Why You Might Need a Root Canal
A root canal becomes necessary when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to decay, cracks, trauma, or a deep filling.
Instead of removing the tooth, dentists clean the canals, disinfect the area, and seal it to prevent further infection.
Thanks to modern technology and expert endodontic techniques, the procedure is far quicker and more comfortable than most people expect.
Because patients like to prepare properly, it’s natural to ask: how long does a root canal take when performed by experienced dental professionals?
How Long Does a Root Canal Take in Hungary?
The exact duration varies depending on which tooth requires treatment and how complex the anatomy is.
Here’s a clear breakdown:
1. Front Teeth (One Canal) Front teeth normally have a single canal. Typical time: 30–45 minutes. This is usually the quickest type of root canal.
2. Premolars (One or Two Canals) Premolars can require slightly more work.
Typical time: 45–60 minutes.
3. Molars (Three or Four Canals) Molars require the greatest precision. Typical time: 60–90 minutes. Patients often ask again: how long does a root canal take if the infection is severe?
At Perfect Smile Dental Clinic Hungary, all root canal treatments are completed in one visit, regardless of infection level.
Our advanced technology and highly experienced endodontic team ensure efficient, successful single-visit treatment.
