Root Canal Treatment

Overview

Modern root canal therapy is a comfortable, effective procedure that saves infected teeth and relieves pain. Our advanced techniques ensure minimal discomfort and optimal results.

Benefits

The Procedure

Root canal treatment involves removing infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the tooth interior, and sealing it with biocompatible materials. Most procedures are completed in 1-2 visits with local anesthesia.

Aftercare

Some sensitivity is normal for a few days after treatment. A crown is usually recommended to protect the treated tooth. Maintain good oral hygiene to prevent future issues.

Expected Results

Root canal treatment has a success rate of over 95%. Treated teeth can last a lifetime with proper care and restoration.

Frequently asked questions

Does a root canal hurt?

+

The procedure itself, done under proper anaesthesia and magnification, is comfortable — often more so than the pain that brought you in. Post-procedure soreness for 2–4 days is normal and managed with standard pain relief.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

+

For posterior teeth (premolars and molars) — usually yes, within 4–8 weeks. Treated teeth are more brittle and a crown prevents fracture. Anterior teeth sometimes don’t need a crown if the access cavity is small.

How much does a root canal cost in Muscat?

+

Single-canal tooth OMR 60–100. Molar with 3–4 canals OMR 100–180. A crown afterwards typically OMR 150–280. Insurance often covers part of the treatment.

How many visits does a root canal take?

+

Most cases finish in 1 or 2 visits of 60–90 minutes each. Complex or infected cases sometimes need a third visit for healing checks. Retreatment cases typically take 2 visits.

Can the tooth be saved without a root canal?

+

If the nerve is healthy and only the filling is leaking — yes, a large filling or onlay suffices. If the nerve is infected or the pulp has died, extraction or root canal are the two real options. We show you the X-ray before recommending.
