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
I had a wonderful experience at Prime Endodontics. I have severe dental anxiety due to extremely sensitive and painful teeth and issues getting numb- to say I was frightened is an understatement. Dr. Cohenca was kind, gentle, caring, and patient with me and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. I hope I don’t have to have another root canal but if I do, I will without a doubt return to Prime Endodontics. Thank you so much!
Dr. Cohenca has saved several teeth for me with root canals. He is the BEST!
If you're suffering from tooth pain and don't know where to go, don't waste your time and money. Visit Prime Endodontics in Kirkland and see Dr. Nestor Cohenca, D.D.S. He’s not just an endodontist — he’s like an angel when it comes to fixing root canals.The office is clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this clinic. Thank you so much for helping me get rid of my pain!
I had the best experience. First of all the staff is accommodating and really caring as I was in so much pain they gave me earliest appointment which was next morning. I did my paper work before hand. Dr. Cohenca is an amazing doc. He evaluated me first to confirm that for sure root canal is required and then 1.5 hour around it took for while procedure. After 2 hours of root canal when my anesthesia was gone I had literally no pain.They even gave me headphones to listen to music so that I don’t have to hear that drilling noise and become anxious.100% recommend !!!
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.
