How long does a root canal take?

Most root canals take about 1–2 hours. The exact time depends on which tooth is being treated and how complex the infection is. Your Aspen Dental care team will walk you through the plan before starting, so you know what to expect and can plan your day around it.

Thanks to modern anesthesia and techniques, we try to help our patients feel as comfortable as possible. You may notice some soreness or sensitivity afterward, but that can usually be managed with over-the-counter medication or instructions from your care team.

Is root canal treatment an emergency?

In many cases, it can be. If the infection of the root canal inside your tooth spreads, it may affect nearby teeth, gums or even bone. That’s why it’s important to get care quickly when you notice lingering pain or swelling. Aspen Dental offers same-day appointments in many locations to treat urgent needs.

How long do root canals last?

With proper care, a root canal can last decades. After the procedure, your Aspen Dental dentist may recommend a crown to protect the tooth and restore strength. Good oral hygiene and regular checkups all play a role in keeping the treated tooth healthy long term.

Dr Simeon is the most compassionate dentist I’ve ever met, and Heather is Amazing. I don’t have dental insurance and my bottom denture broke and without dental insurance it can be expensive but Heather applied a few coupons and even helped me apply for a CareCard.. Sarah, Luz and Meghan made me feel at home. Everyone was amazing. Thanks Lawrence (lab technician) for giving me my smile back… Best experience I’ve ever had at the Dentist, great group of people.. Merry Christmas

The staff is great so helpful and caring. Heather works very hard to get you the best price

I went in with a dental emergency and the entire staff went above and beyond to make sure I was seen and helped ASAP! Everyone is so kind and they explained everything thoroughly. I will gladly be going back as a regular now.

What is a root canal?

A root canal is an endodontic treatment that cleans infection inside your tooth so we can save it instead of taking it out. If left untreated, the pulp that has nerves or tissue may die as a result of infection. Left untreated, an infected tooth can cause damage and lead to other issues. At Aspen Dental, your comfort is our priority at every step—we’ll explain everything and keep you comfortable throughout the process. If cost is what’s holding you back, don’t delay your visit—we accept most insurances and financing options—so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
