So i am in a bit of a rut here. 4 of my chewing teeth are completely finished, went to the dentist to get it checked. He says i will need 4 root canals with 4 caps(the ones that look like normal teeth and are stronger than the silver ones) . The total for these is 40k. Now what I want to know is if this is a fair amount. i have never had dental work done so I have no idea for a frame of reference.

This is in Karachi btw. My teeth are literally killing me so a quick response from someone who recently had work done would be very appreciated.

40k is reasonable.


Time to call upon resident PG physicians for help again :crazy:

Sadly PG doesn't have an in-house dentist yet.

I'm currently going through the same pain as well and today started this root canal procedure. Total cost per teeth including root canal and cap is 7000.

7k sounds way too cheap. Which dentist have you gone to and what kind of caps are you getting? I got the most expensive ones which was quoted at 7k.

well, myself and family are going to this dentist for a long time now - basically one of his colleagues does the root canal. Since I trust him I've gone ahead with the procedure today. I'm not sure about the caps, if you want can give you the no. and you can directly ask him the details.

Thanks for all the quick responses my brothers. I guess 40k is a suitable price.
dentists are big source for spreading hepatitis,make sure that you go to a good doctor/hospital,if he/she does not asks you for your hep. blood report,then don't go there.good clinics treat hep. positive patients with other instruments and that's why they ask for blood report when patient comes to them.

root canal plus capping for 4 teeth would cost around 30k. 40k if you are going to a bigger institute/ hospital

Sorry Dude

I am a physician and not a dentist so cannot comment on the exact price of this procedure

But one thing is clear. Dentists are expensive and they set their own fees and have different charges for different procedures

One can see lot of variations in fees in different clinics.

Better to get two different opinions rather than sticking to anyone

Very important thing mentioned above

Ask about the sterilization protocols in clear words. Do NOT compromise on this


Ask them to use disposable equipment and gadgets wherever possible even if the cost goes up

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
