Diagnosed Before Quoted
An X-ray and examination first. You get told whether you actually need a root canal before you're given a price.
Assessment first
Root Canal Treatment in Tambaram — Saving the Tooth, Not Removing It
A root canal keeps a badly decayed or infected tooth in place. Assessment, a written estimate and a treatment plan before anything begins. On Mudichur Road, above Naturals.
What waiting actually costs
A tooth that has stopped hurting has not stopped being infected.
Most people delay a root canal because of what they've heard about it, not what they've been told.
The pain settles, the tooth feels normal again, and the appointment gets postponed. Infection doesn't work on that timeline — and the longer it runs, the more often the answer stops being a root canal and starts being an extraction.
- × Pain that fades and comes back worse
- × Reaching the point where the tooth can't be saved
- × Paying for an implant later instead of a root canal now

Single-Sitting Where Suitable

Not sure it's a root canal?
Find out before you commit to anything
Some teeth that feel like they need a root canal need a filling. Some need something else entirely. A consultation and an X-ray tell you which.
Three steps, and you'll know exactly where you stand after the first one.

Treatment at your pace
Numbed first, with checks through the procedure, and clear aftercare instructions.
Pain varies from person to person and tooth to tooth, so nobody can honestly promise you won't feel anything. What we can tell you is that the tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia before we begin, we check you're comfortable before starting, and you can stop us at any point. Most people find the infection was worse than the treatment.
Usually one to three, depending on the tooth and how far the infection has gone. Back teeth have more canals and often take longer than front teeth. You'll be told which applies to you at the consultation.
It depends on the tooth, the number of canals, whether imaging is needed and whether a crown follows. We give you a written estimate after the examination, before any treatment starts.
Often yes, particularly on back teeth, because a treated tooth becomes more brittle. We'll tell you whether yours needs one and include it in the estimate.
It can, and sometimes that's the right call. But an extraction leaves a gap that usually needs a bridge or implant later, which costs more than saving the tooth. We'll walk you through both options.
Yes. Wisdom tooth removal and oral surgery are done in this clinic, assessed with an X-ray first and quoted in writing like any other treatment.
A properly treated and crowned tooth can last many years with normal care and regular check-ups.
Everything in one clinic
