How long does a root canal take_

A root canal typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the tooth and the root structure. For example, if the tooth has multiple canals or if the infection is extensive, the procedure may take longer. In some cases, the procedure may be done over multiple appointments, especially if the infection is severe or if the dentist needs to allow time for the tooth to heal before placing a final filling or crown. However, most root canal treatments can be completed in a single visit.
