Preparing for Your Appointment

When You Visit Us
Your Initial Consultation Expect a thorough oral health examination on your first visit, including a review of your dental and medical history and any necessary X-rays. We might take additional images to fully assess your needs.
Understanding Your Treatment Options We'll clearly explain your examination results and discuss your treatment options, which could range from root canal treatment to other endodontic procedures. Our goal is to make sure you're well-informed and comfortable with the proposed treatment plan.
After Your Procedure If your visit includes a procedure, we'll give you detailed care instructions afterward. For example, after a root canal, it's best to wait until the numbness subsides before eating to avoid biting your cheek, lips, or tongue. We'll also advise on how to care for your treated tooth until it fully recovers.
Managing Discomfort Dental treatments can be uncomfortable, so we'll guide you on managing pain.
Ongoing Dental Care Our commitment to your dental health doesn't end when you leave our office. We ensure your full recovery and ongoing oral health, coordinating with your general dentist for any further necessary treatments and keeping them updated on your care.
