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.

Working with Dayana Melendez was an excellent experience from start to finish. From our first interaction, she demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication, which immediately built trust. Dayana was always available to answer questions and made sure every need was addressed with thoughtful and effective solutions. Her approach is friendly, respectful, and genuinely client-focused. It’s clear that she takes pride in delivering high-quality service. The level of organization, follow-up, and care she provides truly exceeded my expectations, and the final outcome reflected her strong commitment to excellence. I highly recommend Dayana Melendez to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and dedicated service. It was a pleasure working with her, and I would absolutely work with her again.

Dental Hygenist Kriss exceeded my expectations & brought my confidence back. Ive had terrible experiences in the past with getting my teeth cleaned which lead me to avoid going to the dentist office all together negatively impacting my teeth overtime. I came in with terrible plaque & my gums inflamed & walked out with pearly white clean teeth & after my second treatment for gingivitis my gums were no longer bleeding or inflamed. Kriss was so professional & attentive to my needs. I need more people to experience her care, she is amazing & will have your teeth looking & feeling right. I loved the dynamic of the team at this Aspen dental office. Ive been to several of their offices & this office has been the best one so far. They work together & help eachother deliver excellent patient care. Adrian is very knowledgeable and took my xrays without discomfort & he has an awesome personality, dentist melendez is awesome too, she filled in my cavities pain free & Im so excited to start my motto aligners with her! Natalia working front desk was very patient with all my questions & helping me understand what my insurance would help cover & gave me options to be able to afford my procedures I would recommend this office to anyone! Its worth the drive!

If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Orlando, our care team provides root canal treatment close to home—so you don’t have to wait to feel relief.

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.
