Dr. Dejbod · Issaquah's root canal specialist
In pain right now?
We hold same-day emergency slots every business day for severe tooth pain, swelling, and dental trauma. Because we're in Issaquah, you can often go from phone call to numbing in under an hour.
The Basics
What a Root Canal Actually Is
The problem
Deep decay or a crack lets bacteria reach the living tissue inside your tooth. That tissue becomes inflamed or infected — and the pressure inside a space that can't expand is the pain you feel.
The treatment
Working under a microscope, Dr. Dejbod removes the infected tissue, cleans and disinfects the inside of the root, and seals the space so bacteria can't return.
The outcome
The infection is gone, the pain stops, and your natural tooth stays right where it belongs — ready for your general dentist to protect with a crown.
Specialist vs. Generalist
Why Issaquah Dentists Refer to an Endodontist
Your general dentist is excellent at fillings and crowns — and the best ones know when a tooth needs a specialist. The honest difference:
| Evergreen Endodontics | Typical General Office | |
|---|---|---|
| Training | 2–3 years of specialty residency beyond dental school, focused solely on saving teeth | General dentistry degree; root canals are one of dozens of procedures |
| Volume | 10,000+ root canals completed — several per day, every day | Typically a few root canals per month between other procedures |
| Magnification | Surgical microscope, up to 14x, on every case — finds calcified and hidden canals | Usually loupes or naked eye; fine canals can be missed |
| Sedation | Nitrous, oral, and IV sedation — three levels, matched to you | Varies widely; IV sedation is uncommon |
Your Visit
What Happens at Your Issaquah Appointment
Three steps, roughly an hour in the chair, and the pain stops here.
Examine & Image
A focused exam plus digital X-rays — and a 3D CBCT scan when the case calls for it. You see exactly what we see.
Explain & Approve
Every option and every cost, in plain language, before anything happens. No treatment begins without your approval.
Relieve & Restore
Profound numbing, microscope precision, sedation if you want it. Most patients leave in about an hour, pain-free.
Comfort Menu
Three Levels of Sedation
Dental anxiety is normal, and it should never stand between you and saving a tooth. Pick the comfort level that fits you:
| Option | How It Feels | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrous Oxide | A light, floaty calm — you stay fully awake and can drive yourself home | Mild anxiety, first-time patients |
| Oral Sedation | A prescription pill before your visit; deeply relaxed, little memory of the procedure | Moderate anxiety, longer appointments |
| IV Sedation | The deepest conscious sedation, adjusted moment-to-moment by Dr. Dejbod | Severe anxiety, complex or surgical cases |

Questions
Issaquah Root Canal FAQs
Direct answers, no sales pitch.
Is your office actually located in Issaquah?
Yes — unlike most dental websites that target Issaquah searches, our office is physically here at 600 NW Gilman Blvd Suite A, near Gilman Village just off I-90 exit 17. You can often be seen the same day you call.
How fast can I get an emergency appointment in Issaquah?
Because we are right here in the city, Issaquah patients frequently go from phone call to numbing in under an hour. Emergency slots are reserved every business day — call as early as you can.
Do you treat patients from Issaquah Highlands and Talus?
Daily. The Highlands and Talus are ten minutes down Highlands Drive to our Gilman Boulevard office — close enough that many patients schedule treatment between school drop-off and their first meeting.
What does a root canal cost with insurance in Issaquah?
In-network contracted rates run about $800 for a front tooth, $1,000 for a premolar, and $1,300 for a molar. With benefits remaining, most insured patients pay $160–$655 out of pocket. We verify your exact benefits before treatment and never bill anything you have not approved.
Do you work with Costco, Swedish, or Issaquah School District dental plans?
Yes — we are in-network with the major PPO plans carried by Costco headquarters, Swedish Issaquah, and school district employees, and we verify coverage before any work begins.
Will I need to come back for a second appointment?
Usually not. Most root canals are completed in a single 60-to-90-minute visit. Complex retreatments or heavily calcified canals occasionally need a second visit — and we tell you that before you commit.
