Typical price in Fujairah
AED 900 – 3,400
per tooth, excluding crown
A root canal typically costs AED 1,200 to 4,500 per tooth in Dubai, based on published clinic prices. Front teeth are at the lower end and molars, which have three or four canals, at the upper end. Most back teeth also need a crown afterwards, which adds AED 1,500 to 4,000. Clinics in Fujairah typically publish lower prices than Dubai; the ranges on this page are adjusted for that.
Molar root canals by a specialist endodontist using a microscope, and re-treatment of a previously failed root canal, usually cost AED 3,500 to 6,000.

What changes the price
- Tooth type and number of canals.
- Specialist endodontist versus general dentist, and use of an operating microscope.
- Curved, calcified or blocked canals, which take longer.
- Whether it is a first treatment or a re-treatment.
- Number of visits and whether X-rays and temporary fillings are included.
Does insurance cover it?
Root canal treatment is a basic restorative procedure and is covered by many UAE plans that include dental, usually with a 10 to 30 percent co-pay up to the annual dental limit. Pre-approval is commonly required. The crown afterwards may be classed as prosthetic and covered at a lower rate or not at all, so check both items.
Find dentists by insurance providerHow to pay less without cutting corners
- Ask for pre-approval for both the root canal and the crown before treatment starts.
- Do not delay. A tooth treated early is cheaper and more predictable to save than one with a large abscess.
- Ask whether a general dentist can handle your case or whether a specialist referral is genuinely needed; straightforward front teeth rarely need a specialist.
- Compare the cost of saving the tooth with the full cost of extraction plus an implant, which is usually higher.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a molar root canal in Dubai?
Typical published prices are AED 2,000 to 4,500, plus AED 1,500 to 4,000 for a crown. Specialist re-treatments can cost more.
Is a root canal covered by insurance in the UAE?
Often yes, if your plan includes dental. Expect a co-pay and an annual limit, and get pre-approval first.
Is it cheaper to pull the tooth?
Extraction is cheaper on the day, but replacing the tooth with an implant or bridge later usually costs more than the root canal and crown.
How many visits does a root canal take?
Often one or two visits of 60 to 90 minutes. Infected teeth sometimes need a medicated dressing between visits.
