One of Northern Idaho’s Most Experienced General Dental Providers

Riverstone Dental Care is one of the largest providers of root canal treatment in Northern Idaho outside of endodontic specialists, performing more than 450 root canals each year. Since opening our doors, our doctors have successfully completed over 6,000 root canal procedures, helping thousands of patients preserve their natural teeth.

Our extensive experience allows us to confidently treat many cases in-house while recognizing when a patient would benefit from referral to an endodontic specialist.

Setting the Standard for Diagnosis

Successful root canal treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. Every patient receives a comprehensive examination that may include:

Digital dental radiographs (X-rays)
A high-resolution 3D CBCT scan when indicated
A complete clinical examination by one of our experienced dentists

A 3D CBCT scan acts like a GPS for your tooth. It allows us to evaluate the exact shape of the root canals, identify hidden anatomy, detect fractures or infections that may not appear on traditional X-rays, and carefully plan treatment before we begin. This technology also helps us determine when referral to a root canal specialist is the best option for your specific situation.

Safety Is Our Priority

Patient safety is central to every root canal procedure. Whenever possible, we perform treatment using a dental dam (rubber dam), which isolates the tooth, helps maintain a sterile operating field, improves treatment success, and prevents bacteria or debris from entering the mouth during the procedure. Our commitment to modern techniques and evidence-based dentistry helps provide predictable, high-quality care.

Your Comfort Matters

Many patients are surprised by how comfortable modern root canal treatment can be. Depending on your needs, we offer:

Profound local anesthesia
Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”)
Oral conscious sedation
IV moderate sedation for qualified patients

Our goal is to make your appointment as relaxed and stress-free as possible.

Save Your Tooth—and Often Finish Your Crown the Same Day

After a root canal, the tooth frequently needs a dental crown to restore its strength and protect it from fracture. Because Riverstone Dental Care has invested in advanced same-day CAD/CAM technology, most patients can receive their permanent crown immediately following their root canal appointment. Instead of wearing a temporary crown and returning weeks later, many patients leave with their final restoration in a single visit. This means:

Fewer appointments
No temporary crown
Less time away from work or family
Faster return to normal function

Affordable Root Canal Treatment

Riverstone Dental Care is in-network with most PPO dental insurance plans (excluding Medicaid). Being in-network helps maximize your insurance benefits and often reduces your out-of-pocket costs. Before treatment begins, our team will review your estimated benefits and answer any financial questions so you know what to expect.
