TREATMENT INFO | Consultation


Your initial appointment will consist of an examination and consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Depending on the recommeded course of treatment and the condition of your tooth, we will most likely start and complete your treatment in the same day. Some endodontic procedures, such as surgery or complicated retreatments may require additional time and will need to be scheduled for a different day.

  • If you are currently on any medication

  • If you have had previous root canal treatment or if root canal treatment has been attempted on the tooth in question
