“How long does a root canal on a front tooth take?”

30 to 45 minutes

That depends on 3 things. The anatomy of the tooth is a major indicator of how long it will take. Most front teeth have simple anatomy and it's rarely an issue. But they can sometimes be challenging. It also depends on the skill and expertise of the dentist performing the procedure. It will also depend on the patient. If they are a good patient who's cooperative and isn't scared, then obviously it will go much faster than if they are scared and anxious. Under normal conditions where the anatomy of the tooth is normal, the patient is cooperative and the dentist is skilled in endodontics, we block an hour off the schedule. The root canal itself I will normally complete in 10 to 15 minutes after the anesthetic has had time to work. If the patient needs a root canal and crown, then it normally takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours from seating the patient until they are dismissed.

Hi,

Typically, a root canal on the front tooth can take about 45 minutes.

In most cases, 1 visit. If there is a serious infection, maybe 2 visits.
