“I’ve heard root canals are awful.”

Numbed, checked on, and you can pause any time.

It’s the story everyone has heard. Here’s what happens with Dr Sabeer. He numbs the tooth and checks you’re comfortable before he starts and as he works. You can ask him to pause at any time, and he tells you what he’s doing as he goes. Your jaw may feel stiff afterwards from keeping your mouth open. So you know what’s coming before you sit down.

Scared of dentists, best place by far

“I am chronically scared of dentists. I’ve had a lot of dental work in my life and this is the best place by far.”

Mark E., Google review, October 2023 (a patient of Dr Sabeer)

A patient laughing with a member of the team at Sale Dental Spa

“Should I just have it out?”

Taking it out is from £180, saving a back tooth £795.

It’s a fair question, and taking it out is the smaller bill today, from £180. Saving it is £795 for a back tooth. Filling the gap later means a bridge, a denture or an implant, and an implant is from £2,500. Dr Sabeer prices both side by side at your consultation, and tells you honestly if the tooth can’t be saved. So you choose with both numbers in front of you.

Worried about losing the tooth, then booked

“After putting it off due to feeling nervous & worried I’d end up losing the tooth..I had a consultation with Dr Sabeer then booked in to have the procedure done.”

“What will it actually cost?”

Front teeth from £650, back teeth £795.

No hidden plus sign. The consultation with Dr Sabeer is £100, and it comes off your treatment. A front tooth is from £650. A premolar or molar is £795. A complex case adds £50, and redoing an earlier root canal adds £150. Every fee is on your written plan before anything starts, and treatment of £750 or more can be spread at 0% over 12 months.

Carried out exactly as explained

“... the treatment was carried out exactly as previously explained.”

“How many visits will it take?”

It depends on the tooth. You’ll know before you decide.

Dr Sabeer tells you at your consultation how many appointments yours needs and what happens at each one, before you decide. He’s here on Wednesdays from 9:30am to 8pm. So an evening visit can fit round work.

“Will I need a crown on top?”

Often for a back tooth, priced before you start.

Sometimes. A back tooth often needs a crown to protect it after a root canal. Dr Sabeer tells you before you start whether yours is likely to, with the price: porcelain £795, zirconium £1,200. So the full cost is on your plan from the first day.

“I had a root canal before and it failed.”

Dr Sabeer redoes them, for an extra £150.

Dentists refer these cases to him. He looks at the tooth at your consultation and tells you your options and their prices before anything starts.

Complicated re-root canal, made manageable

“They made my lengthy and complicated re-root canal procedure, not only tolerable and manageable, but we really had some laughs along the way!”

The tooth is numbed and removed, usually in one visit. A surgical extraction is £275.
