Same-Day Root CanalIn San Diego
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a specialized dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. When the soft tissue at the center of a tooth—called the pulp—becomes infected due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks, it can cause intense pain and lead to serious complications if left untreated.
During a root canal, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the root canals are filled and sealed to prevent reinfection. The goal is to relieve pain, save your natural tooth, and restore its full function.
Modern root canal therapy is highly effective and often completed in just one visit when appropriate.
Benefits of a Same-Day Root Canal
Quick Pain Relief
Addressing the infection and inflammation immediately helps relieve pressure and discomfort—fast.

With a single visit, you save time, reduce stress, and avoid delays in care.
Advanced Technology, Same-Day Convenience
Our cutting-edge tools ensure your same-day treatment is just as precise and thorough as a traditional multi-visit approach.
Who’s a Good Candidate for a Same-Day Root Canal?
A same-day root canal is ideal for patients experiencing urgent symptoms that require immediate treatment, or for those who want to avoid multiple appointments. You may be a great candidate if you’re experiencing:
Severe tooth pain
Especially if the pain is spontaneous, long-lasting, or keeps you up at night.
Swelling or signs of infection
Including facial swelling, a visible abscess, or red, inflamed gums near the affected tooth.
Sensitivity to heat or cold
Particularly if the sensitivity lingers long after the temperature source is removed.
Busy schedule or travel needs
If you’re on a tight timeline or traveling soon, same-day treatment can help you get relief without delaying care.
At Relieve Root Canal Specialists, we offer same-day root canals when clinically appropriate—allowing you to get out of pain and back to your life faster.
What to Expect During a Same-Day Root Canal Appointment
Diagnostic Imaging & Consultation
We’ll begin by taking a digital X-ray or CBCT scan to determine the extent of the damage and confirm that same-day treatment is appropriate.
Root Canal Treatment
Once diagnosed, we’ll administer local anesthesia and use advanced tools (like the GentleWave system or dental microscopes) to precisely clean and seal your root canals.
Temporary or Final Restoration
Depending on your case, we’ll either place a temporary filling or coordinate with your general dentist for a permanent crown.
Aftercare
Most patients experience mild soreness for a day or two. You’ll receive detailed post-op instructions and tips on how to care for your tooth while it heals.
