Root canal treatment in Dubai

Root canal treatment at our Al Rigga (Deira) and Al Satwa clinics treats a tooth whose nerve is infected or inflamed, aiming to keep the tooth rather than remove it. New patients get a free consultation, and the cost is explained before treatment starts.

What it is

Inside each tooth is soft tissue — the pulp. When it becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment cleans it out and seals the tooth.

Signs

When the nerve may be involved

  • Lingering pain after hot or cold
  • Throbbing toothache, sometimes at night
  • Pain when biting down
  • Swelling or a tender gum near one tooth
  • A tooth that has darkened

Worth knowing

Swelling needs attention.

If you have facial swelling, a fever or difficulty swallowing, contact us or seek urgent care straight away.

Your visit

What to expect

  1. 1

    Free first consultation

    New patients start with a free consultation. Your dentist examines the area and explains your options.

  2. 2

    X-ray and diagnosis

    Your dentist confirms whether the nerve is affected and explains the options.

  3. 3

    Treatment

    The tooth is numbed, cleaned inside and sealed.

  4. 4

    Protecting the tooth

    Your dentist advises whether a crown is needed afterwards.

How long root canal treatment takes

The tooth is numbed first. Depending on the tooth, treatment may take more than one visit, and a crown is often recommended afterwards to protect it; see dental crowns. Your dentist will explain all of this before starting.

Who carries out root canal treatment

Root canal treatment is carried out by our DHA-licensed general dentists. Dentists whose profiles include root canal treatment are Dr Safura Fathima (18 years of experience) and Dr Khadeeja Sulaiman (13 years).

Root canal cost, insurance and payment

Root canal treatment is priced after your free consultation, once your dentist has examined the tooth and taken any X-rays needed. We offer direct billing with Aafiya, Almadallah, Daman, Enaya and Inayah for eligible plans; with other insurers, pay at the clinic and claim reimbursement. You can also split the cost with Tabby or Tamara. See dental prices and dental insurance in Dubai.
