Who is an Endodontist?

An Endodontist is a dental specialist who has completed additional postgraduate training after dental school to prepare him or her in treating complicated endodontic cases. Dr. Nima Dejbod has limited his practice to root canal treatment and related procedures. By referring you to an endodontic specialist, your family dentist demonstrates a personal concern for the quality of your dental care.

What about infection control?

We are very proud of our sterilization and infection control. Every item used is completely disposed of or heat sterilized after each use. All surfaces of the dental treatment rooms are disinfected with chemicals that kill bacteria and viruses. We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest standards of office cleanliness and sterility.

What is endodontic treatment?

Root canal or endodontic treatment is performed when the soft inner tissue of the tooth (the pulp) has been damaged, usually through decay or physical trauma. Treatment consists of removing the pulp and then cleaning, sterilizing, filling, and sealing the root canals. The tooth remains alive, nourished by adjacent tissues of the gums and jaw. Over 90 percent of cases are successful, while a few may require additional treatment. After root canal treatment is completed, it is very important to return to your family dentist so that a permanent restoration can be placed. Usually, a crown is needed to protect the tooth from fracture.

Toothache is defined as pain coming from one tooth or multiple teeth and gums. Some toothaches can be just a mild twinge or severe such as constant and throbbing pain.

What causes a toothache?

Toothaches can be caused by cavities, cracks on the tooth, loose filling material on the tooth, and gum recession. Trauma from heavy biting, accidents, sports, etc., can also cause toothaches.

What are symptoms of a toothache?

When a toothache is mild, symptoms include a twinge sensation from cold, hot, or sweet. Severe toothaches lead to difficulties in biting, eating, or drinking cold or hot foods, lying down, flying on an airplane, or diving. One may also experience earaches or headaches.

How do you treat a toothache?

If the toothache is mild, you can try using desensitizing toothpaste such as Sensodyne and avoid cold, hot, or sweet foods. To relieve the pain, you can take 1 to 2 tablets of over-the-counter pain killers. Then visit the dentist for treatment. If the toothache is severe, swelling on the face or gum can occur as well as a fever. With these symptoms, see your dentist immediately. Root canal therapy or other therapy may be needed.

What is latex-free endodontics?

If you are allergic to latex, we have a latex-free treatment for root canal therapy. We have non-latex gloves and latex-free rubber dams. We use biocompatible root canal filling materials.

What are the alternatives to treatment?

Once the dental pulp is diseased, the only alternative to root canal treatment is extraction. After an extraction, replacing the tooth with a bridge, implant, or partial denture is generally more costly than the root canal treatment and the crown. More importantly, you lose your natural tooth.

Is root canal treatment painful?

Root canal treatment usually involves no more discomfort than a routine filling appointment. In fact, most endodontic treatment relieves pain. Most stories of painful root canals are holdovers from the days before modern techniques and effective anesthetics were available.

Can all teeth be treated?

Some teeth cannot be treated successfully. We will explain potential complications before treatment. A few cases will require additional treatment if the tissues do not heal normally after the root canal treatment has been completed.

Why Choose Our Endodontic Practice: See How We Stand Out

In this video, Dr. Nima Dejbod explains why our practice stands out and why you should choose us for your endodontic care for your patients. Discover how our personalized approach, state-of-the-art technology, and commitment to patient education and comfort make us the preferred choice for both patients and referring dentists.

Highlights:

⭐ Prompt Appointments: We strive to see patients the same day or within 24 hours, ensuring timely and efficient care. Many other practices have longer waiting periods.
⭐ Patient Education: We offer detailed explanations and educational materials to help you make informed decisions about your treatment, unlike some practices that may not spend as much time discussing options, risks, and benefits.
⭐ Continuity of Care: We provide same-day case reports to your dentist, ensuring seamless communication and coordination. This timely reporting is not always the norm in other practices.
⭐ Advanced Technology: Our 3D CBCT imaging offers precise diagnostics. Unlike many larger and corporate practices that take the scan before the doctor sees you, we first meet with you to discuss the necessity of 3D imaging. Then, we go over the results together, side by side. This approach ensures a more transparent, interactive, and engaging experience.
⭐ Personalized Attention: Unlike larger practices where doctors often hop between multiple patients, at our practice, we don’t hop between rooms and only see one patient at a time. Each patient gets at least 30 minutes of dedicated attention, which is hard to find at corporate offices.
⭐ Not Corporate Owned: As a privately owned, solo practice, we prioritize your needs without the constraints often found in corporate-owned practices that are more focused on financial metrics.
⭐ Emergency and After-Hours Care: We offer emergency appointments and after-hours care for urgent dental issues, providing you with peace of mind when you need it most.
⭐ In-Office Sedation: We provide various sedation options (oral sedation, laughing gas, or IV Sedation) to help you feel comfortable and relaxed during procedures, catering to those who experience dental anxiety.
⭐ We Speak Different Languages: At our dental office, we can understand and speak English, Spanish, Farsi, Russian and Ukranian languages to better serve our diverse community and ensure clear communication. No translators needed.
⭐ High Success Rates: Our high success rates and positive patient testimonials reflect our commitment to excellence. We prioritize your health and satisfaction over financial metrics.
