Root Canal Treatment
Advanced, Gentle Root Canal Procedures to Save Your Natural Teeth
What Are Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. When the inner pulp of the tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or injury, a root canal helps remove the infection and protect the tooth from further damage.
This treatment relieves pain, restores function, and helps preserve your natural tooth.
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) in I-8 Markaz, Islamabad
If you’re searching for a trusted root canal treatment in Islamabad, True Dental Care Islamabad is located right in I-8 Markaz, behind KFC and below Soneri Bank — easy to reach whether you’re coming from I-9, I-10, F-6, F-7, F-8, G-8, G-9, or across the highway from Rawalpindi.
A root canal becomes necessary when the inner pulp of a tooth — the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels — becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, repeated dental procedures, or an injury. Left untreated, this infection can spread, cause an abscess, and eventually lead to tooth loss.
At True Dental Care Islamabad, root canal treatment is performed by Dr Wafa Abdi and Dr. Qurat-ul-Ain Bilal, FCPS Consultant in Operative Dentistry & Endodontics (PMDC #20749-D), using modern rotary instrumentation and digital diagnostics for a precise, comfortable, and predictable procedure. Our goal is always to save your natural tooth wherever possible, rather than moving straight to extraction.
We also treat patients visiting Islamabad from overseas — including the UK, Italy, USA, and the Gulf (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) — who need reliable root canal care during a short trip home.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Book a consultation at our I-8 Markaz clinic if you notice:
- Severe or throbbing toothache, especially when biting or chewing
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
- Swollen, tender, or darkened gums around a tooth
- A tooth that has visibly darkened or discolored
- A recurring pimple-like bump (abscess) on the gum
- Pain that has suddenly stopped after being intense (can indicate the nerve has died)
If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait — untreated infection can spread to the jawbone and surrounding teeth.
How Root Canal Treatment Works at True Dental Care Islamabad
- Diagnosis — A clinical exam and digital X-ray confirm the extent of the infection and the tooth’s condition.
- Local anesthesia — The area is fully numbed so the procedure is comfortable from start to finish.
- Removing the infected pulp — The damaged or infected tissue is carefully cleaned out of the tooth’s root canals.
- Disinfecting and shaping — The canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and shaped using rotary endodontic instruments.
- Sealing — The canals are filled and sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection.
- Restoration — A filling or crown is placed to rebuild the tooth’s strength and restore normal function.
Most root canal treatments at our I-8 Markaz clinic are completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth and the severity of infection.
Root Canal Treatment Cost in Islamabad
Root canal treatment at True Dental Care Islamabad typically ranges from PKR 18,000 to PKR 22,000+ per tooth, depending on the tooth’s location, the number of canals, and whether a crown is needed afterward. (Placeholder range — please confirm current pricing before publishing.)

Aftercare Tips
- Avoid chewing hard or sticky foods on the treated tooth until it’s fully restored with a filling or crown
- Continue brushing twice daily and flossing gently around the treated tooth
- Mild sensitivity for a few days is normal — over-the-counter pain relief usually helps
- Return for your follow-up crown or filling appointment as scheduled
- Contact us immediately if you notice swelling, worsening pain, or pressure
