The cost of root canal treatment in South Korea typically ranges from $200 to $400. Prices vary depending on the tooth type (front or molar), the clinic, and the dentist’s expertise. In the United States, the average cost is $1,100 (per AAE). This means root canal treatment in South Korea is about 73% less than in the U.S.
Korean dental clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op X-rays, local anesthesia, the root canal procedure, post-op medication, follow-up visits, and English-speaking staff. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the procedure itself, with X-rays, anesthesia, and follow-ups billed separately. Patients should confirm exactly what’s included before booking.
