This is a fixed price, transparently discussed before the treatment session. The degree of pulp inflammation (reversible pulpitis, irreversible pulpitis, pulp necrosis) does not incur additional costs beyond the two criteria above.
What is included in the price?
The price for permanent root canal treatment includes the consultation fee if you confirm treatment at the first appointment. The cost of X-ray imaging for diagnosis and treatment is included in the price above; this is a procedure to assist the doctor's work, so if you only receive treatment without requesting X-rays, you will not be charged extra. If you need X-rays sent via email or Zalo, the cost will be applied separately according to the price list.
The price above also includes the root canal filling after cleaning and the temporary restoration to close the tooth immediately after treatment. These are two mandatory steps in the root canal procedure and are not additional charges. Additional costs only arise if you need to rebuild the tooth stump to prepare for a crown (for teeth that have lost a significant amount of tissue). See the table below for details.
Why are molars more expensive than single- or double-rooted teeth?
The cost of root canal treatment depends primarily on the number of roots and root canals in the tooth. Teeth with 1-2 roots (usually incisors and premolars) have simpler root canal structures, while molars typically have more root canals, requiring more time and complex cleaning and shaping techniques in the most crucial step of the procedure. This is why these two groups of teeth have different prices even though they both involve permanent root canal treatment.
Compared to the market average, is the price of root canal treatment at Dental Fam higher or lower?
Currently, the starting price for permanent root canal treatment is usually around 1,200,000 to 1,500,000 VND for teeth with 1-2 roots, and from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 VND for molars; revision treatment is commonly priced at 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 VND.
The price of 2,000,000 VND for 1-2 root canals at Dental Fam is higher than the common starting price on the market. This difference stems from the fact that Dental Fam's root canal treatment process utilizes a full set of electronic apex locator, irrigation system, and vibrating device to activate the irrigation solution during the root canal cleaning step – equipment not all clinics have, resulting in lower starting prices. For molars (3,000,000 VND) and retreatment cases (3,000,000 VND - 5,000,000 VND), the price at Dental Fam falls within the common market range and is not unusually high.
The more important difference than the number is the fixed price: the price of 2,000,000 VND to 5,000,000 VND at Dental Fam is determined upfront, while many places quote lower starting prices but may add up during actual treatment depending on the complexity of the case. You know exactly how much you need to pay before deciding on treatment.
Is the cost of treating acute pulpitis different from the regular price?
No. Acute pulpitis is also a diagnosis that confirms the need for root canal treatment; there is no separate price or emergency treatment item. The cost still follows the price list for permanent root canal treatment above, depending on whether the tooth is a single-rooted or double-rooted molar.
How Much Does a Root Canal Treatment Cost?
Root canal retreatment is applied when a tooth that has previously undergone root canal treatment is unsuccessful or develops problems, requiring reopening and re-treatment of the root canal system. Common cases include:
-
Tooth pain persists or recurs after root canal treatment.
-
Inflammation or infection of the root canal area after treatment.
-
The old root canal was not properly cleaned or sealed.
-
Remaining root canal material, or technical issues from the previous treatment.
The cost of a retreatment ranges from 3,000,000 VND to 5,000,000 VND per tooth, depending on the complexity: simple or complex, single or multiple roots, and whether there are any technical obstacles.
For teeth that previously received unsuccessful root canal treatment at Dental Fam, the dentist is responsible for re-treating them free of charge, unless additional oral or topical medication is prescribed. This policy applies to cases performed by Dental Fam and differs from re-treatment for teeth that have already undergone root canal treatment elsewhere.
Additional Costs
| Common Situations | Related Services | Price | Notes | |
| Complex bone and root apex assessment required before treatment | 3D Conebeam CT Scan | Free if only for treatment purposes | Only 800,000 VND/time if you request the scans to be sent via email or Zalo | |
| Decay teeth requiring restoration before treatment Root canal treatment | Filling cavities to restore chewing function | No separate charge | Included in the nature of the treatment, including cleaning and filling | |
| After root canal treatment, the tooth stump needs to be rebuilt for crown placement | Restoring the tooth stump with a fiberglass post | 1,000,000 VND/Post | Applicable when the cavity is large, there is not much remaining natural tooth tissue, and the risk of the remaining tissue breaking is high | |
| After root canal treatment, the tooth stump needs to be rebuilt for crown placement (more severe cases) | Restoring the tooth stump Using a custom-made post | 1,500,000 VND/Post | This is a more serious procedure, applied when the remaining tooth tissue is weaker. |
The above additional costs will be thoroughly and transparently discussed before the treatment, so you won't be surprised by the cost midway.
Note: PRF (platelet-rich plasma) is not used for routine root canal treatment. Cases requiring minor surgery such as apical resection are separate procedures with their own prices, not included in the root canal treatment cost.
How much does root canal treatment for baby teeth cost?
The price of root canal treatment for baby teeth differs from that for permanent teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions about Root Canal Treatment Costs
Does the cost of root canal treatment vary depending on the tooth location (incisors, molars, number 6, number 7)?
Yes, the price applies to two groups: single- and double-rooted teeth and molars, regardless of the specific location.
Is root canal treatment available on installment plans or with financial assistance?
Dental Fam has a separate financial assistance policy for certain treatment cases. You should contact the clinic directly for specific advice based on your situation.
Why do some places quote root canal treatment prices as low as 500,000 to 1,000,000 VND, much lower than the price list above?
Lower prices usually apply to baby teeth in children, or are the starting price for the simplest single-root canal treatment at some places, not including additional costs if the case becomes more complex during the actual examination. The price list at Dental Fam is a fixed price for permanent teeth, applied consistently according to the two criteria mentioned, and does not change during treatment.
Is there a discount for treating multiple teeth at the same time?
Dental Fam has not yet confirmed a discount policy for treating multiple teeth at the same time. You should contact the clinic directly for specific advice before making a decision.
Does health insurance or medical insurance cover root canal treatment at Dental Fam?
Dental Fam does not have specific information regarding the acceptance of health insurance or medical insurance for root canal treatment. You should contact the clinic directly for advice based on your current insurance plan before treatment.
If multiple appointments are required (complex cases), will the total cost increase?
No. The price for root canal treatment at Dental Fam is calculated per tooth, not per appointment.
