Root Canal Cost in London

Premolars typically have 1-2 canals and cost from £795 (£397.50 members), while molars—with their 3-4 canals and complex anatomy—cost from £895 (£447.50 members).

At South Kensington Medical & Dental, we believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

The Bottom Line

Where possible, saving your natural tooth with root canal treatment is usually the better choice both clinically and financially. An implant is an excellent solution when a tooth can't be saved, but nothing truly replaces your natural tooth. We'll always give you honest advice about the best option for your specific situation.

What's Included in Your Root Canal Cost

No hidden fees. No surprise charges. Complete transparency from diagnosis to recovery.

Diagnostic X-Rays

Digital X-rays to assess the tooth and plan treatment. Included in your quoted price.

Local Anaesthesia

Effective numbing so you feel comfortable throughout the procedure.

Complete Root Treatment

Thorough cleaning, shaping and filling of all canals in the tooth.

Temporary Restoration

Temporary filling placed after treatment to protect the tooth.

Follow-Up Appointment

Post-treatment check to ensure healing is progressing well.

Aftercare Guidance

Clear instructions for recovery and what to expect after treatment.

Crown Usually Required

Most teeth need a crown after root canal treatment to protect against fracture. Crown cost (from £497.50 for members) is separate from the root canal price. We'll discuss this during your consultation and include it in your treatment plan.
