Microscopic Root Canal Treatment
Save your natural tooth with 30x microscopic precision and single-visit comfort.
A microscopic root canal is a procedure that removes infected pulp from inside a tooth using a surgical operating microscope for up to 30x magnification. It eliminates pain, saves your natural tooth, and is typically completed in a single 60–90 minute visit under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
Duration
60–90 minutes (often single visit)
Cost Range
₹6,000 – ₹15,000
Recovery
Initial healing takes 1–3 days. Mild tenderness is normal and eases with over-the-counter pain relief. Avoid chewing on the treated side until the final crown is placed, and maintain gentle brushing and flossing. A follow-up crown is usually recommended within 2–4 weeks.
Understanding Root CanalTreatment
A root canal becomes necessary when the soft pulp inside your tooth — containing nerves and blood vessels — becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental work, cracks, or trauma. Left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to an abscess.
Microscopic dentistry transforms the procedure. Dr. Prem Kumar uses a surgical operating microscope providing up to 30x magnification and focused illumination, revealing the tiny, curved canal anatomy invisible to the naked eye. This allows for complete cleaning, precise shaping, and three-dimensional sealing of every canal.
Because the microscopic view is so detailed, the tooth structure removed is minimized and the risk of missing a canal drops dramatically. Most treatments are completed in a single comfortable visit, protecting your natural tooth for the long term.
Why It's Important
- Eliminates infection and severe tooth pain at its source
- Preserves your natural tooth instead of extracting it
- Prevents spread of infection to surrounding teeth and bone

From Dr. Prem Kumar
The microscope changes everything. When I can see a canal that is a fraction of a millimeter wide, I can clean it completely and seal it properly. My patients are often surprised that a root canal is far more comfortable than the pain that brought them in.

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you feel little to no pain during treatment. Most patients report that it is far more comfortable than the toothache that prompted the visit, with only mild tenderness afterward.
