Patient information

What to expect on your first visit

We will review your medical and dental history and will perform a clinical and radiographic examination to achieve a diagnosis and will discuss treatment options
If a root canal therapy is indicated we will discuss in detail the entire procedure.
Most of the time root canal therapy can be completed in one visit. However, some treatment may require a second visit. The second visit to finish is at no charge
All treatment is performed using local anesthesia. The entire procedure should be very comfortable, that is our priority.
