Will I need to return to your office for follow-ups after the procedure is finished?
Yes, for most root canal treatments, we recommend that patients return to the office 1 year after the procedure was finished. Our office will send a reminder notice to you when you are due for a recall appointment.
What should I do before my appointment?
Please take your regular medication as prescribed by your doctor including antibiotics, but do not take any pain relievers six hours prior to your appointment (this may interfere with our diagnostic tests). Do not smoke or drink alcoholic beverages from 12 hours before your procedure to 72 hours after treatment. Avoid chewy, hard or sticky foods immediately before and for a few days after your procedure.
Are you currently accepting new patients?
Yes, we are accepting new patients with a referral form from your general dentist. Please contact our office for an appointment.
Can I pre-register online?
Yes, it is recomended to pre-register online in order to help you save time at the office. Please call our office so we can create your personal username and password.
When can I start chewing with my treated tooth?
We recommend you start chewing on your treated tooth only when you’ve had the crown properly repaired by your dentist. Please make an appointment to have this done soon after your root canal treatment.
Waiting too long to have crown repair may result in contamination of the tooth, resulting in the need for another root canal. In severe cases, the tooth may fracture or become so infected that it may require an extraction.
Do you treat children?
Yes. Many of the children we see have had traumatic injuries from a fall or sport injury. There are specific protocols that must be followed to get good treatment results with traumatized teeth, and endodontists have special training in these protocols.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most of PPO insurance plans. Please do not hesitate to call our office if you have any questions.
What forms of payments do you accept?
We accept American Express, Discover, cash, check, visa, and mastercard.
Do you have any type of financing available?
Our office accepts Care Credit. You can learn more about Care Credit at www.carecredit.com or by calling them toll free at (800) 365.8295. We accept Care Credit's 6 months at zero interest plan. We do not offer any in-office financing or payment plans.
