Is Root Canal Treatment Painful? What to Expect

This guide explains what to expect from root canal treatment and what to look for when choosing a clinic. It does not rank clinics and it does not quote other clinics' marketing claims.

Why a crown is usually recommended after a root canal

A back tooth that has had a root canal is more brittle. A crown is often recommended to protect it while chewing. Your dentist will say whether a crown is needed after examining the tooth.

Magnum Clinic offers specialist-led root canal treatment in JVC, Arjan, JLT and Dubai Silicon Oasis. Book a consultation so the dentist can examine the tooth and explain the plan before treatment starts.

What to look for when choosing a clinic

Choosing a dental clinic is a personal decision. Useful things to check include: that the dentist holds a current licence from the Dubai Health Authority (you can verify this on the DHA register); whether the dentist has specialist training in the treatment you need; what technology and imaging the clinic uses and why; how the treatment plan, expected duration and full cost are explained before you start; the aftercare and follow-up offered; and how convenient the clinic's location and opening hours are for you. We encourage you to ask questions, compare written treatment plans and take the time you need before deciding.
