Apicoectomy Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of an apicoectomy in Gurgaon typically ranges from $620 to $6,000 USD (about ₹58,800 to ₹5.69 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for an apicoectomy in Gurgaon is around $2,000 (about ₹1.90 lakh). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If one tooth is treated with standard materials, your bill is likely to be closer to $620 (about ₹58,800). It is likely to be nearer $6,000 (about ₹5.69 lakh) if several teeth are treated, a higher-grade implant system or ceramic is chosen, or treatment is spread over several visits.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for an apicoectomy, check whether each quote includes:

• Examination and X-rays or scans
• Laboratory work and materials
• Each treatment visit
• Review appointments

An apicoectomy (root-end surgery) cuts away the tip of a tooth root and seals the end to deal with infection that has continued after root canal treatment.

It is an option when infection persists after a root canal and re-treatment is not practical, for example because of a post or crown, or when canals are curved or blocked.

NHS 111 Wales points out that extraction is the alternative when a tooth cannot be saved.

With local anaesthetic, the gum is lifted, a small window is opened in the bone, the root tip is taken out and the end is sealed, which normally takes about an hour.

Swelling and bruising last a few days, stitches come out after about a week and X-rays some months later confirm that the bone has healed.

Flying home: most dental treatment has no effect on flying, though implants and other staged work need healing time between appointments, so plan each trip around that.

A Gurgaon quote for an apicoectomy is normally made up of these items:

• Dental examination and X-rays: or a 3D CBCT scan.
• Materials and lab work: make of crown, implant or veneer.
• Trips to Gurgaon: work done in stages can mean coming back a second time.
• Tooth treated: front or back tooth.
• Imaging: X-rays or a CBCT scan.
• Specialist: endodontist or oral surgeon.
• Follow-up X-rays: to confirm bone healing.

Dental work in Gurgaon is normally priced per tooth or per stage. Ask the clinic for an itemised plan covering lab work, materials and review appointments.

Dental care in Gurgaon is provided mainly by private dental clinics and hospital dental departments, many with on-site X-ray or 3D scanning and links to dental laboratories.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Gurgaon sits on the south-western edge of Delhi, a short road transfer from Indira Gandhi International Airport, which is the usual arrival point for international patients.
