What to Expect at Your First Endodontic Visit

If you’ve been referred to an endodontist, or scheduled an appointment yourself, you may be wondering what your visit will involve, especially if it’s your first time. At East Atlanta Endodontics & Microsurgery, we’re here to make your experience as smooth, clear, and comfortable as possible from start to finish.

Your first visit typically begins with a thorough consultation. We’ll review your dental history, talk through any symptoms you’re experiencing, and take detailed digital imaging, often with our Cone Beam CT Scanner for a complete 3D view of your tooth and surrounding structures. This allows us to accurately diagnose the source of your pain or damage and determine the most effective treatment plan.

Once we’ve reviewed your case, we’ll discuss our findings with you in detail and walk you through your treatment options, such as root canal therapy, retreatment, or another procedure. If appropriate, treatment can often begin the same day. We take the time to answer all your questions, explain each step of the process, and ensure you feel informed and comfortable before proceeding.

Whether you’re dealing with a cracked tooth, infection, or unresolved pain, your first visit is the first step toward relief and long-term oral health. We’re here to guide you every step of the way, with precision, compassion, and care you can trust.
