First Visit
Your first visit will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis & treatment options. Our standard of care is to take a 3D CBCT scan of the area in question to assess the etiology of the problem & especially to determine the prognosis of the tooth in question. A 3D scan is crucial in assessing for possible fractures in teeth that can drastically affect the outcome of treatment. Futhermore, a 3D CBCT scan will reveal the complex anatomy inside the tooth making treatments more predictable. Please see our scheduling section for more information.
After your consultation visit, we will email a detailed report to you & your referring dentist. Our reports are comprehensive & take up to 7 business days to complete.
No show & late cancellation policy: We do not reschedule patients that don't show up to their scheduled consultation appointment and/or cancel on the same day. We request a minimum of 24 hours' notice for all cancellations or rescheduling requests. Consultation appointments with cancellations made within 24 hours, or failure to appear for your appointment will not be rescheduled. We understand emergencies happen and will consider documented exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

Our Mission
Open communication through patient education is a priority of Governors Endodontics.

We want our patients to understand their options in regards to saving their teeth and help alleviate any anxiety they may have about the process of root canal therapy, microsurgery & endodontics.
