Dr. Saira Khan is the second Consultant Endodontist, holding the prestigious FCPS (Operative Dentistry) at Al-Shifa Dental Specialists. The FCPS is a demanding multi-year clinical and academic fellowship that requires the candidate to demonstrate mastery of operative dental technique, endodontic science, restorative principles, and complex clinical problem-solving at the highest national standard. 

 Dr. Saira is one of the most formally qualified endodontists practising in Islamabad with a distinction that matters enormously for patients who need root canal treatment done correctly the first time.

In her 10 years of specialist clinical experience, Dr. Saira has handled many cases that other clinics struggle with including complex multi-rooted molars, calcified and narrow canals, acute dental abscesses requiring immediate intervention, and the re-treatment of root canals that have previously failed elsewhere. Her combination of FCPS-level theoretical grounding and extensive hands-on clinical practice produces consistently excellent outcomes, even in the most challenging endodontic scenarios.

Beyond her technical skill, Dr. Saira is known for her calm, reassuring approach to patient care. Root canal treatment carries a significant psychological burden for many patients — and Dr. Saira’s thorough communication, careful anaesthesia technique, and gentle manner transform what patients expect to be a frightening experience into a manageable and surprisingly comfortable one.
