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 went to Aspen Dental as a new patient for X-rays after being overdue for an appointment, and I’m so glad I did. I was able to receive care the same day, which was such a relief. I don’t currently have dental insurance, but David, the office manager, was absolutely amazing. He took the time to explain all of my options clearly and helped me find a plan that worked for my situation without any pressure. From start to finish, the entire staff was more than friendly and welcoming. The front desk team, Adriana and Madison, made check-in easy and stress-free. The X-ray technician was incredibly patient and kind, which I truly appreciated. Juan, the hygienist, was experienced, very gentle, and informative throughout my visit. Dr. Mo was professional and reassuring, and the dental assistants Akeana and Vanessa made me feel comfortable the entire time. It’s not easy going to the dentist, especially after waiting too long, but this team made the experience positive and judgment-free. I highly recommend Aspen Dental in Stuart to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable care—especially if you’re uninsured and worried about options.

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