First Visit

_MG_6472

Welcome!

Your initial appointment with us is vital in order to evaluate your condition, accurately diagnose, and discuss treatment options.The doctors at Heights Endodontics utilize a variety of diagnostics tools and techniques to determine how to proceed with your endodontic treatment.
 

Every patient is unique and each case is special. In some circumstances, there may be better options than a root canal treatment which is why we are committed to working closely with your dentist and other specialists to determine how we can assist in improving your quality of life.

Following this initial consultation, if root canal treatment is needed, we will schedule your appointment. For those patients who are in pain, we may initiate treatment at the first appointment.

X-Rays & Digital Imaging

Your dentist may send one or more x-rays for us to review prior to your initial consultation. Although these x-rays are helpful in diagnosing your treatment, one or more digital x-rays will be taken at your consultation appointment to provide a more precise view of the tooth. Heights Endodontics is outfitted exclusively with digital x-ray equipment. Digital x-rays are also utilized during the treatment. Rest assured that any x-rays taken at our office are essential to your treatment. You may also be assured that our low dose digital x-rays are designed to limit radiation exposure. Please inform the team or one of our doctors if you are pregnant during your consultation. Extra precautions will be taken to achieve minimum exposure.

In addition to digital x-rays Heights Endodontics is also equipped with a state of the art J. Morita CBCT 3-dimensional digital imaging system. This advanced technology provides an unparalleled diagnostic view. CBCT may be indicated in many complicated cases.
