Root-canal prices abroad can look low, but a fair comparison must include diagnosis, number of canals, specialist skill, final restoration and follow-up.

Why prices vary
Front teeth usually have fewer canals than molars. Curved, calcified or previously treated canals are more difficult. Microscopes, 3D imaging and treatment by an endodontist can add cost but may be clinically important.
What should the quote include?
- examination and diagnostic X-rays;
- all treatment visits and canal fillings;
- rubber-dam isolation;
- temporary and permanent core restoration;
- medicines only when clinically indicated;
- final crown or onlay where required;
- review X-rays and complication policy.
Root canal and crown are separate costs
Many treated back teeth require cuspal protection. A headline root-canal price may omit the final crown, which can be the larger expense. Ask for the combined total.

Can it be finished in one visit?
Some cases can; infected, complex or retreatment cases may need more. Treatment duration should follow the diagnosis, not a return flight.
