Dr. Zeyad Elbeltagy

Endodontist & Cosmetic Dentist

Dr. Zeyad Elbeltagy handles root canal treatment and cosmetic dentistry at Abul Makarem Dental Clinics.

Endodontics is the work that saves a tooth rather than replacing it. When decay or a crack reaches the nerve, the choice is usually between treating the inside of the tooth and losing it — and the difference between those two outcomes is largely down to how carefully the canals are cleaned, shaped and sealed. It is unhurried, detailed work, and it is the reason a tooth can stay in place for years after the pain that brought you in has gone.

The cosmetic side is the same tooth from the other direction. A tooth that has had a root canal often needs rebuilding afterwards, and how that repair looks matters to most people as much as whether it holds. Dr. Zeyad’s cases frequently span both: treat the nerve first, then restore the tooth so it matches the ones beside it.
