When the nerve inside a tooth is infected or dying, it can hurt a lot. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans the canals and seals them. The tooth stays in your mouth, and the pain goes.
Signs you may need a root canal
- Strong toothache, especially at night
- Pain that lingers after hot or cold drinks
- A swollen gum or a small bump near the tooth
- A tooth that has turned darker
Sometimes there is no pain at all and we only see the infection on the X ray. That is why we always start with an OPG scan.
How the treatment works
We numb the tooth, open it carefully and clean each root canal. Then we fill the canals and close the tooth. Back teeth have more canals and take longer, so the price depends on the tooth.
Price of root canal treatment
€250 front tooth
Premolar €350, molar €450.
If the tooth needs a post and core afterwards, it costs €85.
This is the final price, with no hidden fees. The consultation is free. You only pay €45 for the OPG scan.
Don’t want to wait? Send us a photo or X ray and within 24 hours you get a treatment plan with the price.
What comes after
A tooth after root canal treatment is more fragile. It often needs a crown to protect it. Zirconia crowns at Smile Clinic cost €495 per tooth. We tell you up front if your tooth will need one, so there are no surprises.
Questions people ask
Is a root canal painful?
We numb the tooth first. For most people it feels like a longer filling. The pain you came in with usually goes once the infection is cleaned out.
Why does a molar cost more than a front tooth?
A front tooth usually has one canal. A molar has three or four, which takes more time and care.
Is it better to just pull the tooth out?
Keeping your own tooth is usually the better choice when it can be saved. If it can’t, we will tell you honestly and explain the options, like a dental implant.
How much does a root canal cost?
€250 for a front tooth, €350 for a premolar and €450 for a molar. A post and core, if needed, costs €85.

Hi,
I believed I texted/emailed you last week but for some reason, I can’t find those messages on my mobile device. I inquired about a root canal treatment or filling and the total cost (without hidden charges). I have recent Xrays and scans of my teeth and the one cavity in need of treatment. Would you please contact me back by email, thank you. I live and work in Bratislava and I am insured with Union
Kind regards,
Elisabete
Hi Elisabete,
Yes I remember – we communicated with you through Google my business (maps). I’ll reply to you there again…
Hi,
I was wondering if I can book an appointment on 4 April (Thursday) any time in the afternoon.
I need to check one teeth and I am not sure if I just need a new filling or if I actually need to do a root canal treatment to a pre-molar teeth.
Can you let me know what are the prices for each of these treatments?
Please note that I don’t live in Bratislava so I was wondering if you have a specific price per session instead of the actual price for the full treatment. In this case I am talking about the root canal because from what I understand this treatment normally takes more than 1 session.
Thanks let me know if you need anything else.

Hi, I would like to know whether or not the Root Canal Treatment is performed by a specialized Endodontist or by regular dentists
Thanks
Hi Laurie, currently we do not have an endodontic specialist in the clinic.
We do however still use a microscope, loupes and OPG / CT scans to support all our Endodontic with a full guarantee of success.
You’re of course very welcome to have this treatment done in our clinic, however, should you look elsewhere, in my opinion, the items I mentioned here are what you need to ask about – as the human eye alone without support cannot work in canals that are more difficult cases and full guarantee their success. The same is with the x-ray, look for an OPG machine to maximise the result.
I hope that helps!
