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've had irrational fear of dental visits my whole life... This is the only place I will ever go to! They have removed my wisdom teeth, done deep cleaning, and basic care. Always excellent work and very caring staff!

My appointment was set online(by me) on a Thursday afternoon for Friday morning, no issues. I called Friday morning to find out what my visit was going to cost(first time there), $29. Sweet! I had a blister(potential abscess) that was the whole reason for my visit. Abscesses are typically an infection and that infection can spread if left untreated. Anyway, I wanted to find out if indeed this was an abscess or just some random sore on my gum. I showed up early, was greeted promptly, was handed a tablet to fill out medical info, typical stuff for a first time visit. Waiting room was clean and there may have been one more person there waiting for their appointment. I filled out the tablet info, returned it sat back down and waited. They called me back, took x-rays, sat me in an exam room. I waited there for a short time, then was examined by hygienist, then the dentist. I told both my concerns. The hygienist and the dentist both suggested I have a deep clean on all of my teeth, but at the very least in the area of my concern to see if we can't improve the condition(not yet an infection) and if it doesn't improve we'll have to take the tooth out. I said, I'll consider his suggestion...basically appointment over, discussed cost etc. with an office person, paid my $29 and I was out of there. No problems, no hard sales pitch. Overall, my visit was good and I would have no issues returning. In fact, I may return for a sectional deep cleaning, but it was kind of pricey at $330 for a section and about $1k for my entire mouth. That may be fair market value, I don't know.

I called for an emergency repair for my dentures lost a tooth in the front. The office manager got me in quickly with no false expectations and his dental assistant was very nice but doctor Benosman was what they say they offer professional and friendly and affordable services

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.

At Aspen Dental, your comfort is our priority at every step—we’ll explain everything and keep you comfortable throughout the process.
