Most teeth will require 1-2 treatment appointments. Sometimes, depending on complexity, additional appointments may be necessary in order to achieve a quality result. A major determining factor of the time required to complete your treatment centers around the degree of inflammation and/or infection associated with your tooth. While many providers may elect to spend less time on a particular tooth, Dr. Richards prefers to take as many appointments as necessary to help ensure your condition will heal and minimize the probability of needing additional future, costly procedures.
