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.

I had an accident last night and fell on a sidewalk while walking my dog. Most of my injuries were to my face and I lost one of my front teeth. I am a visitor and did not know what to do or where to go but saw good reviews for Aspen Dental, Panama City Beach, Fl. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. David Quach and Dental Assistant, Amy. The care they gave me was the best dental care I’ve ever had. They went above and beyond to do a procedure to try to save my tooth. Dr, Quach is knowledgeable and comforting. Amy, is so professional and caring. I am so grateful for their care. From Keshia, the front desk administrator, to the checkout person (I am sorry I didn’t get his name) everyone was friendly, helpful, caring and professional. Their facility is beautiful, very clean and welcoming.

Everyone was so nice, first time customer and first time going to the dentist in a while and Idk why i put it off so long. Was super easy, very friendly, had nothing to worry about. Even asked my nurse if I would be getting her every time! Already told some friends about this place too 🤗 excited to see my progress in the future

I fell and had an accident late on Saturday afternoon and knocked out my entire front teeth. Aspen Dental is going to put my teeth back in treat my gums and make me have teeth again!

If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Panama City Beach, 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.
