Do you offer sedation?
Yes! We know that some patients are more comfortable than others when it comes to getting dental treatment, so we offer several levels of sedation, from numbing injections to oral conscious sedation. We will discuss what level is best for your during your first visit.
Will the treatment be painful?
We will take every measure to ensure that your procedure is in no way uncomfortable or painful. If treatment is needed, we will inject a small amount of anesthesia to gently numb a concentrated area of your mouth. For most patients, the feeling of numbness usually subsides after 2-3 hours.
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.
Why should I see an Endodontist instead of a general dentist?
An endodontist can go beyond the capabilities of a general dentist to provide specialized treatment to save your teeth and preserve your smile. From bone grafts to dental implants, we can provide treatment that may include oral surgery.
Do I need a referral to see an Endodontist?
Most likely, you will have a dental referral to come see us. However, you don't have to have a referral! We happily accept walk-in patients.
How many visits will it be with Evolve Endodontics?
Your number of visits will depend on your treatment type and the extent of that treatment. Some services may require only one visit. Others may require one or more follow-up visits to complete the treatment. We will let you know on your first visit what you can expect.
