The root canal process alone will take only a single appointment. Dr. Jensen/Dr. Hirst creates the hole in the crown of the tooth for access; removes all the inner tissue, blood vessels, and nerve endings; completely disinfects the tooth interior; fills the tooth with gutta-percha, and then usually applies a filling over the hole and places a temporary crown atop the tooth. We will have a dental lab create your custom crown off impressions we take. This will take about two weeks. When it is ready, you’ll return for your second appointment, and we’ll place the new crown over your tooth permanently.
Otherwise, you shouldn’t have anything but a little soreness after your root canal with Dr. Jensen or Dr. Hirst.
