Root canal treatment in Bengaluru
Save an infected or badly damaged tooth by cleaning and sealing the root canals — often finished with a crown.
Typical stay: 3–7 days
Overview
What to expect
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, then seals the canals so you can keep the natural tooth when suitable. Many guests combine it with a crown on the same trip. Indicative India range from about $100–250 per tooth (treatment fee; crown priced separately). TODO(founder): confirm. Atithi Health is a medical travel facilitator, not a healthcare provider. Clinical care is delivered by independent licensed partner clinics — TODO(founder): add partner.
Good candidates
- Adults with toothache, deep decay, or a tooth that needs saving before a crown
- Guests cleared for elective dental care
Not suitable if
- Teeth the dentist judges unrestorable — extraction and implant may be discussed instead
- Acute facial swelling needing emergency care first

FAQs
Common questions
Are prices fixed?
No. From-prices on the site are indicative estimates in USD. Your final written quote comes from the treating provider after reviewing your reports. Flights are not included.
How do I pay? Who pays the hospital, and when?
Clinical fees are usually paid directly to the treating provider as they instruct. Atithi invoices hospitality and coordination separately when used. Timing is written into your plan. TODO(founder): confirm payment rails per partner.
When can I fly after dental treatment?
Many implant and smile guests fly after about a week once the dentist confirms fit-to-fly. Full-arch temporary bridge stages often need 8–12 days. Your written plan will state the earliest sensible departure.
