Root canal treatment in Dubai

Root canal treatment saves a tooth when the nerve inside it is inflamed or infected: the canals are cleaned, disinfected and sealed. At Factor Smile it is done by an endodontist under a dental microscope, usually in one visit and painlessly under local anaesthesia.

When is a root canal needed?

When the nerve inside the tooth is infected or dead: lingering pain to hot and cold, pain on biting, swelling of the gum, or a dark tooth after trauma. On an X-ray we see a shadow at the root tip.

Why does the microscope matter?

Molars often have a fourth canal that is invisible to the naked eye. Missed canals are the main reason root canals fail. Under 20× magnification the endodontist finds and cleans every canal, which is why our re-treatment rate is low.

Root canal or extraction and implant?

If the tooth has enough structure left, save it: a root canal with a crown is usually more economical than an implant. If the tooth is cracked below the gum or has lost most of its walls, an implant is the better investment.

What happens after treatment?

Mild tenderness for 2–3 days. A crown on back teeth within 2–4 weeks. Check X-ray at 6 months.

Frequently asked questions

Does a root canal hurt?

No — it is done under local anaesthesia and relieves the pain you came with. Tenderness for a couple of days afterwards is normal.

How many visits?

Usually one. Two if there is a large abscess that needs medication first.

How long does a root-canal tooth last?

With a crown, as long as any other tooth — decades.
