I am a high anxiety patient but let me tell you..... I went in fully expecting my world to come crashing down the second my mouth opened for the procedure but when it came to it I couldn't have been more surprised. The staff there were all extremely friendly, they answered all my questions and explained the entire process before starting and even continued explaining what they were doing as they went to do it during the entire procedure. I was halfway through and realized I hadn't even had my hands clenched the entire time! The Dr that did my procedure was so kind and gentle handed. I didn't feel like I had a root canal after. Other than my mouth being numb for a few hours after I am pain free and I could return toall normal activity. I was able to drink water immediately after and able to eat as soon as the numbing went down. Thank you Columbia river endodontics!

Outstanding experience, had a root canal done by Dr Dawson and the assistant I believe was aracalia or anacelia. Great people make you feel very welcome and completely comfortable, they run down everything you'd need to know based on your x-rays and go through the process in which he'll be preforming. In and out in an hour timespand. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone in need of a root canal procedure! Will definitely go back here if needed future work done!

My wonderful dentist Ryan Bagley, DDS sent me to Columbia River Endodontics because I needed a root canal, and the root was odd angled. I'm so glad I got the referral! It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. The front office was clean and inviting, the staff was very welcoming and explained paperwork which I filled out on a tablet. They provided my estimate for me. It was a short wait then the assistant Arcelie took me for an Xray and was kind and pleasant. She answered all my questions I had for her. Dr. Chad Dawson, DDS, PLLC quickly arrived and went through the x-rays and explained everything in detail. When I requested Nitrous, he said that he had also used nitrous when he had a root canal done, (I don't know about you, but it helps me to know they know what a root canal feels like) He was a true artist, I hardly felt anything from numbing to finish. Afterwards they made sure I didn't have any questions and made sure to discuss pain management and that if the filling didn't feel right after the numbness wore off, I should come back, and they would fix it. I was so pleased with the process and would highly recommend them, and if I have to do it again would go back to this office without any hesitation. A huge thank you to this office, assistant Arcelie and Dr. Dawson! Also a shoutout to my insurance Deltadentalcoversme for always giving me great insurance!

I want to say that Colombia Endodontics is one of the best root canal experiences I've ever had. The staff is amazing. I waited only 2 minutes to be brought back for treatment. It was completely painless and Dr. Garth is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They explained everything so that I could understand the process and made sure I was comfortable at all times. Thank you for one of the best experiences.

I had an amazing experience at Columbia River Endodontics! A tooth that I had worked on 10 years ago was failing, so I was referred here to get things fixed. Nicki up front was so friendly and eased all of my anxiety, then Dr. Garth and Della were so proficient during my procedure. He managed to get half of my jaw numb without me ever even feeling any pain or injection! I was very comfortable during the entire procedure, and very pleased with the result. I recommend them highly!
