How much does root canal treatment cost in Islington?

Root canal treatment in London typically costs between £300 and £600 privately, depending on the tooth: a front tooth with a single canal is simpler and cheaper than a back molar with several. Root canal treatment is also available on the NHS as a Band 2 treatment, which is usually cheaper than going private. You will normally need a crown on the tooth afterwards, which is an additional cost worth factoring in. For a fuller overview, see our Root Canal Treatment in London hub, and our NHS dentist London hub for what the NHS covers.
