DEPARTMENT OF ENDODONTICS AND RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Saving Natural Teeth with Endodontic and Restorative Care
The Endodontics and Restorative Department focuses on removing dental decay, treating necrotic pulp tissues, the nerves and blood vessels of the tooth, and preserving the tooth’s natural structure, function, and aesthetics.
At Al Shamil, early decay can be restored with tooth-colored materials, while deeper infection can be treated with root canal treatment to preserve the natural tooth.

ENDODONTIC AND RESTORATIVE SERVICES
Dental Services Available Under This Department
A. General Dentistry
General dentistry under the Endodontics and Restorative Department focuses on preserving the tooth’s natural structure, function, and aesthetics through early diagnosis, decay removal, tooth-colored restorations, aesthetic fillings, and preventive restorative care.
If decay is caught early within the enamel or dentin, the tooth can be saved using simple, tooth-colored restorative materials.
- Tooth-Colored Restorations
- Aesthetic Fillings
- Composite Restorations
- Pit and Fissure Sealants
B. Root Canal Treatment Cost in Sharjah
Once decay invades the pulp, it causes severe infection or an abscess. At this stage, root canal treatment is required to remove the dead pulp tissue, disinfect the canal, and seal it.
Root canal treatment is highly successful for both primary milk teeth and adult permanent teeth.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry FAQs
It is a specialized field of dentistry focused on saving and restoring teeth that have deep internal decay or nerve infections.
A filling utilizes safe, inert materials to restore a decayed tooth back to its original shape and function.
When the protective enamel wears away and exposes the underlying dentin, hot, cold, or sweet stimuli can directly reach the nerve pathways, causing a sharp, electric sensation.
First, any underlying decay must be filled by a dentist. Additionally, using desensitizing or fluoride toothpastes can help minimize symptoms.
Ceramic fillings, also known as inlays or onlays, are custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory to perfectly fit a cavity preparation. They are exceptionally durable and strong compared to standard composite fillings.
When a tooth’s inner nerve becomes infected or dead, the root canal process saves the physical tooth by thoroughly cleaning out the pulp chamber and sealing it with an inert material.
This technique utilizes dental lasers to sterilize and clean the intricate pathways of the root canal system, often yielding superior disinfection compared to conventional methods.
Performing a root canal treatment under a high-powered dental microscope allows for exceptional precision, ensuring hidden canals are safely identified and treated.
Occasionally, a tooth may not have any decay, but a deep gum infection can travel down the root and infect the nerve from the bottom up. This complex scenario requires integrated root canal and periodontal therapy.
Heavy biting forces, accidental trauma, or age-related brittleness can cause microscopic fractures in a tooth. This often results in sharp pain during chewing that is difficult to spot on standard X-rays, often requiring a root canal or, in severe cases, an extraction.
