A root canal treats infection or damage deep inside a tooth, removing the source of pain and saving the tooth rather than extracting it. Dr. Tarun Kalra, an MDS-qualified specialist, completes most root canal treatments in a single sitting — meaning less time off work and fewer visits to the clinic.
The procedure itself is done under local anaesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during treatment. In fact, RCT relieves the pain caused by the underlying infection.
In most straightforward cases, yes — Dr. Tarun Kalra specialises in single-sitting RCT. More complex cases may need a follow-up visit, which he'll explain upfront.
The tooth is typically capped with a crown to protect it and restore full chewing function — see our Crowns & Bridges page for details.
