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.

Jessica and Dr. ROBLES were very amazing... Im always nervous about the dentist. This was comfortable. And I love how they broke down the Financials to me since I dont have insurance. Very easy to understand! I definitely recommend!

Dr. Robles‘s was very professional and courteous. Autumn was extremely cordial. It made me very comfortable in unusually tense situation. Kate and Jessica squared me up financially and we’re extremely pleasant. 10 out of 10 recommend any dental needs that you have you go here.

I haven’t had my extraction appointment yet but staff have been more than helpful getting me set up and not making me feel out of place. I’m definitely more than comfortable coming up here and getting all my dental work done in the future as well. And especially Jessica, she was more than helpful and patient with me when getting my payment plan set up. Super helpful lady! And super great staff, I’m more than happy with the Granbury location

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.
