Tooth extraction cost in Kenya is usually similar to tooth removal cost: KES 5,000 - 10,000 for simple extraction, KES 15,000 - 35,000+ for difficult extraction, and KES 20,000 - 45,000+ for wisdom tooth surgery.

Tooth extraction cost in Nairobi commonly ranges from KES 5,000 to KES 35,000+. The final cost depends on whether the tooth is visible, broken, infected, impacted or close to important structures.

Tooth filling in Kenya commonly costs KES 5,000 - 15,000+. A small filling may be KES 5,000 - 7,000, a moderate filling KES 8,000 - 12,000, and a complex filling or core buildup KES 15,000+.

Filling a broken tooth may cost KES 5,000 - 15,000+ if the break is small or moderate. If the tooth is badly broken, infected or weak, the dentist may recommend root canal treatment, crown or extraction instead.

Yes. If the cavity is still manageable, a dentist can clean the decay and restore the tooth with a filling. If the hole is deep and has reached the nerve, a root canal may be needed before final restoration.

The cheapest safe option for a small broken tooth is usually a composite filling or bonding, often around KES 5,000 - 15,000+. Larger breaks may need a crown, veneer or root canal depending on the damage.

Root canal cost in Kenya commonly starts around KES 25,000 for front teeth, KES 35,000+ for premolars and KES 45,000 - 80,000+ for molars. Crown or buildup costs may be separate.

In Nairobi, budget about KES 25,000 - 80,000+ for root canal treatment depending on the tooth and infection. If the tooth is weak, a crown may add KES 40,000 - 90,000+.

If the tooth can be saved, root canal treatment may be better because it preserves the natural tooth. Extraction may be cheaper upfront, but replacing the missing tooth later with a denture, bridge or implant adds cost.

Teeth cleaning in Nairobi commonly ranges from KES 5,000 to KES 15,000. Routine cleaning costs less, while heavy tartar, stains, sensitivity or gum disease may require deeper cleaning.

A white crown such as zirconia, Emax or full ceramic often costs around KES 55,000 - 90,000+ per tooth depending on material, lab work and the tooth being restored.

Sometimes, yes. If the crack has not split the root and infection is controlled, a crown can protect the tooth. If the nerve is infected, root canal treatment may be needed before the crown.
