A root canal treatment is a reliable way to save an infected or severely damaged tooth. Instead of removing the tooth, the procedure cleans and treats the inside of the root to relieve pain and protect your natural smile. At Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai Marina, we provide root canal therapy using advanced digital imaging and gentle techniques that focus on comfort, accuracy, and long term success.
Our approach aims to preserve the natural tooth whenever possible. Keeping your own tooth helps maintain normal chewing, prevents shifting of surrounding teeth, and protects the overall structure of your mouth.
A root canal becomes necessary when the inner part of the tooth, known as the pulp, becomes infected or inflamed. This may happen due to:
Once the pulp is affected, it cannot heal on its own. Without treatment, the infection may spread, leading to pain, swelling, or even tooth loss. A root canal removes the infection and restores the tooth’s function.
You may need a root canal if you experience:
In some cases, there are no obvious symptoms, which is why regular dental check ups are important for early detection.
A root canal procedure is methodical and focused on removing infection while keeping the tooth structure intact.
We begin with a thorough examination and digital X rays or CBCT scans to map the roots and evaluate the extent of infection. This helps us plan the treatment with precision.
After numbing the area for complete comfort, the infected pulp is carefully removed. The inner canals are then cleaned and shaped to eliminate bacteria and prepare the space for sealing.
Once the canals are fully cleaned, they are filled with a biocompatible material that protects the tooth from future infection.
Most teeth need a crown after root canal treatment to restore strength and appearance. This final step ensures the tooth remains functional and durable.
Modern root canal treatment is far more comfortable than in the past. With effective anaesthesia and gentle techniques, most patients feel the procedure is similar to getting a normal filling.
At Cornerstone Clinic, we prioritise clear communication. We explain each step and ensure you feel relaxed and supported throughout the process.
Recovery from a root canal is usually smooth. Mild tenderness may occur for a day or two and can be managed with simple pain relief medication if needed.
To ensure proper healing:
Once restored, the tooth can function normally and can last for many years with regular care.
Choosing a root canal offers several important advantages.
Preserving your natural tooth is almost always the best option for long term oral health.
