Avance Dental Clinic, Dubai

Root Canal Treatment in Dubai

Root canal treatment (endodontic treatment) removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the canals, and lets you keep the tooth instead of having it taken out. At Avance Dental, root canal treatment is carried out by our general dentists at our clinics in Deira, Motor City and Ibn Battuta.

Symptoms

Signs you may need a root canal

Lingering toothache

Toothache that throbs, wakes you at night or lingers after hot or cold drinks.

Pain when biting

Pain when biting or chewing.

Swelling

Swelling of the gum or face, or a small pimple on the gum near a tooth.

A darker tooth

A tooth that has turned darker after a knock.

Deep cavity or crack

A deep cavity or a cracked tooth.

Some infected teeth cause no pain at all and are found on an X-ray at a check-up.

If you have facial swelling, a fever or difficulty swallowing, call us straight away on 04 266 6022 or seek urgent care.

Step by step

The root canal procedure

Examination and X-ray

We find the cause of the pain and check whether the tooth can be saved.
Anaesthetic

The tooth is numbed so the treatment feels much like having a filling.
Cleaning the canals

A small opening is made in the tooth, and the infected pulp is removed. The canals are shaped and disinfected.
Filling and sealing

The canals are filled with a sealing material and the tooth is closed with a filling.
Crown, if needed

Back teeth, and teeth that have lost a lot of structure, usually need a crown afterwards to protect them from cracking.

Treatment often takes one or two visits, depending on the tooth and how severe the infection is.

After your root canal

The tooth may feel tender for a few days, and ordinary painkillers usually help. Avoid chewing hard food on that side until the final filling or crown is in place. Keep brushing and flossing as normal and attend your follow-up visit.

Root canal or extraction?

Keeping your natural tooth is usually the better choice for chewing and for keeping the teeth around it in place. If a tooth is too broken down to save, we will explain the options, including extraction followed by an implant or a bridge.

Cost of root canal treatment in Dubai

The cost depends on which tooth is treated (front teeth have fewer canals than molars) and whether you need a crown afterwards. We give you the price after the examination and X-ray, before treatment begins.

FAQ

Questions about root canal treatment

Is root canal treatment painful?

With local anaesthetic, most patients feel little more than during a filling. The treatment relieves the pain caused by the infection.

Can antibiotics fix the tooth instead?

Antibiotics can help control a spreading infection, but they cannot clean the infection from inside the tooth. The tooth still needs root canal treatment or extraction.

How long does a root-treated tooth last?

With a good seal, a crown where needed and regular check-ups, a root-treated tooth can last for many years.

I have started my orthodontist treatment with Dr. Amritha 1 year ago and I am very satisfied with the results. She had very professional approach and well skilled orthodontist. They have 3 branches all over Dubai and that’s I haven’t experienced any interruption for my treatment even after I moved to another neighborhood, I have started at Ibn Batuta Branch and continue at Deira with same doctor because they have shifts on different branches at different days. I have collected prices from other clinics and they offered the best service in a reasonable price for Alignment treatment. You can choose without any hesitation.

I’m really happy with both the experience and the results of my teeth alignment treatment. My case was quite severe and the treatment lasted about a year, but Dr. Fidha was exceptional throughout—professional, knowledgeable, and consistently supportive. The reception team and dental assistants were also fantastic. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and highly professional. You can truly tell you’re in the hands of experts who know exactly how to handle each individual case. I would absolutely recommend this clinic!

We have been regular visitors to Avance Dental Clinic in Deira, Dubai, and our experience has consistently been excellent. I recently underwent two tooth implants, and I can’t thank Dr. Uthappa, the prosthodontist and implantologist, enough for his outstanding work. As someone who is quite sensitive when it comes to dental procedures, I was initially anxious—but Dr. Uthappa made the entire process smooth and completely painless. He is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and reassuring, which helped put me at ease throughout the treatment. If you're looking for a dental professional who truly knows what he's doing and puts patient comfort first, I highly recommend Dr. Uthappa. I also recently had a root canal treatment done by Dr. Anas, and I couldn’t be more thankful for his care & professionalism. Despite being in severe pain, he was exceptionally patient and made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the entire procedure. Dr. Anas had previously treated my husband for a root canal as well, and both our experiences have been nothing short of excellent. Overall, the dental treatments at this clinic have been of the highest quality, and I wholeheartedly recommend both Dr. Uthappa and Dr. Anas for anyone seeking expert and compassionate dental care. Equally commendable is the clinic’s receptionist, Ms. Fritz, who is always polite, friendly, and professional. She communicates clearly when it comes to scheduling appointments, sending reminders, and is also very efficient with handling insurance claims. Her support and pleasant approach help make each visit to the clinic smooth and welcoming.

I did Damon braces with Dr. Fida and had an amazing experience. I had a crossbite, and the treatment took about a year and two months but I’d see rapid results in between each appointment. The team was always organized and made sure I never missed an appointment. The clinic was always clean and welcoming. I truly couldn’t be happier with the results and cannot believe how perfect my teeth are now thanks to Dr Fida. I highly recommend this clinic

I went in to meet with Dr Deepak today for a consultation to get Invisalign. He’s hands down the most attentive & detail oriented doctor I’ve ever met. He’s thorough, helped me carve out a plan & explained the process clearly. It’s rare to find a doctor who creates value the first time you meet them & isn’t transactional in nature. The experience superseded my expectations & I’ll be starting my Invisalign journey very soon. Would absolutely recommend the clinic to anyone!

I am very much pleased with my Invisalign journey with Dr Deepak Sharma. Saw some drastic changes after 5 weeks of the treatment. Now I am down to my last 5 adjustments and the result is beyond my expectation. Plus, I did only 4 dental visits for 5.5 months. How convenient is that. Kudos!

One of the best dental clinics in Dubai with excellent doctors, very friendly and professional staff, well maintained, following proper hygiene as per covid norms and the best part is the treatment is reasonably priced. I am very happy with my dental treatment by Dr. Deepak. Along with the treatment, doctor has also explained the entire process along with the root cause of mis alignment. I was also provided with additional details about how to prevent cavities in the kids and adults which no doctor had ever mentioned. Very happy with the services provided. Recommending to visit it.

I came in this clinic hopeless with a very bad experience from a so called VIP Clinic. Happily, I found this dental clinic which is very welcoming and caring with their patients, starting from the reception, the nurse and the doctors. Dr. Deepak is currently doing my dental treatment and he is very professional and knows how to treat patients nicely. One thing I like about this clinic is they are not after money, their main goal is to make their patients happy and satisfied. Now I am very satisfied with the improvement of my teeth and I’m planning to do further treatments with them. I highly recommend the place and if you’re going to ask me based from my personal experience since I have already tried a lot of clinics, I must say this is the number 1 dental clinic in Dubai. 😊 Thank you Avance Dental team!
