Root Canal Treatment in DHA Karachi
Written quote before treatment — no hidden charges. First consultation is free.
How much does a root canal cost in Karachi?
At our DHA clinic, a root canal costs PKR 20,000 per tooth, which includes the full procedure and follow-up X-ray. After a root canal, the tooth is weaker and we strongly recommend a dental crown to protect it — quoted separately. Complex retreatments are assessed individually.
Is root canal treatment painful?
With modern anaesthesia and rotary instruments, no. The pain people associate with root canals is actually the pain of the infection before treatment. During the procedure you feel pressure, not pain — and afterwards, the toothache that brought you in is gone.
How many visits does a root canal take?
- Visit 1: diagnosis with X-ray, anaesthesia, infected pulp removed, canals cleaned, shaped and disinfected with rotary files, temporary filling placed.
- Visit 2 (about a week later): canals sealed with gutta-percha, permanent filling or crown preparation.
Straightforward front teeth can sometimes be finished in a single visit.
Root canal vs tooth extraction: which is better?
Saving the tooth almost always wins. An extraction may seem cheaper today, but replacing the tooth later with an implant (from PKR 90,000) or bridge costs far more — and neighbouring teeth shift into the gap, causing bite problems. Read our detailed comparison →
Why choose a root canal researcher for your root canal?
Dr Marina Shah has published peer-reviewed research on C-shaped root canal morphology (Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, 2023) — the complex canal anatomy that makes some root canals fail elsewhere. Complex and retreatment cases are our specialty, not our fear.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cost of root canal in DHA Karachi?
PKR 20,000 per tooth at our clinic, usually over two visits. A protective crown afterwards is recommended and quoted separately.
Is root canal better than extraction?
Almost always. Saving your natural tooth preserves your bite and avoids the much higher cost of an implant or bridge later.
How long does a root canal last?
A well-done root canal with a crown can last decades — often a lifetime with good oral hygiene and regular checkups.
Can I eat after a root canal?
Yes, once numbness wears off. Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth until the permanent filling or crown is placed.
Do I need a crown after root canal?
In most cases, yes. A root-canal-treated tooth becomes brittle; a crown protects it from fracturing.
What if my root canal was done badly elsewhere?
We handle retreatment cases — removing old filling material, re-disinfecting and re-sealing the canals. Book a consultation with your X-rays.
