If the tooth requires extraction, it can be done in a single appointment. But if RCT or post & core has to be done, it will take more time. (I would say around 2 weeks). Without clinically examining the tooth, we can't say which will be the best treatment modality.

The tooth needs to be treated with a root canal and post n core to save the tooth
But if the tooth is fractured beyond repair then might need extraction
The whole process can take a week's time. And a cap also will be needed on the tooth

That actually depends whether the tooth needs to be extracted or not until we see it clinically.. meanwhile you take course of antibiotics and painkiller and avoid eating from that side
