Root canal cost in Dubai — what affects the price
Patients comparing root canal prices are often quoted for the canal treatment alone; the crown that protects a back tooth is a separate stage.
Root canal cost in Dubai depends mainly on the tooth — front teeth usually have one canal, molars three or four — whether it is a first treatment or a retreatment, the number of visits and whether a crown is needed afterwards. Many UAE insurance plans cover part of root canal treatment.
Key facts
- Molars more complex than front teeth
- Retreatment takes longer
- Crown is a separate stage
- Insurance often covers part
Which tooth
Molars take longer and are more complex than front teeth, which affects cost.
First treatment or retreatment
Redoing an old root canal involves removing previous filling material and usually takes longer.
The restoration afterwards
A filling may be enough for front teeth; back teeth commonly need a crown to prevent fracture.
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals them. It relieves toothache and allows you to keep your natural tooth instead of extracting it.
