Considering root canal treatment in Islamabad? Here's how the treatment works, step by step.
Diagnosis & X-ray
We examine the tooth and take an X-ray to confirm infection and assess the extent of damage.
Anesthesia & access
The area is fully numbed, then a small opening is made to reach the infected pulp inside the tooth.
Cleaning & shaping
The infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned, disinfected, and carefully shaped.
Filling & crown
The canal is sealed, and a crown is placed to protect and restore full function to the tooth.

What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects, and seals the empty canal to stop pain and prevent further infection. It's most often needed when deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental work has reached the nerve. According to the American Association of Endodontists, root canal treatment has a success rate of over 95%, making it one of the most reliable ways to save a natural tooth.

You have persistent or severe tooth pain, especially when chewing
Your tooth is sensitive to hot or cold long after the sensation should pass
You notice swelling, a pimple-like bump, or darkening of the gums nearby
You have deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental work on the same tooth
If the tooth is too badly damaged to save, extraction may be advised instead — we'll assess this at consultation

Frequently asked questions
The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so most patients feel little to no pain. Modern techniques have made root canals far more comfortable than their reputation suggests.
Most root canals are completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth and severity of infection. A crown, if needed, is usually placed in a follow-up visit.
Back teeth usually need a crown afterward since they bear heavy chewing forces and become more brittle after treatment. Front teeth may only need a filling.
With a properly placed crown and good oral hygiene, a treated tooth can last a lifetime.
Saving your natural tooth is almost always preferable to extraction, as it preserves your bite, jawbone, and avoids the need for an implant or bridge later.
Aftercare tips after root canal treatment in Islamabad
Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until your permanent crown or filling is placed, and take any prescribed pain relief as directed. Maintain good oral hygiene and attend your follow-up appointment so Dr. Mahnoor can complete the restoration. If you experience severe pain, swelling, or a bad taste after treatment, contact the clinic promptly.
