Becoming a Patient
The experts at Care Endodontics work with your dentist to give you the best treatment available.
With a referral from your dentist, we can provide specialized endodontic care to treat deep-set decay, infections, damage to teeth, and more. Except in emergency situations, you will need a referral before making an appointment. In an emergency where an infection or injury is making it difficult to work, sleep, or do everyday activities, we can also provide direct emergency interventions.

Contact us to learn more about our full range of endodontic services, and to arrange an appointment for your patients. We’re happy to provide the highest level of treatment and care for all types of endodontic conditions.
Emergency Services
We offer emergency services without the need for a referral.
Most of our appointments require a referral from a local dentist, however, this is not always possible when an emergency arises. In some cases, an advanced tooth infection can cause intense pain, and make it difficult to take part in even the simplest activities; or, you may have experienced an injury that has heavily damaged a tooth or multiple teeth and is also causing intense pain. In these cases, we can offer emergency treatment without a referral.
Our emergency interventions include root canal treatments and antibiotics to treat advanced infections, repairs or corrections to dental implants, and other medications and procedures. The endodontist will explain any procedures or medication that you need, so you will know what to expect and how to move forward. We strive to provide the most minimally invasive treatment possible, so you can heal faster and return to your regular routine.
What to Expect at Your Visit
We understand that undergoing dental work can be a worrisome process. At Care Endodontics, we will do everything we can to make your visit comfortable. Whether you are visiting as a part of a regularly scheduled appointment or you are visiting for emergency services, our staff will take great care to explain the procedures you need and make sure you understand the process. When you visit, it’s helpful to bring your recent dental x-rays, if available. If you have a referral, we can get these from your dentist. You’ll also need to provide the details of your medical history, including the medications you are taking. If you have dental insurance, bring your insurance card. Patients under 18 years of age must have a parent or guardian present. If you are having surgery, you’ll need a friend or family member to take you home after the procedure.
Your dental insurance provider may require preauthorization for certain services before you receive them. In these cases, you may need to visit the office before the procedure to receive authorization.

- Dental X-rays from the last six months, if available
- Details on your medical and dental history
