Fahad has a special interest in root canal treatment (endodontics) and the management of complex dental pain, failing teeth and difficult endodontic cases. Root canal treatment has an undeserved reputation as one of the most feared procedures in dentistry. Fahad is deeply committed to changing that perception. Using a methodical, evidence-based approach and advanced magnification technology, he consistently delivers root canal treatment that is comfortable, predictable and, for the vast majority of patients, far less daunting than they expected.
Fahad routinely treats root canal cases using specialist magnification equipment that allows him to visualise the fine internal anatomy of root canal systems in exceptional detail. This level of precision is particularly important in complex cases where canals may be narrow, curved, calcified or unusual in configuration – situations where treatment without magnification carries a significantly higher risk of complications.
He is experienced in managing re-treatment cases (patients who have had previous root canal treatment elsewhere that has failed). Re-treatment cases are often significantly more complex than primary root canal procedures, and they are the cases Fahad finds most rewarding, where careful diagnosis, clinical judgement and a methodical approach can salvage a tooth that others have written off.
