Save your natural teeth with expert, completely painless root canal therapy by a Licensed Consultant Endodontist in Tauheed Commercial.
For decades, root canals have had a reputation for being painful. This is completely false in modern dentistry. The truth is, the infection inside your tooth is causing the severe pain, the root canal is the procedure that stops the pain immediately.
Dr. Shahid Islam is a Fellow of the College of Physicians and Surgeons (FCPS) in Operative Dentistry and Endodontics, a Licensed Consultant Endodontist (KSA), and a Member of the European Society of Endodontology. His advanced techniques ensure that patients from across DHA Phase 5, Phase 8, and Clifton experience 100% painless, single-visit treatments.
| Treatment Type | Starting Price (PKR) |
|---|---|
| Anterior Root Canal (Front Teeth) | From PKR 20,000 |
| Posterior Root Canal (Molars) | From PKR 40,000 |
| Root Canal Retreatment | From PKR 30,000 |
| Surgical Endodontics (Apicoectomy) | Consultation Required |
If severe decay, a deep cavity, or physical trauma penetrates the outer enamel and reaches the inner pulp (the nerve) of the tooth, the nerve becomes infected and inflamed. Symptoms indicating you need an urgent root canal include:
Pain that worsens when you lie down or wakes you up at night.
A lingering, sharp pain when eating hot or cold foods that lasts for minutes.
Swollen gums, a pimple on the gum (abscess), or pain when chewing.
Not all root canals are straightforward. General dentists frequently encounter complications and refer their most difficult cases to Dr. Shahid Islam due to his specialized FCPS training in endodontic microsurgery and complex anatomy management.
If a previous root canal from years ago has failed, become reinfected, or was improperly sealed, we specialize in safely reopening, cleaning, and retreating the tooth.
Sometimes, microscopic endodontic files break inside the canal during treatment at other clinics. Dr. Shahid uses advanced techniques to safely retrieve these broken instruments and complete the procedure.
Teeth with severe curves (dilaceration) or completely blocked (calcified) canals are impossible to clean with standard tools. We use specialized ultrasonic instruments to navigate and save these teeth.
When a non-surgical retreatment is impossible, we perform periapical microsurgery to remove the infection directly from the root tip inside the jawbone.
No! The infection causes the pain. The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia and is completely painless. It feels similar to getting a standard filling.
At our Phase 5 clinic, root canal treatments start from PKR 20,000. The exact cost depends on the tooth's position (front tooth vs. molar) and the complexity of the root canals.
Yes. Once a tooth's nerve is removed, it loses its blood supply and becomes brittle. A crown protects it from shattering when you chew hard foods.
Typically 45 to 60 minutes. Because Dr. Shahid is an Endodontic specialist, most cases are completed smoothly in a single visit.
Never. Saving your natural tooth is always the best clinical option. An extraction will eventually require an expensive implant or bridge to replace the missing gap.
