Pakistan — and specifically Islamabad — is quietly emerging as one of Asia’s most compelling destinations for high-quality, affordable dental care.
The following prices apply to international patients at Mushtaq Specialist Dental Practice. All prices are listed in US Dollars (USD) for ease of comparison. Payments can also be made in Pounds Sterling (GBP), UAE Dirhams (AED), or Pakistani Rupees (PKR) at the current exchange rate. All prices listed are inclusive of the procedure itself. Where a crown is required in addition to another treatment (e.g., after a root canal), this is noted separately. There are no hidden consultation fees or X ray surcharges for patients arriving with a confirmed treatment plan.
Root canal treatment — also called endodontic therapy — is performed when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or irreversibly damaged. The procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning and shaping the root canal system, and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection. Properly performed root canal treatment saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction.
Our Price: $100 per tooth
| Location | Root Canal Cost |
|---|---|
| Mushtaq Practice, Pakistan | $100 |
| UK (Private) | £500 – £1,000 |
| USA | $900 – $1,500 |
| UAE (Dubai) | AED 1,500 – 3,000 |
Your saving vs UK: up to £900 per tooth
Treatment Duration: Typically 1 week, 2 visits Depending on tooth complexity (incisor, premolar, or molar), the number of root canals to be treated varies. Our endodontic team handles all cases, including complex molar retreatments.
Important Note: Many teeth treated with root canal therapy will require a crown for long term protection. Crown cost is listed separately below
Fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay, fracture, or erosion. We use tooth-coloured composite resin fillings as standard — not amalgam (metal).
Our Price: $40 to $70 per tooth (depending on size and complexity)
| Location | Composite Filling Cost |
|---|---|
| Mushtaq Practice, Pakistan | $40 – $70 |
| UK (Private) | £100 – £300 |
| USA | $150 – $400 |
Treatment Duration: Single visit, usually 30–60 minutes
Extraction is recommended when a tooth cannot be saved through other treatment.
$40 For teeth that are visible above the gumline and can be removed with standard instruments.
$100 For impacted teeth (including wisdom teeth), broken-down teeth, or cases requiring surgical access.
1 week, 2 visits (first visit: assessment and preparation; second visit: extraction and postoperative review)
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once integrated with the bone (a process called osseointegration), the implant is topped with a custom dental crown, creating a permanent replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement — superior to bridges (which require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth) and dentures (which are removable and less stable).
Our Price: $500 per implant (crown included in most standard cases — confirm at consultation)
| Location | Composite Filling Cost |
|---|---|
| Mushtaq Practice, Pakistan | $40 – $70 |

Full implant integration (osseointegration) typically takes 3 to 6 months. For international patients requiring a completed crown within a single trip, immediate-loading or provisional crown options are discussed at consultation.
Types of Implants Available:

A dental crown (also called a cap) is a tooth-shaped restoration that fits over a damaged, weakened, or rootcanal-treated tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are also used to complete implant restorations.
