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 really don't like going to the dentist but Aspen Dental in Macedonia made the experience very pleasant(considering what I need done!😹😉). The staff was very nice and helpful. Everything about my treatment was explained in complete detail. Then my dental hygienist Kayla had turned my frown upside down into a big smile by the time I left. Kayla was so patient and understanding with me. She's my little dental angel!!!😇 All around the entire staff was great to me. I'm sticking with Aspen Dental in Macedonia and will recommend them to my family and friends!!!😃

First of all let’s talk about the vibe as you walk in, there is a serenity that can’t be put into words. The receptionists were pleasant and smiled. They even helped me get the treatment I needed when I didn’t think it was possible!! I had two extractions & an intense surgery that was NOT bad at all! She was very responsive to my needs & checked in on me as she was operating I’m very happy & grateful to have such amazing people at this particular office! Go Aspen Go!

I actually had a great dental experience with the staff at this Aspen. I've always had a fear of the dentist but here they made sure to make sure I was comfortable and very well informed on what they were doing and what their next plans were. I have a root canal appointment coming up and probably for the first time Im not all the way afraid to go. Shoutout to the staff here. They are absolutely wonderful!

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