A standard root canal treatment at Midjersey Family & Implant Dentistry typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes per session, with one to two sessions usually required to complete the treatment. However, for complex cases, the procedure may require additional sessions, each lasting up to approximately 90 minutes. At the initial appointment, Dr. Raissi or Dr. Elmorshedy will conduct a thorough examination and use X-rays to assess the scope of the condition or infection. They will then administer local anesthesia to numb the area. The removal of the infected pulp usually takes about 45-60 minutes. After the infected pulp is removed, the root canal space will be meticulously cleaned, shaped, and disinfected. This process can typically take anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes. your dentist will fill the treated root canal with a biocompatible material, such as gutta-percha, to seal the canals and prevent future infection. This filling process typically takes about 15-30 minutes. At Midjersey Family & Implant Dentistry, following the filling, a temporary filling will be placed to protect the treated tooth. In between sessions, this temporary filling safeguards the tooth until a permanent restoration can be placed.
