Arlington Alexandria Endodontics

I had an emergency root canal here this week. I had no idea what to expect. They started to put the dental dam on for the procedure and it triggered my claustrophobia. I ended up having a panic attack. They were so patient, worked with me and took time to make me comfortable. At no time did they make me feel like I was a burden. Because of that, I was able to move through the anxiety and to have the procedure completed. I highly recommend them.

Very poor experience. I was referred by my Dentist for evaluation/root canal. I came in to get consult before any work was done. I waited 40 minutes to see Dr. Rivera. It took almost as long to get few X-rays of my teeth. Only to be told I have to get CT and per problem area it was $200. Which was me was 400$ out of pocket before I was even able to see Dr. Rivera. When I refused, she came in very abruptly took no more than 1 min to check my problem areas only to tell me that she can’t do anything unless I get CT scan 1st. Interesting enough my general dentist was able to tell me more about my teeth than her expertise. Also despite referral and my insurance confirmation , I was told I have to pay full amount for eval. Which in turn was front office mistake as they didn’t verify my insurance properly. You would think they would call me and correct their mistake!? No. So unhappy with their unprofessional customer service and bedside manners. By the way 3d CT scan that I was quoted $200 per tooth, for my other endodontist clinic I was quoted 240 for whole MOUTH. As I expected they are rip off. I wouldn’t recommend them . I make reviews very sparingly mostly when service is wonderful but this is way below the standard for endodontist clinic like this one. Do better.

Got a root canal here and did not have a great experience. After the root canal, I’ve had pain and sensitivity for two years, went to multiple follow up appointments where no issue was identified. Decided to go to a new endodontist who immediately identified an infection and missed nerve endings through a CT scan. Extremely frustrated that the original endodontist failed to remove all nerve endings, and then also failed to clearly diagnose the reason for my lingering pain.

My dentist referred me to this practice and I’m so glad she did. Dr. Rivera was terrific. Following a short diagnosis she squeezed me in for a root canal same day. The procedure was painless and I left feeling much better. Dr Rivera and her assistant checked in on me throughout the process ensuring that I was comfortable.

If you have to get a root canal, let it be here! I’m always so impressed by the professionalism and bedside manner of the staff. I’ve had 3 root canals done with Dr. Rivera and she is so patient and kind, always checking in to make sure you’re comfortable. Further, there is no obscurity in the treatment plan—the transparency of medical professionals is something I really value. Dr. Rivera talks through everything with you before beginning the procedure.

I saw Dr. Lee for an apiodectomy. My tooth pain coming in to see her was honestly some of the most miserable pain I’ve experienced. I was quite nervous for the procedure, shedding a few tears but she was so understanding and so was her amazing staff. The office was great too. Always on time they never ran late for any visit. Follow up went perfectly and she saved my tooth and saved me from alot of pain. I highly recommend Dr. Lee.

This was the single most worst experience of my life. Got a root canal this week and the dentist did not listen when I told them beforehand that I always need more anesthesia than normal and it wears off faster due to my metabolism. They didn't listen and I felt every single awful, haunting movement and sound around the nerves. I would've honestly preferred to just get an extraction. I can't believe I had to endure what turned into such barbaric practice. Never again.
