How Long do Root Canals Last?


Posted on 2/6/2023 by SRD Tuscumbia
How Long do Root Canals Last?Root canal treatments offer so many benefits to those who suffer from tooth decay and deformities. This is the only procedure that guarantees a fully functional tooth even after your tooth has grown deep cavities. Although there are other options available, root canal treatments are much better since they give you the freedom to live your normal life after the procedure.

The Success Rate of Root Canal Procedures


Root canals have become among the most common dental surgeries. Over the years, dentists have perfected their practice. Today, root canals are done in two sessions of two hours each. The success rate for the procedure is 95%, which means that most people will go through the procedure without issues. However, in some situations, your doctor may recommend that you have the procedure redone due to failures. Among the failures that may occur include tooth fracture, excessive bleeding, and pain after the procedure.

How Long Does Root Canal Last


The root canal procedure can last a lifetime with proper care. However, since most people do not take the necessary care of their teeth, the procedure has to be done regularly in most people. Over 86% of root canals last more than ten years. This is a long enough time for those who have undergone the procedure. However, there are those that may not last such a long time. Statistically, 98% of root canals last well over a year while 92% last over two years.

Is Root Canal Value for Money


Considering the durability of root canals, we can conclusively say that the procedure offers value for money for those who use it. When you undergo the procedure, you can be sure that you won't have to redo it in at least one year. In most people, it lasts ten years and more.
