Bothell's Root Canal Specialist, One Straight Shot Down I-405
From Canyon Park to North Creek, Bothell has biotech labs, a university, and plenty of good general dentists — but no endodontist. Dr. Nima Dejbod's practice sits 25–30 minutes down I-405, where microscope precision and same-day emergency slots make the drive an easy trade.
Dr. Dejbod · 25 minutes straight down I-405 from Bothell
In pain right now?
A tooth that starts throbbing during a Canyon Park lab shift can't wait a week for a referral. Same-day emergency slots are reserved every business day — one straight run down I-405 and you're numb.
The Basics
The Science of Saving Your Tooth
The problem
Bacteria that reach a tooth's inner pulp — through decay, a crack, or trauma — trigger an infection under pressure. Since the tooth can't swell, the nerves bear the full force, and you feel every bit of it.
The treatment
Guided by a surgical microscope, Dr. Dejbod removes the infected pulp, disinfects the canal system to its full length, and seals it so reinfection can't take hold.
The outcome
The tooth stays, the pain goes, and your Bothell dentist crowns the result. No implant surgery, no gap — your own anatomy, preserved.
Specialist vs. Generalist
The Case for Seeing a Specialist
General dentists around Bothell and North Creek handle everyday dentistry well. When a tooth's nerve is involved, here's what a dedicated endodontic practice adds:
| Evergreen Endodontics | Typical General Office | |
|---|---|---|
| Training | Two to three years of specialty residency after dental school, focused solely on endodontic care | A general degree where root canals are one small part of the curriculum |
| Volume | 10,000+ root canals completed — it is all we do, all day | A handful each month, mixed in with everything else |
| Magnification | Every case performed under a surgical microscope at up to 14x power | Mostly loupes; calcified or extra canals are easy to miss |
| Sedation | Nitrous, oral, and IV sedation on the menu for every patient | Limited selection; IV sedation is rarely offered |
Your Visit
Your Visit in Three Steps
About an hour of chair time — and the drive back up I-405 feels a whole lot better than the drive down.
Examine & Image
We start with a focused exam and digital X-rays — plus a 3D CBCT scan for complicated roots. You see everything we see.
Explain & Approve
Diagnosis, options, and exact pricing, explained plainly. Treatment happens only after your explicit approval.
Relieve & Restore
Deep numbing first, then microscope-precise treatment with sedation if you want it. Most Bothell patients leave pain-free in about an hour.
Comfort Menu
A Comfort Menu, Not an Endurance Test
Nobody should have to tough out dental treatment. Match your sedation to your anxiety:
| Option | How It Feels | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrous Oxide | Light, controllable calm that wears off in minutes — you can drive yourself home to Bothell | Mild nerves, routine cases |
| Oral Sedation | One tablet before your visit; drowsy, relaxed, and light on memories afterward | Moderate anxiety, molar work |
| IV Sedation | Deep, precisely managed conscious sedation — the appointment feels like minutes | Severe anxiety, surgical cases |

— Sarah T., RedmondI was terrified of getting a root canal, but Dr. Nima and his team made me feel so comfortable. The sedation helped me relax completely, and I barely felt anything. I can't believe how easy it was.

The Specialist Behind the Microscope
“Bothell patients often tell me they sat on the referral for weeks because they dreaded it. My answer is always the same: give me one hour, and I'll give you back a tooth that doesn't hurt.”

Questions
Bothell Root Canal Questions
No jargon, no runaround.
Is there an endodontist in Bothell?
Bothell and the North Creek area have good general dentists but no dedicated endodontic specialty practice — so local dentists refer root canal cases to Dr. Dejbod, 25 to 30 minutes south at 600 NW Gilman Blvd Suite A in Issaquah.
How bad is the I-405 drive, honestly?
Better than its reputation, because you travel against the heaviest flow. From Canyon Park, North Creek, or downtown Bothell, plan on 25 to 30 minutes to I-90 exit 17. Morning appointments pair especially well with the reverse commute.
Do you work with UW Bothell or Canyon Park employer plans?
Yes — we are in-network with the major PPO plans carried by UW Bothell staff, Canyon Park biotech companies, and North Creek employers, and we verify your benefits before treatment so cost is settled up front.
Can I get an emergency appointment the same day?
Yes — every business day includes reserved emergency slots for severe pain, swelling, and cracked or knocked teeth. Call as early as possible; Bothell patients who phone at 7:30 AM are often treated the same morning.
What does a root canal cost out of pocket?
At in-network contracted rates, a front tooth runs about $800, a premolar about $1,000, and a molar about $1,300. With benefits remaining, most insured patients pay $160–$655 — verified in advance and approved by you before anything begins.
Will the root canal itself hurt?
It should not. Profound local anesthesia comes first, and nitrous, oral, or IV sedation is available if you are anxious. Most patients describe the appointment as uneventful — the dramatic part is how quickly the original pain disappears.
