Root Canal Treatment in Pune

Root canal treatment in Pune at FDOC starts from ₹2,000 for a single-canal tooth. The final cost depends on the tooth type, infection level, number of canals, and crown requirement. Dr. Shibli Syed provides painless RCT using digital X-rays and rotary tools at FDOC clinics in Pune.

A root canal treated tooth with a proper crown can last 10–15 years or even a lifetime. Studies show over 85% of root canal treated teeth survive beyond 10 years with proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. At FDOC, Dr. Shibli Syed places high-quality crowns to maximise the longevity of every treated tooth.

Root canal treatment cost reflects the complexity of the procedure — it requires a specialist dentist, sterile rotary instruments, digital X-rays, multiple clinical steps, and a dental crown afterward. Molar teeth with 3–4 canals take more time and materials than front teeth. At FDOC, Dr. Shibli Syed offers transparent pricing with no hidden charges — RCT starts from just ₹2,000.

The 50-40-30 rule in dentistry refers to the recommended dentin removal percentages when shaping root canals — 50% at the coronal third, 40% at the middle third, and 30% at the apical third. This guideline helps endodontists like Dr. Shibli Syed ensure thorough cleaning while maintaining tooth structure during root canal treatment in Pune.

Yes, in many cases a root canal can be completed in a single appointment, especially when the infection is caught early. More complex cases or severely infected teeth may require two visits. Our specialist will advise you based on your specific condition.

If a tooth that requires root canal treatment is left untreated, the infection will worsen, spread to surrounding teeth and jawbone, and may develop into a painful abscess. Eventually the tooth may need to be extracted entirely. Delaying treatment almost always results in greater pain, higher cost, and more complex procedures.

A filling is sufficient when decay is confined to the outer layers of the tooth (enamel and dentine). A root canal is needed when decay or infection has reached the inner pulp. Symptoms like severe spontaneous pain, prolonged sensitivity, swelling, or tooth discolouration usually indicate RCT is required. An X-ray will confirm the diagnosis.

A standard root canal appointment at FDOC takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes. More complex cases involving multiple canals or curved roots may take longer or require an additional visit.

The only true alternative is tooth extraction. However, a missing tooth creates its own set of problems — shifting of teeth, bone loss, and difficulty chewing — and must be replaced with a dental implant or bridge, which is significantly more expensive. Whenever possible, saving your natural tooth through root canal treatment is always the recommended choice.
