Fees are related to a time and materials basis, ranging from £150 to £450 for the most complex cases. We endeavour to provide projected success rates for each case. Root treatment like many medical procedures is not assured of a 100% success rate, consequently the fee is based on surgery time and procedure, rather than the outcome.
Cost of Treatment
- Post Removal from £100.00
- Anterior Teeth from £200.00
- Pre-Molars from £200.00

The radiographs shown above demonstrate the case of an upper first molar before and after root canal treatment by Dr Ian Charlesworth.
Much to the relief of the patient who had suffered pain for several weeks this case was successfully completed over two visits.
With the aid of a microscope Dr Ian Charleworth was able to locate the canals inside the tooth once access had been gained through the existing filling.
At this first visit the canals were cleaned and shaped using specialised instruments. An antibacterial agent was then applied down the canals in order to thoroughly cleanse the internal surfaces.The medicament is normally left inside the tooth for two to four weeks.
At the next visit the canal system is checked and re-cleansed before the final root filling is sealed into position.
A report with copies of your x rays are sent to your own dentist. Generally the tooth has a crown or onlay scheduled by your dentist in order to strengthen the biting surface.
We recommend that you visit your dentist within a month following root treatment , during which time it is prudent to avoid heavy biting on your tooth until the final restoration .
