Cost of Root Canal and Implant 2026

Updated August 2026 | Hungarian Dentists Wexford

The cost of root canal and implant treatment is an important consideration when a tooth is badly damaged, infected or cannot be predictably restored.

However, it is useful to understand that a root canal and a dental implant are usually different treatment pathways.

A root canal is performed in an attempt to save a natural tooth. A dental implant is normally considered when a tooth is already missing or needs to be removed.

Irish patients considering treatment in Hungary can arrange a consultation through Hungarian Dentists Wexford. Call Fintan on 087 349 0104 for more information.

Root Canal or Dental Implant – What Is the Difference?

A root canal treatment is used when the inside of a tooth has become infected or badly inflamed but the tooth may still be capable of being restored.

The infected tissue is removed from inside the tooth, the root canal system is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth may later require a filling, core build-up or crown.

A dental implant is different. The damaged or missing tooth is replaced using an implant placed into the jawbone. The implant can then support an abutment and crown or another type of restoration.

When a natural tooth can be predictably saved, keeping it may be preferable. When it cannot be saved, extraction followed by implant treatment may be one of the replacement options.

Current Perfect Smile Hungary Prices

The following prices are taken from the current 2026 treatment price list for Perfect Smile Dental Implant Center Hungary.

See the complete Dental Treatment Price List 2026 for current guide prices.

How Much Does an Implant, Abutment and Crown Cost?

The €795 figure is for the implant fixture itself. It does not include the abutment and crown.

What if Someone Needs a Root Canal and an Implant?

Sometimes a patient may need a root canal on one tooth and an implant to replace a different missing or failing tooth.

Using the current Perfect Smile guide prices purely as an example:

• Root canal treatment – €80
• Premium dental implant – €795
• Implant abutment – €130
• Screw-retained crown – €265

Illustrative total for those treatments: €1,270.

This does not include any crown or restoration that might be required for the root-canal-treated tooth, or any additional procedures.

It should therefore be treated as an example rather than a treatment quotation.

Root Canal Treatment – Saving the Natural Tooth

The purpose of root canal treatment is to retain a natural tooth that might otherwise need to be removed.

Whether a tooth can be successfully restored depends on factors such as:

• The amount of healthy tooth structure remaining
• The extent of infection or damage
• The condition of the root
• The surrounding bone and gums
• Whether the tooth can support a suitable final restoration

A dentist needs to examine the tooth and appropriate dental imaging may be required before deciding whether root canal treatment is suitable.

When Might a Dental Implant Be Considered?

An implant may be considered when a tooth is already missing or when a damaged tooth cannot be predictably restored.

Suitability for implant treatment depends on factors including:

• The amount and quality of available jawbone
• The health of the gums
• Your general health
• Smoking
• The location of the missing tooth
• Your bite
• The proposed restoration

A dental implant should not automatically be regarded as better than saving a natural tooth. The best option depends on the individual clinical situation.

Could Additional Treatment Be Required?

Yes. Implant treatment sometimes involves additional procedures.

Current Perfect Smile guide prices include:

• Bone grafting per tooth or implant – €200
• Bone augmentation correction – €150
• Surgical extraction – €100
• Sinus lift – €800 each

These procedures should not automatically be added to an implant price. They are only required when clinically necessary.

Comparing Treatment Costs in Ireland and Hungary

Dental prices vary between individual clinics in Ireland, particularly for root canal treatment, crowns and dental implants.

Rather than comparing one headline price with another, ask for a complete written treatment quotation.

For implant treatment, check whether the quotation includes:

• The dental implant
• The abutment
• The final crown or bridge
• Dental imaging
• Extraction if required
• Bone grafting if required
• Temporary restorations
• Follow-up appointments

For root canal treatment, also check whether the final restoration, core build-up or crown is included in the quoted price.

Cost of Root Canal and Implant – The Bottom Line

The cost of root canal and implant treatment should always be considered alongside the condition of the tooth and the treatment most likely to provide a predictable result.

At Perfect Smile Dental Implant Center Hungary, the current guide price for root canal treatment is €80.

The current Premium Dental Implant price is €795, with the €130 implant abutment and €265 screw-retained crown priced separately.

That gives a representative implant, abutment and crown total of €1,190.

The correct treatment and final cost can only be determined after dental examination and treatment planning.
