Root Canal Specialists · Redmond, WA
A throbbing tooth doesn't wait for your sprint to end. Evergreen Endodontics is 20–25 minutes from the Microsoft campus via Redmond-Fall City Road — with 7:30 AM appointments that finish before standup, and sedation options for anyone who'd rather doze through the whole thing.
Dr. Dejbod · 20 minutes from Microsoft campus
Cracked a molar at Marymoor? Abscess that woke you at 3 AM in Education Hill? Emergency slots are held every business day — call first thing and you can often be treated before your afternoon meetings.
Root Canal 101
Decay that tunnels past the enamel, or a crack from years of grinding, exposes the nerve tissue inside your tooth to bacteria. Infection follows — and the pressure it builds inside the tooth is pure pain.
Working through a surgical microscope, Dr. Dejbod removes the infected tissue completely, disinfects the entire canal system, and seals it against future invasion.
You keep the tooth. The pain ends. Your Redmond dentist protects the result with a crown, and the whole episode becomes a story you tell at lunch.
Specialist vs. Generalist
Redmond engineers like data. Here is what separates a specialty endodontic practice from a general office when your tooth is on the line:
| Evergreen Endodontics | Typical General Office | |
|---|---|---|
| Training | Two to three years of post-doctoral residency, 100% focused on the inside of teeth | Dental school plus continuing ed; endodontics is one slice of a very broad pie |
| Volume | 10,000+ root canals completed — this procedure, all day, every day | A few root canals monthly, scheduled around everything else a general office does |
| Magnification | Surgical microscope at up to 14x, standard on every case — hidden and calcified canals don't stay hidden | Loupes or the naked eye in most offices, which can miss fine anatomy |
| Sedation | Three tiers — nitrous, oral, IV — so anxious patients actually show up | Varies by office; IV sedation is unusual outside specialty practice |
The Appointment
Roughly an hour of chair time stands between you and a normal evening.
A focused exam, digital X-rays, and a 3D CBCT scan when the anatomy warrants one — all reviewed with you on the spot.
You hear the diagnosis, the alternatives, and the exact cost before committing to anything. Questions welcome; jargon banned.
Profound local anesthesia, microscope precision, sedation if you want it. Most Redmond patients are heading back toward Marymoor within the hour.
Comfort Menu
Whether you need a little edge taken off or you'd prefer to remember nothing, there's a setting for that:
| Option | How It Feels | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrous Oxide | Mild, controllable relaxation — clear-headed again within minutes of finishing | Light anxiety, quick appointments |
| Oral Sedation | A prescription pill beforehand; deeply calm, fuzzy on the details later | Moderate fear, molars and retreatments |
| IV Sedation | Continuous IV sedation monitored by Dr. Dejbod — most patients describe it as a short, dreamless nap | Severe anxiety, surgical cases, strong gag reflexes |
The Instrument Room
Root canals fail when anatomy gets missed. Our instrument suite exists so that nothing gets missed:
Up to 14x magnification turns a pinhole canal opening into a clearly visible target.
Reveals curved roots, extra canals, and hidden fractures that flat 2D X-rays compress away.
Instant, ultra-low-dose imaging — no film, no waiting, no squinting at lightboxes.
Confirms electronically that each canal has been cleaned to its exact endpoint.
Patient Voices
Three of 400+ five-star reviews.
They followed up with calls to make sure everything was going well. That kind of attention is rare.
— Sarah T., RedmondMy dentist thought the tooth might not be savable. Dr. Dejbod found the hidden canal under the microscope and saved it.
— Priya K., KirklandI 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.
— Sarah M., SammamishOne patient at a time, on purpose
“Redmond patients usually ask me one thing first: how long does this take? About an hour — and for most of it you'll be surprised by how uneventful it feels. The technology does the heavy lifting; my job is precision and keeping you comfortable.”

Cost & Insurance
Insurance carriers fix in-network fees, so every in-network office charges the same contracted rate. What actually varies is experience and equipment. Insured patients with remaining benefits typically owe $160–$655 out of pocket.
| 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
Straight answers, zero upsell.
About 20 to 25 minutes. Most campus patients take Redmond-Fall City Road south to I-90 west and use exit 17 — close enough that midday appointments are genuinely practical, and free parking means no downtown garage math.
Yes — we open at 7:30 AM Monday through Friday, and Redmond patients who take the first slot are usually treated and on their way before a 9 AM standup. Early callers also get first pick of same-day emergency openings.
Every week. Overlake, Education Hill, Marymoor, Union Hill, and Ames Lake all funnel to the same two routes — Redmond-Fall City Road or West Lake Sammamish Parkway — and land at our Gilman Boulevard office in under half an hour.
We are in-network with the major PPO plans offered by Redmond's big employers, including Delta Dental, Premera, Regence, Cigna, Aetna, and MetLife. Your benefits are verified before treatment, so cost is settled in advance.
About $800 for a front tooth, $1,000 for a premolar, and $1,300 for a molar at contracted PPO rates. With benefits remaining, most insured patients pay $160–$655 out of pocket — a written number you approve first.
Most patients manage the first day or two with over-the-counter pain relievers and are otherwise back to normal immediately. The pain that brought you in is gone; what remains is mild soreness where the tooth was worked on.
