How many visits is a root canal?
A root canal typically takes 1 to 2 visits to complete, depending on the severity of the infection and the tooth being treated.
Single visit: Many root canals, especially on front teeth with simpler root structures, can be completed in one appointment.
Two visits: Molars or severely infected teeth may require two visits—one for cleaning and medicating the canals, and another to seal the tooth.
Your dentist will determine the exact number of visits based on your specific case.
