THE PROCESS

What to Expect

With modern instruments, suitable root canal treatments can be finished in a single, well-planned visit.

1

Examination & X-ray

We check that your tooth is suitable for treatment in a single visit.

2

Numbing & Access

The tooth is numbed, and a small opening is made to reach the inner pulp.

3

Cleaning & Shaping

The infected pulp is removed, and the canals are cleaned, shaped and disinfected.

4

Sealing & Restoration

The canals are filled and sealed in the same visit, and the tooth is restored or prepared for a crown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about single sitting root canal treatment.

For suitable cases, yes. Success depends on careful cleaning and sealing, not on the number of visits. We tell you honestly if your tooth needs more than one.

No. The tooth is fully numbed, and most patients find the treatment comfortable.

Usually between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the tooth.

Not always. Teeth with severe infection or complex canals may need more visits, and we will advise you after examination.

Often yes, especially for back teeth, to protect the treated tooth from cracking.

Avoid chewing hard foods on that side until the tooth is fully restored, and take any prescribed medicines as advised.
