Root Canal Therapy

Dedicated to excellence. Dedicated to your smile.

Painless Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the root canals, and saves the natural tooth from extraction. At Al-Shifa Dental Specialists, root canals are performed by dedicated endodontists using advanced rotary instrumentation and modern anaesthesia to make the procedure as comfortable as a routine filling.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Persistent toothache, especially at night
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the source is removed
Swelling or tenderness in the gum near a tooth
Tooth discolouration or darkening
A visible abscess or pimple on the gum
Pain when biting or chewing

The Procedure — What to Expect

Digital X-ray or CBCT scan to map the infection
Local anaesthesia in the area to make it fully numbed
Removal of infected pulp using rotary endodontic instruments
Thorough cleaning and disinfection of root canals
Sealing with biocompatible gutta-percha material
Ceramic crown placement for long-term tooth protection

Most root canals at Al-Shifa Dental are completed in one to two visits.

Root Canal vs Extraction — Which Is Better?

Saving your natural tooth is almost always preferable. A root canal preserves your tooth, maintains your bite, and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting. Extraction should only be considered when a tooth is truly beyond saving.
