulp from each canal.
- Disinfection & filling: Canals are disinfected and sealed with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha).
- Crown placement: A crown is fitted (same visit or a follow-up) to protect the tooth long-term.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients return to normal eating within 24-48 hours. Mild sensitivity when chewing is normal for a few days. Avoid biting hard foods directly on the treated tooth until the permanent crown is placed, and maintain regular brushing and flossing as usual.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does root canal treatment cost in Kankurgachi, Kolkata?
Root canal treatment in Kankurgachi, Kolkata costs between ₹6,000 and ₹18,000 per tooth, including the crown. Molars cost more than front teeth because they have more canals to clean.
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. Modern root canal treatment using rotary endodontics and local anaesthesia is virtually painless. Most patients report only mild sensitivity for 1-2 days after the procedure, not pain during it.
How many sittings does a root canal take?
Most root canal treatments are completed in 1-2 sittings of 45-60 minutes each, depending on the number of canals and severity of infection.
Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
Yes, in most cases. A crown protects the treated tooth from fracture since root canal treatment removes the nerve and blood supply, making the tooth more brittle over time.
Don’t ignore tooth pain — same-day RCT consultations available.
