Common questions.
Do I need a referral to see an endodontist?
No, a referral is not required. While many patients are referred by their general dentist, you are welcome to schedule an appointment directly by calling our office at (310) 378-8342 or booking online.
How long does a root canal take?
Most root canal treatments at our practice are completed in a single visit lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Complex cases involving multiple canals or retreatment may require a longer appointment or a second visit.
Is root canal treatment covered by dental insurance?
Yes, most dental insurance plans cover endodontic treatment. We accept PPO insurance plans, verify benefits before your appointment, and offer flexible payment options for any out-of-pocket costs.
Does a root canal hurt?
Modern root canal treatment is virtually painless. Dr. Phan uses advanced anesthesia techniques to ensure complete comfort, and sedation options are available for anxious patients.
