What Is Root Canal Therapy?
A root canal is a standard dental treatment that removes infected or damaged tooth pulp. At Prime Endodontics, these procedures are typically recommended when a tooth is cracked or has suffered severe decay. If bacteria extend to the inner soft tissue of the tooth (called the pulp), a root canal is likely needed to return dental function and prevent extraction. A root canal is a common therapy offered at Prime Endodontics to eradicate infected and inflamed tissues and to enhance oral wellness. In some cases, we may employ the GentleWave® procedure, an advanced technique that cleans the most intricate areas of the root canal system
Patients can rest assured that the process is completely painless and is similar to a standard filling. At Prime Endodontics, our team offers sedation options to further boost patient relaxation. If you suffer from a severely painful or abscessed tooth, call our Kirkland, WA practice soon to discover the health perks of specialized root canal treatment.
How Does Root Canal Therapy Work?
Modern solutions are utilized to help increase an individual's relaxation throughout a root canal. At our Kirkland, WA facility, root canals are carried out under local anesthesia and can be offered jointly with sedation techniques to produce additional relaxation. When the tooth is numbed, a covering will be set to protect the patient's teeth and gums. The affected region will then be accessed via a tiny opening made in the upper part of the tooth. The pulp, which comprises the nervous tissues and blood supply inside of the tooth, is then removed, and the inner root canal will be reshaped utilizing special endodontic instruments before being thoroughly disinfected. Root canals are then sealed and the tooth is restored to provide full and normal function.
Our team might utilize different contemporary disinfection technologies, including the GentleWave system, a modern alternative to conventional root canal therapy. Current techniques combine fluid dynamics and a broad spectrum of sound waves to predictably eliminate bacteria, debris, and tissue, significantly decreasing the risk of future complications.

Root Canal Therapy Reviews
This is the only place to go if you need to get a root canal, it took less than an hour and he did an outstanding job. The staff there is spot on and they know what they’re doing. Highly recommend this place.
Had great experience and root canal for my two teeth at one time. It has knowledgeable, caring and friendly staffs, assistants and doctors.
I cannot recommend Prime Endodontics enough! From start to finish, everything about my experience was absolutely top notch. The staff was incredibly professional, and Julia personally called to check on me after my procedure—something she didn’t have to do, but it truly showed their dedication to patient care.Prime Endodontics delivers the VIP, boutique-level experience you’d expect in major cities like NYC. Dr. Nestor Cohenca was thorough, patient, and answered every question carefully, putting me completely at ease. His dental assistant Sarah was empathetic and calming from the moment I walked in.After a botched root canal barely six years old from a previous dental practice, I was told extraction might be necessary. Thankfully, Prime Endodontics saved my tooth. Their expertise and care have set a new standard for me, and I’m seriously considering switching my general dental care to match their quality.I also learned the importance of having insurance that lets you choose from a broad network of specialists—even if they aren’t local. Prime Endodontics proves that quality care is worth seeking out.If you value real quality and attention to detail, this is the place to go.
Admittedly, root canal is unpleasant yet necessary! If you have to have one, Dr. Cohenca is the most assured and gentle professional you want to work with!The most valued part of this overall “needing root canal NOW” experience was the entire team’s empathy and responsiveness! To open later on a Friday afternoon just so that they can see me before the weekend was most appreciated! The ease of working with Julie checking in and the decisiveness and skilled professionalism of Dr. Cohenca and his assistants Beth and Tracy were assuring! I don’t wish anyone needing root canal procedure, but IF you do, I’d highly recommend this 5 star treatment and solution! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Went in for emergency root canal. Had the best experience right from the front desk to the surgery. They had advanced equipment required for all the scans and the overall procedure was painless.
