Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The decayed tooth can be filled with a normal tooth color restoration(composite), if the decay is not involving the third layer that is pulp where the blood vessels and nerves are present. If the decay is involving pulp then the tooth has to be treated with RCT.
Ya, the cost of the RCT with crown varies from 5000 t0 8000rs depending upon the material used (either metal crown or ceramic crown).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have decayed tooth see what happened is treatment of decayed tooth is removal of tooth that is extraction if it cant be safed or tooth can be saved by Root canal treatment and capping is to be done after RCT whether metal capping or ceramic capping so as your dentist has suggested this treatment can be done to save decayed tooth.

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
