Dr. Dejbod · just over Cougar Mountain from Newcastle
In pain right now?
When a tooth flares up, Newcastle residents hold a real advantage: we're practically neighbors. Same-day emergency slots are held every business day, and the drive over Cougar Mountain takes most patients under fifteen minutes.
The Basics
A Plain-English Look at Root Canal Treatment
The problem
Every tooth contains a narrow channel of nerves and blood vessels. Deep decay or a crack lets bacteria in, infection builds, and the pressure inside that closed channel becomes impossible to ignore.
The treatment
Dr. Dejbod removes the infected tissue under a surgical microscope, disinfects each canal along its full length, and seals the space so the problem can't return.
The outcome
The tooth you grew up with stays in service. Pain resolves, function returns, and your general dentist places a crown to protect the work long-term.
Specialist vs. Generalist
Why Newcastle Dentists Point Patients Over the Hill
When a Newcastle or Cougar Mountain dentist sees a tooth that needs specialty care, this is the short trip they recommend. The difference, plainly:
| Evergreen Endodontics | Typical General Office | |
|---|---|---|
| Training | Two to three years of specialty residency beyond dental school, dedicated entirely to endodontics | A general practice education covering root canals among scores of other procedures |
| Volume | 10,000+ completed root canals — several daily, every working day | A small number per month, wedged between general appointments |
| Magnification | A surgical operating microscope at up to 14x is standard on every case we treat | Loupes at best in most offices; subtle canal anatomy stays hidden |
| Sedation | Three sedation levels — nitrous, oral, and IV — matched to each patient | Limited options; IV sedation rarely available in general settings |
Your Visit
Three Steps, One Hour, No More Pain
That's the whole shape of the visit — most Newcastle patients are home again before the kettle boils.
Examine & Image
A careful exam plus digital X-rays — and a 3D CBCT scan if your tooth's roots need a closer look. You see the images as we do.
Explain & Approve
We walk you through the diagnosis and the full cost before anything begins. You approve the plan; then we execute it.
Relieve & Restore
Thorough numbing, microscope-guided treatment, sedation if you want it. Relief is usually immediate — most patients leave within the hour.
Comfort Menu
Three Ways to Relax Through It
Dental fear is common and nothing to be embarrassed about. Choose how aware you want to be:
| Option | How It Feels | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrous Oxide | Light, pleasant relaxation that clears before you drive back over the hill | Mild nerves, shorter treatments |
| Oral Sedation | A prescribed sedative before your visit — deeply calm, hazy memories afterward | Moderate anxiety, molar treatments |
| IV Sedation | Deep conscious sedation, titrated moment to moment by Dr. Dejbod | Severe anxiety, complex or surgical cases |
The Instrument Room
Why the Microscope Matters
Success in endodontics comes down to finding and cleaning every canal — and that takes instruments most offices don't have:
Surgical Microscope
Up to 14x magnification exposes hidden canals and micro-fractures that loupes simply can't resolve.
3D CBCT Imaging
A three-dimensional map of roots, nerves, and bone — captured before treatment, not discovered during it.
Digital X-Rays
Low-dose images that appear instantly and get explained to you on the spot.
Apex Locator
Electronic confirmation that each canal has been cleaned to its full anatomical length.

The Reviews Wall
Three of 400+ five-star reviews, verbatim.
Seen the same day for a cracked tooth. I walked in barely able to think straight from the pain and left wondering why I waited so long.

Meet Dr. Nima Dejbod
“Newcastle patients sometimes apologize for not seeing a specialist sooner. There's nothing to apologize for — you were ten minutes away the whole time, and now the tooth gets to stay.”

Cost & Insurance
Clear Prices, No Surprises
In-network fees are set by insurance carriers, not by offices — so a specialist visit costs what a generalist visit costs. What you're really choosing is expertise. If you have benefits remaining, expect $160–$655 out of pocket as an insured patient.
| Root Canal | Typical In-Network Rate | Without Insurance |
|---|---|---|
| Front tooth (anterior) | ~$800 in-network contracted rate | from ~$1,300 without insurance |
| Premolar (bicuspid) | ~$1,000 in-network contracted rate | from ~$1,500 without insurance |
| Molar | ~$1,300 in-network contracted rate | from ~$1,900 without insurance |

Questions
Newcastle Root Canal Questions
Answered the way we'd answer a neighbor.
How close are you to Newcastle, really?
Ten to fifteen minutes for most residents. Coal Creek Parkway or Newcastle Golf Club Road takes you over Cougar Mountain directly to our office at 600 NW Gilman Blvd Suite A in Issaquah — no freeway needed, and parking is free at the door.
Can I get in the same day if I'm in severe pain?
Yes — emergency slots are reserved every business day for severe pain, swelling, and cracked or broken teeth. Newcastle patients who call early can often be numb within the hour, since the drive over the hill is so short.
Do you see patients from the Golf Club and China Creek areas?
Regularly. The Golf Club at Newcastle, China Creek, Coal Creek, and the Cougar Mountain neighborhoods are some of our closest communities — most patients from those areas arrive in under fifteen minutes.
What will a root canal cost with my PPO plan?
In-network PPO rates work out to 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 and approved before treatment starts.
Is a root canal going to hurt?
The procedure itself shouldn't — profound local anesthesia comes first, and nitrous, oral, or IV sedation is available if you're anxious. What patients usually report afterward is relief: the infection pain that brought them in is gone.
