Root canal treatment Karachi: save your natural teeth with expert care by a licensed consultant endodontist in Tauheed Commercial.
For decades, this treatment has had a reputation for being painful. That is outdated thinking in modern dentistry. The truth is, the infection inside your tooth is causing the severe pain, the treatment is the procedure that stops the pain.
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 comfortable, often single-visit treatments.

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 urgent treatment 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 cases are straightforward. General dentists frequently encounter complications and refer their most difficult cases to Dr. Shahid Islam due to his specialised FCPS training in endodontic microsurgery and complex anatomy management.
If a previous treatment from years ago has failed, become reinfected, or was improperly sealed, we specialise 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 specialised 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 usually comfortable. It feels similar to getting a standard filling.
At our Phase 5 clinic, treatments start from PKR 20,000. The exact cost depends on the tooth's position (front tooth vs. molar) and the complexity of the 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.
