Root Canal Cost in London
Root canal treatment cost varies depending on which tooth needs treatment. Front teeth (incisors and canines) have a single canal and are the most straightforward to treat, with prices starting from £695 (or from £347.50 for members). 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. Our membership programme offers 50% off all dental treatments, making private root canal treatment more accessible. We also offer 0% interest finance over 12 months, so you can spread the cost of treatment without delay.

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.
