Root Canal Specialists · Kent, WA
The valley floor has distribution hubs, manufacturers, and every big-box store imaginable — but no endodontist. Dr. Nima Dejbod's Issaquah office is 25–30 minutes away, and our 7:30 AM appointments let you beat the Kent commute entirely.
Dr. Dejbod · 25–30 minutes from Kent, two route options
Same-day emergency slots are reserved every business day for severe pain, swelling, and broken teeth. Kent patients who book our 7:30 AM openings skip the SR-167 and I-405 traffic entirely — numb before the backup even forms.
The Basics
Bacteria reach the tooth's nerve center through deep decay, a crack, or an aging filling. Infected tissue swells inside rigid walls, and that trapped pressure is the pain radiating up your jaw.
Working through the microscope, Dr. Dejbod removes the infection, disinfects each canal completely, and seals the system so bacteria stay out.
Pain ends, the tooth stays yours, and your Kent dentist finishes with a crown. Done in about an hour, in most cases.
Specialist vs. Generalist
Kent's general dentists handle the full range of family dentistry — and they send the complex root canals our way. The concrete differences:
| Evergreen Endodontics | Typical General Office | |
|---|---|---|
| Training | Two to three years of residency beyond dental school, all endodontics | A general degree; endodontics is one competency among dozens |
| Volume | 10,000+ root canals completed — it's the only procedure we perform | A few per month in between other treatments |
| Magnification | Surgical microscopy at up to 14x on every case, every time | Loupes at most; tiny canal anatomy can go undetected |
| Sedation | Three in-house levels: nitrous, oral, and IV | Usually limited to nitrous, sometimes none |
Your Visit
An hour in the chair, and the drive home is the comfortable one.
Focused exam and digital X-rays, plus a 3D CBCT scan for complicated roots — all shared with you on the monitor.
Diagnosis, options, and the complete price in plain language. Your approval is the starting gun.
Profound numbing, microscope precision, sedation if you want it. Most visits run 60 to 90 minutes.
Comfort Menu
Dental anxiety thrives on the unknown. Three sedation levels give Kent patients full control over the experience:
| Option | How It Feels | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrous Oxide | A light, giggly relaxation that starts fast and clears before you drive home | A little nervous, routine care |
| Oral Sedation | One prescription pill and the appointment passes in calm, foggy comfort | Moderate anxiety, lengthier cases |
| IV Sedation | The deepest conscious sedation, adjusted continuously throughout your visit | Severe fear, surgical needs |
The Instrument Room
A root canal succeeds or fails on details measured in millimeters. Here's how we see them:
Up to 14x magnification reveals canals and cracks invisible to the naked eye.
Three-dimensional imaging shows exactly what we're working with before we start.
Instant, low-dose images explained chairside.
Electronic length control so no canal gets under-cleaned.

“Kent runs on early shifts and long days, so we open at 7:30 and we don't waste your time. You'll know your diagnosis, your cost, and your timeline before I pick up an instrument — then I fix the tooth and get you back to your life.”

Getting Here
From the valley floor, take SR-167 north to I-405 north to I-90 east. From East Hill, skip the valley entirely — SR-18 east to Issaquah-Hobart Road north is often faster. Either way you're 25–30 minutes out, and our 7:30 AM appointments let you complete the whole trip before the SR-167 commute even peaks. Free parking is right at the building.

Questions
The questions Kent patients actually ask us.
Depends where you start. From the valley floor, SR-167 north to I-405 north to I-90 east runs 25–30 minutes. From East Hill, SR-18 east to Issaquah-Hobart Road north often beats it. Either way, parking is free at our door.
The valley floor has just about everything else — distribution hubs, retailers, manufacturers — but no dedicated endodontic specialty office. That's why Kent dentists refer complex cases to us in Issaquah.
We open at 7:30 AM Monday through Friday, and those early slots exist exactly for Kent's early-shift workforce. Book the first appointment of the day and you miss the SR-167 commute in both directions.
Very likely. We verify the major PPO plans carried by Kent's distribution, manufacturing, and retail employers daily — Delta Dental, Premera, Regence, and others — and confirm your benefits before treatment.
Kent patients on PPO plans see insurer-contracted fees near $800 for a front tooth, $1,000 for a premolar, and $1,300 for a molar. With benefits remaining, most insured Kent patients pay $160–$655 out of pocket, confirmed in writing first.
The infection is what hurts; the treatment is how it stops. With modern numbing, most patients feel nothing during the procedure — and nitrous, oral, or IV sedation is available if anxiety is the issue.
