We are located at 600 NW Gilman Blvd Suite A, Issaquah, WA 98027, near Gilman Village and Issaquah Highlands with easy I-90 access and ample parking.

Yes. We reserve time for dental emergencies and strive to provide same-day care for tooth pain, infections, and dental trauma.

Modern endodontics and sedation options make root canal therapy comfortable. Most patients report immediate relief after treatment.

Endodontists like Dr. Dejbod complete additional years of advanced training focused exclusively on root canal therapy and complex tooth pain. This leads to higher success rates and more comfortable care.

Both general dentists and endodontists can perform root canals, but endodontists complete 2-3 years of additional specialty training focused exclusively on saving teeth and managing complex cases. At Evergreen Endodontics, we use advanced technology like operating microscopes and 3D CBCT imaging to see details that are otherwise invisible, which means more precise treatment, less chair time, and a higher long-term success rate. Dr. Dejbod has performed over 10,000 root canal procedures. General dentists are excellent at restorative care, and many choose to refer complex cases to specialists because they want the best outcome for their patients. We work closely with your dentist and return you to them for the final crown.

We are in-network and preferred providers with most major PPO dental plans, including Delta Dental, Regence Blue Shield, Premera Blue Cross, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, Humana, MetLife, United Healthcare, Washington Dental Service, United Concordia, Principal, Ameritas, Assurant, Standard, Maverest, and more.

No. Evergreen Endodontics is not in-network with Apple Health, Molina, or other Washington state dental plans. That said, state dental insurance usually does not cover root canals except on front teeth, so many patients with these plans still choose to come to us. They do it because saving a natural tooth is almost always better than extraction, and they want the quality of care, advanced technology, and specialist experience that makes that possible. We regularly see patients with state insurance who drive from across the region for this reason. We will provide a clear, upfront cost estimate and answer any questions before treatment.

Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive exam, 2D digital X-rays, and a personalized treatment plan. Most dental insurance plans cover two exams and 2D X-rays per year at 100%, so your first visit is often fully covered. If you have used both exams, your insurance still applies its discounted contracted rate. After the exam, we review all findings and treatment options with you, including exact costs, before any procedure is done. We do not perform treatment without your approval, so there is no surprise billing. Root canal costs depend on the tooth and insurance: typical in-network contracted rates are about $800 for front teeth, $1,000 for premolars, and $1,300 for molars. With insurance and benefits remaining for the calendar year, most patients pay $160-$655 out of pocket; without insurance, fees start around $1,300+ for anteriors, $1,500+ for premolars, and $1,900+ for molars. Because insurance companies set fixed in-network rates, the negotiated price is the same across in-network offices--what you are choosing is the quality of care, technology, and experience.

We work with both primary and secondary dental insurance plans to maximize your benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket cost. Our team verifies coverage, coordinates benefits between carriers, and files claims on your behalf. If you have two dental plans, the secondary plan may cover part of what the primary does not. We will explain how your specific plans work together and what your expected cost will be before any treatment. We do not handle medical insurance for dental procedures; we focus on dental PPO plans.

Dental insurance is separate from medical insurance and works on an annual benefit basis. Most plans provide a yearly maximum (for example, $2,000 per calendar year) that resets each January and does not roll over. Your insurance company has already negotiated discounted, fixed rates with in-network offices, so the fee is the same across participating providers. For endodontic procedures like root canals, many plans cover 80%, meaning the patient pays 20% of the insurance-contracted fee after a small deductible (often $25-$50 once per year). Most plans also cover two exams and 2D X-rays per year at 100%. If your benefits have been exhausted, they will replenish when your plan renews. Exact coverage depends on your specific plan, and we verify your benefits before treatment so you know your exact cost.

We offer sedation dentistry for anxious patients to keep every visit calm and relaxed.

Endodontic retreatment is a procedure to address a previous root canal that did not fully heal or has developed a new issue. Dr. Dejbod uses advanced imaging and microscopes to locate and treat the problem.

Call (425) 697-9777 or book online at https://booking.evergreenendo.com. We welcome both patient self-referrals and referrals from dentists.

No referral is required. Issaquah patients can call (425) 697-9777 or book online directly. If you have previous imaging, X-rays, or other information about the tooth, you are welcome to share it with us. For very complex cases, a referral from your general dentist may be helpful to coordinate care. We also welcome referrals from general dentists.

Most root canal treatments take 60-90 minutes. We use advanced technology and efficient techniques so Issaquah patients can get back to their day quickly.

No. Dental crowns are a restorative procedure performed by your general dentist or prosthodontist after the root canal is complete. Once we finish your root canal, we send you back to your dentist to place the permanent crown, which protects the tooth and restores its function.

Many cracked teeth can be saved with a root canal and crown. Dr. Dejbod evaluates the crack's extent and recommends the best option to preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.

Yes. We accept most major employer dental plans, including those commonly offered by local employers in the Issaquah area.
