Single-Sitting Root Canals: A Faster, Better Way to Save Your Tooth
Single sitting Root canal
If you’ve been told you need a root canal, you’re probably feeling very anxious — and you’re not alone. Root canal therapy has a reputation for being time-consuming and uncomfortable. Multiple appointments and a lot of pain are what you may remember from your previous experience. But modern dentistry has come a long way. At Dr.Spandana’s Dentistry, we’re proud to offer Single-Sitting Root Canals, a faster and highly effective solution that can save your natural tooth in just one visit.
Dr.Spandana Sripada, dentist with the AAID fellowship & years of experience, also one of the most sought-after dentists in Hyderabad. Dr. Sripada uses a Minimal Intervention process. This method helps to keep as much of the tooth as possible.
What is Single sitting Root canal?
Traditionally, root canal treatment required 2-3 or more appointments. However, with advancements in dental technology, it is now possible to complete the entire procedure (cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the root canal) in a single sitting.
This means less time away from work, reduced discomfort, and quicker relief from dental pain.
How does it work?
This initial visit involves a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth, and jawbone. X-rays and CT scans may be taken to assess your bone density and determine the best placement for the implants.
You’ll discuss your goals and expectations with your dentist or oral surgeon to develop a personalized treatment plan.

A temporary filling is often placed during the same visit.
The temporary filling is replaced with a permanent filling, and the tooth is prepared to receive a dental crown. Measurements are taken, which are sent to the dental lab, where a customised tooth is fabricated for you. The tooth will then be fixed in the subsequent appointment.
Because of cutting-edge tools like digital imaging, apex locators, and rotary endodontics, the process is quicker, safer, and more predictable than ever before.
Who is a good candidate for Single sitting root canal
While many patients are ideal candidates for single-sitting procedures, your dentist will assess your situation. Generally, this treatment is highly effective if:
- The infection is localized and not spreading severely.
- The anatomy of the tooth is straightforward.
- There are no previous complex dental treatments for the tooth.
If there is extensive infection or complications like swelling, your dentist might recommend a staged approach instead.
