Root Canal Specialists · Enumclaw, WA
The Enumclaw plateau has farms, mountain views, and the gateway to Crystal — but no endodontist. When a tooth needs a specialist, SR-410 west to SR-169 north gets you to Dr. Nima Dejbod in 40–45 minutes, and most cases are handled in a single round trip.
Dr. Dejbod · 40–45 minutes from Enumclaw via SR-410 W & SR-169 N
We hold same-day emergency slots every business day for severe pain, swelling, and dental trauma. Enumclaw patients who call early are usually seen the same afternoon — one round trip, problem solved.
The Basics
A tooth is alive at its core, and when bacteria breach that core through a crack or deep cavity, infection sets in. The pain is pressure with nowhere to escape.
Dr. Dejbod removes the infected tissue under a surgical microscope, disinfects every canal to its tip, and seals the space so it can't be reinfected.
You keep your own tooth, the pain is gone, and your Enumclaw dentist puts a crown on it. Back to work, back to life.
Specialist vs. Generalist
Enumclaw and Buckley have good general dentists — what the plateau doesn't have is a specialty endodontic office. What the referral adds:
| Evergreen Endodontics | Typical General Office | |
|---|---|---|
| Training | Two to three years of endodontic specialty residency on top of dental school | A general degree where root canals share time with everything else |
| Volume | 10,000+ root canals — several a day, every day of the week | An occasional root canal between cleanings and crowns |
| Magnification | A surgical microscope at up to 14x on every tooth we treat | Loupes or unaided vision; fine canals can be missed |
| Sedation | Nitrous, oral, and IV sedation — three levels, your pick | Limited; IV sedation is seldom offered |
Your Visit
Most Enumclaw patients handle everything in a single visit — here's how it goes.
Digital X-rays, a targeted exam, and a 3D CBCT scan when the tooth's history is complicated. You watch the findings on screen.
Diagnosis, options, and the exact cost, all settled before treatment begins. Nothing is done without your approval.
Deep numbing, microscope-guided work, sedation if you chose it. About 60 to 90 minutes later, you're headed back down SR-169.
Comfort Menu
A long drive plus dental fear keeps too many plateau residents suffering for months. Fix both problems at once:
| Option | How It Feels | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrous Oxide | A mild, floating ease that evaporates before you leave the lot | Mild nerves, routine cases |
| Oral Sedation | A pill beforehand makes the visit pass in relaxed, half-remembered comfort | Moderate anxiety, longer work |
| IV Sedation | Deep conscious sedation, managed moment-to-moment by Dr. Dejbod | Severe fear, surgical cases |
The Instrument Room
Endodontics is a game of millimeters, and the equipment decides who wins:
Up to 14x magnification exposes the canals that decide a tooth's fate.
Three-dimensional views of roots, bone, and hidden fractures.
Instant images at a fraction of old-school radiation.
Electronic measurement so cleaning reaches the end of every canal.
Patient Voices
Three selections from 400+ five-star reviews.
NO pain or discomfort during or after the procedure.
— David W., IssaquahThe cost was exactly what they quoted before starting. No surprises, no pressure — just relief.
— Tom H., IssaquahI 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.

A quick look at the practice worth the round trip.
Worth the round trip from the plateau
“Enumclaw folks are practical — they don't make a 45-minute drive for nothing. So I make the trip count: we diagnose it, we fix it, and in most cases one round trip is all it takes.”

| Front tooth (anterior) | ~$800 in-network contracted rate | from ~$1,300 without insurance |

Getting Here
From the plateau, take SR-410 west to SR-169 north through Black Diamond, then continue toward Issaquah on Issaquah-Hobart Road. It's a foothills drive the whole way — pasture, evergreens, and mountain air instead of freeway concrete. Because most cases finish in one visit, the round trip is usually the only one you'll make. Free parking is steps from our door at 600 NW Gilman Blvd.

Questions
Straightforward answers for a straightforward town.
No — the plateau currently has no specialty endodontic office, which is why Enumclaw and Buckley dentists refer their root canal cases to us. We're 40–45 minutes away at 600 NW Gilman Blvd Suite A in Issaquah.
Take SR-410 west to SR-169 north through Black Diamond, then Issaquah-Hobart Road into Issaquah — about 40–45 minutes of foothills scenery, not freeway congestion. Parking at our building is free.
Usually not. The majority of cases are completed in a single 60-to-90-minute visit, so one round trip typically handles everything. If your case is the rare one needing a follow-up, we tell you before you commit.
Contracted in-network rates are about $800 for an anterior tooth, $1,000 for a premolar, and $1,300 for a molar. With benefits remaining, most insured patients pay $160–$655 out of pocket — verified before you ever get in the car.
Yes — the whole plateau feeds the same SR-410 to SR-169 route, so the drive is essentially identical. We see plateau patients weekly, and we confirm benefits before you schedule.
We hold same-day emergency slots every business day. Call as early as possible — Enumclaw patients who call in the morning can often be seen the same afternoon.
For Referring Dentists
The plateau has no endodontist — Enumclaw referrals are handled in mostly one visit, with a full report back to you that day.
