Root Canal Treatment Chennai

Root Canal Treatment at Sai Dental

Root canal treatment (RCT) at Sai Faciomaxillary & Dental Center is a gentle, precision procedure that relieves severe toothache and saves infected teeth from extraction. Dr. Sumedha Nandakumar, our Aesthetic Dentist, performs painless root canals using hand and rotary endodontic instruments, digital apex locators, and magnification loupes for exceptional accuracy. The procedure involves removing infected pulp tissue, thoroughly cleaning and shaping the root canals, disinfecting with antimicrobial irrigants, and sealing with biocompatible gutta-percha. Most cases at our clinic are completed in a single sitting, eliminating the need for multiple appointments. Modern root canal treatment with proper anaesthesia is no more uncomfortable than a filling. A permanent crown is placed post-RCT to restore full tooth strength and function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Root canal treatment costs in Chennai range from ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 per tooth depending on the number of canals (front teeth have fewer canals than molars). The follow-up crown costs ₹5,000–₹20,000 depending on material. We offer transparent pricing with no surprises.

Modern root canal treatment with proper local anaesthesia is not painful. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. Any mild soreness after the anaesthesia wears off is managed with standard pain medication.

At Sai Dental Center, the majority of root canals are completed in a single sitting of 60–90 minutes. Complex cases with severe infection or curved canals may require two sittings for the best outcome.

Untreated pulp infection spreads to surrounding bone and tissue, potentially forming an abscess. This can lead to tooth loss, spread of infection to adjacent teeth, and in severe cases, systemic health complications. Early treatment is always better.

A root canal-treated tooth protected with a crown can last 10–25 years or more with proper oral hygiene. Our post-RCT crown restorations are designed for long-term durability using premium zirconia or ceramic materials.
