Services
Compassionate Care, Focused on Your Comfort
Whether you need an initial root canal, root canal retreatment, or additional support managing dental anxiety, understanding your options is an important first step. Our team is committed to providing clear explanations, personalized care, and treatment recommendations based on your individual needs.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save a natural tooth that has become infected or damaged on the inside. When bacteria reach the pulp, the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels, it can cause pain, sensitivity, swelling, or infection.
During treatment, the infected or damaged tissue is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to help prevent further infection. A filling or dental crown may be placed afterward to restore the tooth's strength and function.
The goal of root canal treatment is to relieve discomfort, eliminate infection, and preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
What is a root canal retreatment?
Root canal retreatment is a procedure performed when a tooth that has previously undergone root canal treatment has not healed as expected or develops a new infection.
Over time, bacteria may reenter the tooth due to new decay, a damaged restoration, a crack, or an untreated canal. During retreatment, the previous root canal filling material is removed, the canals are carefully examined and cleaned again, and the tooth is refilled and sealed.
Although retreatment can be more complex than an initial root canal, it may provide another opportunity to save your natural tooth and avoid extraction.
Our goal is to address the underlying problem, promote healing, and help preserve your natural smile.
What is IV sedation?
We understand that dental treatment can cause anxiety or apprehension for some patients. IV (intravenous) sedation is an option that uses medication delivered through a vein to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures.
Sedation medication is administered by a qualified provider, and the patient's vital signs are monitored throughout treatment. Depending on the level of sedation, patients may feel drowsy, have limited awareness of the procedure, or remember very little afterward.
IV sedation does not necessarily mean you will be fully asleep, and local anesthesia is generally still used to numb the treatment area and control pain.
Before treatment, our team reviews your medical history, medications, and individual needs to determine whether IV sedation is appropriate. Patients must follow all pre- and post-procedure instructions, including arranging for a responsible adult to drive them home.
Our priority is to support your comfort and safety while helping you receive the dental care you need with greater peace of mind.
Patient Registration
In order to cut down on time during your first visit, we recommend that new patients fill out the following documents and bring them to their scheduled appointment.
Insurance and Financial Policies
Our office will verify your dental insurance and provide an estimate of coverage. Dental insurance typically covers 50%–80% of endodontic treatment; however, coverage varies by plan, and verification does not guarantee payment. Patients are responsible for understanding their plan’s deductibles and annual maximums, as well as any remaining balance not paid by insurance. The estimated patient portion is due in full upon completion of treatment. Insurance assignments do not relieve patients of financial responsibility, and accounts will be reconciled once insurance payments are received.
We accept CareCredit as a financing option. We do not offer in-office financing. Accounts referred to a collection agency may incur additional fees.
Root Canal Treatment Fees
Root canal fees vary depending on the tooth’s location, anatomy, and treatment complexity. Retreatment, if necessary, incurs an additional fee. Our fees do not include the permanent filling or crown provided by your general dentist. We recommend seeing your dentist within four weeks of completing treatment to restore and protect the tooth.

"I have had a few other root canals and the treatment I received from Dr. Nazeri was by far the best. The staff was friendly, environment soothing and most importantly the root canal treatment was excellent!!"
-Dan
"Dr. Nazeri and staff,
I have had two root canals over the last six months. I have an anxiety disorder and a fear of needles. Dr. Nazeri was very patient with me and supportive of my special needs. He had an excellent chairside manner. His new dental assistant gave me a mini shoulder massage during the injections. Both of them worked well together given she has only been a recent addition to the team. Wes and the other team member(s) at the front desk, were informative regarding my insurance, were well organized, and pleasant. After my root canal Dr. Nazeri reviewed the post treatment instructions with me and gave me his personal cell phone number in case I needed to talk to him. Wes called me the day after my root canal to see if I had any discomfort or needed anything from them.
An extremely grateful patient."

" I've been meaning to write a testimonial for quite some time, but
today's the first time I've remembered to do it!
When I arrived at Micro Endodontics I recieved a warm greeting from the
receptionist who promptly had me fill out
paperwork. Once completed, I had a short wait and then was introduced
to Dr. Nazeri, who escorted me into his
room to take a look at my tooth. The nerve had closed in the root and I
was facing a root canal that could easily be
botched by someone who didn't have the tools or the experience with
complex dentistry.
Dr. Nazeri took a look and assured me that he could do the job, then got
busy giving me a big dose of novocaine so
I didn't feel any discomfort. He hooked up his high powered microscope
and went to work. Within the hour he had
completed the root canal and I did not feel a thing during the entire
procedure. He showed me the x ray after he had
competed the job and it looked perfect! The next day he phoned to make
sure I was doing well, and made sure
to suggest that my regular dentist use a rubber dam to complete the
final filling.
Having worked for a dentist many years ago, I am a discriminating
patient and I was VERY impressed with Dr. Nazeri's professionalism and his technique. I would highly recommend Dr. Nazeri and the staff at
Advanced Micro for any
endodontic need."
Thanks for saving my tooth, Dr. Nazeri!

"Hello,
I wanted to provide a testimonial so that it may hopefully be added to Dr. Nazeri's site since I had such a positive experience and greatly appreciate his services. "Dr. Nazeri and his staff were an absolute joy in what felt like a dismal situation. The office manager called me during a holiday weekend after I left a message regarding a painful tooth. She immediately recognized my needs and was compassionate on top of being helpful. The establishment felt calm, inviting and warm. I appreciated the upfront, direct communication of insurance matters, Victoria made everything so simple and easy; I felt "taken care of." The attention and care was not only refreshing but in turn, a pleasant surprise considering the traumatizing experience recently suffered from a horrible dentist. Thankfully Dr. Nazeri was able to correct the damage done to my tooth while restoring my faith in dentistry. He provided helpful advice that left me with a lasting impression because he genuinely cares for his patients well being. His professionalism, sensitivity and expertise reminded me that people like him are not only provide a great service, they are such humble heros. Thank you for saving my tooth, relieving me of the agonizing months of pain and having such a great sense of urgency. "
