The cost of root canal treatment depends significantly on the number of root canals and the location of the tooth (posterior/anterior).
On this page of Dr. Bonyanian’s dental website, we have prepared a detailed breakdown of all the tariffs for you.
Root Canal Price in 2025 in Tehran
The cost of a root canal in Tehran in 2025, depending on the tooth’s condition, location, and number of canals, will vary from about 4 to 9 million Toman for general dentists, and from about 5 to 10 million Toman for specialist endodontists.
The price for a wisdom tooth root canal is also around 9 million Toman, given its complexity and difficult access, but this is exclusively performed by a specialist endodontist.
Root Canal Price for 1 to 5 Canals in 2025
The exact price of a root canal is variable due to the different factors affecting this treatment process. However, in general, the cost of a root canal for a tooth with 1 to 5 canals is as follows:
- Single-Canal Root Canal: 4 to 5 million Toman
- Two-Canal Root Canal: 5 to 6 million Toman
- Three-Canal Root Canal: 6 to 7 million Toman
- Four-Canal Root Canal: 7 to 8 million Toman
Of course, it should be noted that the exact diagnosis of the number of root canals is possible only after taking a radiographic image (X-ray) of the jaw and a dental examination.
Cost of Root Canal for Teeth #6 and #7 in 2025
Due to the more difficult access and the greater number of canals in teeth #6 and #7, the root canal treatment for these teeth is slightly more challenging than for the anterior teeth. Naturally, the cost of a root canal for these teeth, if done correctly, will be slightly higher than for the front teeth. In general, the cost of a root canal for teeth #6 and #7 is as follows:
- Single-Canal Root Canal: 5 to 6 million Toman
- Two-Canal Root Canal: 6 to 7 million Toman
- Three-Canal Root Canal: 7 to 8 million Toman
- Four-Canal Root Canal: 8 to 9 million Toman
Cost of Root Canal for Tooth #8 or Wisdom Tooth in 2025
Tooth #8, which is the wisdom tooth, has the most difficult access among all teeth, and usually, fewer dentists with an experienced team perform the root canal on tooth #8 in the manner of Dr. Bonyanian’s dental practice. We will perform it for you in the best way possible.
Due to the specialized nature of root canal treatment for tooth #8, the cost of the root canal for a wisdom tooth, regardless of the number of canals, is between 7,900,000 to 8,900,000 Toman in 2025.
Cost of Root Canal Retreatment
Root canal retreatment is a procedure in which a previously root-canaled tooth experiences new problems such as inflammation or infection. The tooth may become inflamed and painful due to reasons like remaining bacteria in the root canal, re-infection, formation of a new root system, or incomplete cleaning of the root canal.
In such circumstances, the dentist will recommend retreatment. For this reason, all restorative materials in the tooth must be removed, and the root canal process must be performed from the beginning. Due to the rework involved in this process, its costs will be slightly higher than the first-time root canal. However, in general, the cost of retreatment for a tooth with 1 to 5 canals is as follows:
- Single-Canal Retreatment: 5 to 6 million Toman
- Two-Canal Retreatment: 6 to 7 million Toman
- Three-Canal Retreatment: 7 to 8 million Toman
- Four-Canal Retreatment: 8 to 9 million Toman
Cost of Retreatment for Teeth #6 and #7 in 2025
Root canal retreatment for teeth #6 and #7 is one of the most challenging dental tasks for dentists, so its cost is naturally higher than the retreatment of other teeth. In general, the cost of retreatment for teeth #6 and #7 is as follows:
- Single-Canal Retreatment: 6 to 7 million Toman
- Two-Canal Retreatment: 7 to 8 million Toman
- Three-Canal Retreatment: 8 to 9 million Toman
- Four-Canal Retreatment: 9 to 10 million Toman
Cost of Root Canal for Baby Teeth
The root canal process for a baby tooth is generally similar to that for a permanent tooth. However, performing this treatment for children is done through either a pulpotomy or a pulpectomy. In the first case, only the pulpal tissue of the crown is removed, while in cases of more extensive inflammation, the pulpal tissue of the roots is also removed.
Regarding the high importance of treating and preserving baby teeth, we have discussed the topic of maintaining them until their natural exfoliation in another article. Nevertheless, we remind you again of the importance of preserving a child’s baby teeth.
The price of root canal treatment for a baby tooth varies between 3 to 5 million Toman. The table below shows you the tariffs for pulpotomy and pulpectomy for a child’s tooth.
Costs After a Root Canal
After completing the root canal treatment, the completion of the treatment process is carried out in several ways depending on the dentist’s diagnosis and the condition of the tooth:
- The tooth needs a buildup.
- The tooth needs a post and crown.
- The tooth needs restoration and a crown.
- The tooth needs a fiber post and crown.
- The tooth needs a pin and buildup.
In each of the above situations, you will have to pay additional costs to complete your treatment process.
Cost of Root Canal and Filling
The cost of filling a tooth (or restoration) is calculated separately from the cost of the root canal treatment. However, in general, the cost of a root canal and filling (together) starts from 13,900,000 Toman in 2025.
Price of Root Canal and Crown in 2025
Depending on the number of canals in the root-canaled tooth and the type of crown, the cost of a root canal, post, and crown varies from 13 million Toman to 20 million Toman in 2025.
Price of Root Canal for an Infected Tooth
The cost of root canal treatment for an infected tooth will be determined based on how many root canals are infected and whether the tooth requires surgery or not. However, the cost is usually within the same range of 4,900,000 Toman to 8,900,000 Toman.
Root Canal Price in Installments
Your oral and dental health has always been our top priority. Therefore, if you are facing difficulties in paying for your root canal treatment, discuss the matter with our dental clinic’s consultants so that the installment payment terms for the root canal treatment can be announced to you.
Factors Affecting Root Canal Price
The price of a root canal depends on various factors, including the number of root canals, the complexity of the treatment, the position of the tooth in the mouth (front or back), the dentist’s specialization, and the equipment used in the clinic.
For example, posterior teeth naturally have a higher root canal cost than anterior teeth due to the greater complexity of their root structure. Or, as another example, if a tooth has many canals or is involved with a widespread infection (which may require additional treatments like surgery), the final cost of the root canal will also increase.
So, in general, the more complicated the treatment, the higher the final cost will be.
Additional Costs for a Root Canal
There may be other additional costs during the root canal process. For example, if a tooth has more than four canals, an amount of 1 million Toman will be added to the final cost of the root canal treatment for each additional canal. Also, the cost of treating a tooth perforation (if needed) will be between 7.9 to 8.9 million Toman.
Other potential costs in this process also include taking radiographic images, the need for general anesthesia (which is usually not necessary for adults and is only performed for children), or dental surgery.
Affordable Root Canal Treatment
Reducing the cost of a root canal means practicing good oral hygiene. That is, observing all the primary and most effective measures to make you not need a root canal in the first place. Observing these points will not only reduce your need for therapeutic dental treatments but also your need for cosmetic dental procedures. Because ultimately, by following this hygiene routine, you will have healthy, white, and shiny teeth.
Daily use of a toothbrush, mouthwash, and dental floss, maintaining a healthy diet, attending regular check-ups, and similar practices are the best and most cost-effective ways to maintain dental health and subsequently reduce dental costs. After that, if you still need a root canal, it is better to see a dentist in the very early days. This is because removing decay and treating a damaged tooth in the initial stages is much simpler and less expensive than treating a tooth whose root is severely damaged.
Strategies to Reduce Root Canal Costs
And also, the factors influencing the determination of these prices and tariffs for root canals, given all the explanations we provided regarding the cost, perhaps the answer to the question “What is the reason for the price difference in root canal costs?” seems clear.
The teeth of different individuals are damaged and decay at different levels. It is even possible for two teeth in one person’s mouth to decay with different severities. The difference in the degree of damage is one of the main reasons for the price difference in a root canal. The specialty of the dentist is also one of the determining factors in this field. Naturally, a general dentist will charge you a lower fee than a root canal specialist. In such cases, if the cost of treatment is important to you, be sure to get the necessary information about the costs before starting the process.
Final Summary
The price of a root canal is usually determined based on numerous factors. For this reason, determining a precise, fixed price for this dental treatment process is a very difficult task. However, we have tried to provide you with an approximate range of prices for the root canal treatment process on this page so that you can make a decision for your tooth with greater ease.
