Gentle, modern root canal treatment that relieves pain and preserves a tooth that would otherwise be lost. Carried out at our Mirdif clinic by experienced dentists.
A root canal treats infection or inflammation deep inside a tooth, in the soft pulp that holds the nerve and blood supply. When decay, a crack, or trauma lets bacteria reach the pulp, it can cause pain, swelling, and sensitivity, and if left untreated, the tooth is often lost.
Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it, allowing you to keep your natural tooth rather than extract it. At Pure White, our dentists in Mirdif carry out root canal treatment with modern techniques and anaesthetic, so the experience is far more comfortable than its old reputation suggests.
Once the tooth is treated and sealed, it’s usually restored with a filling or crown to protect it and return it to full function.
Treatment is completed in one or two visits depending on the tooth and the level of infection.
Only a dental examination and X-ray can confirm whether a root canal is needed; some of these signs can have other causes.
Feature
Function
Composite fillings are a good fit for:
If an examination shows the tooth is beyond repair, your dentist will discuss extraction and replacement options such as an implant or bridge.
Examination & X-ray Your dentist assesses the tooth and takes an X-ray to see the root canals and the extent of infection.
Anaesthetic The area is fully numbed so the procedure is comfortable throughout.
Cleaning the Canals The infected pulp is removed, and the canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
Sealing The cleaned canals are filled with a sealing material, and the tooth is temporarily or permanently closed.
Final Restoration The tooth is restored with a filling or crown to protect it and return it to full strength.
