Root Canal Treatment in Dubai - Save Your Natural Tooth with Comfort & Precision
A root canal treatment (RCT) is a safe and effective way to relieve tooth pain and save a damaged or infected tooth — preserving your natural smile for years to come.
At IB Clinic, Dubai, our experienced endodontists perform root canals using digital imaging, rotary instruments, and advanced anesthesia to ensure a precise, painless experience and long-term success.
Why Choose Root Canal Treatment
Saves Your Natural Tooth
Prevents the need for extraction by removing infection and restoring tooth structure.
Pain-Free & Comfortable
Performed under local anesthesia – modern techniques make the procedure virtually painless
Stops Infection from Spreading
Removes bacteria from inside the tooth and seals it to prevent future reinfection.
Fast Recovery & Long-Lasting Results
With proper restoration (filling or crown), the treated tooth can last a lifetime.
Advanced Technology for Accuracy
We use digital X-rays, apex locators, and rotary systems for precise cleaning and shaping of root canals.
How Root Canal Treatment Works
Examination & Digital X-Ray
Your dentist evaluates the tooth with X-rays to identify infection and assess the extent of damage.
Local Anesthesia
The area is numbed completely, ensuring a pain-free experience during the entire procedure.
Access Opening
A small opening is made in the tooth to reach the infected pulp.
Filling & Sealing
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Restoration (Filling or Crown)
The treated tooth is restored with a filling or crown for protection and full functionality.
When You May Need a Root Canal
Persistent toothache or pain when chewing
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Swelling or abscess near the gums
Deep cavity or cracked tooth exposing the pulp
Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
🚫 Not suitable for teeth that are severely fractured below the gum line — your dentist may recommend extraction and replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a root canal painful?
No. With modern anesthesia and rotary instruments, root canals are virtually pain-free. Most patients describe it as similar to getting a filling.
How long does a root canal take?
Usually 60-90 minutes per session, depending on the number of canals and infection severity.
Will my tooth be weak after the treatment?
The tooth becomes more brittle, which is why a dental crown is recommended afterward for strength and protection.
How long does a root canal last?
With good care and a proper crown, results can last a lifetime.
Can an infected tooth heal without a root canal?
No, once the pulp is infected, it cannot heal naturally. A root canal is the only way to save it.
How will I feel after the treatment?
Mild soreness is normal for 1-2 days and can be managed easily with over-the-counter pain relievers.
