Endodontic treatments involve cleaning, shaping, and sealing the canals inside the roots of teeth. This can usually be accomplished by a small opening made through the chewing surface of the tooth. Occasionally, a more advanced surgical approach may be recommended, which requires the roots to be treated through a small incision in the gum tissue.
After the completion of treatment in our office, a follow up visit is necessary by your dentist, to complete the restoration of the tooth. We will make the appropriate recommendations regarding follow up visits depending on the procedure performed.

Dr. Etessami and his staff have been wonderful every step of the way. I had a tooth extraction very unexpectedly, and the entire team was comforting, friendly, and professional. Dr. Etessami is very skilled and experienced, and I had no pain at all throughout the entire process. I appreciate their attentive care and highly recommend them.

Absolutely amazing staff and treatment! Dr Etessami redid a root canal that I had done at a different doctor's office and was having severe tooth pain. After Dr Etessami treated me the pain was completely gone and the root canal was so easy! Super quick, I almost fell asleep during it I was so comfortable! Highly recommend getting treated here.

I have been seeing Rami Etessami for probably 30 years or more for endodontal work and he recently just extracted a wisdom tooth. I have found his office and his care beyond excellent, compassionate and professional. He doesn't do what he doesn't have to do. He tries not to do procedures but when he does them he does them with absolutely no error, no complications and is the kindest, most trustworthy man and dentist. I have terrible dental phobia. He has corrected the work of dental errors in the past 30 years so to trust someone takes a lot and I trust him completely.

Dr Rami Etessami is the best doctor I know. He is kind, carring and very knowledgable. Even though the visit to endodontist is never fun, I feel very confortable in this office and very safe in hands of Dr Etessami. This time I drove to San Francisco to see him and was very happy and thanking God that Dr Rami was the one who did the procedure on my tooth. It was pretty dificult case and I am sure that no one could do it better than him!

Dr. Rami Etessami went above and beyond to make my root canal as painless as possible. I first reached out to Dr. Eressami's office on a Friday afternoon with a (popcorn related) dental emergency. His office is closed on Fridays but he immediately called me back. We scheduled an appointment for Monday and he talked me through how to minimize pain over the weekend. The procedure itself isn't pleasant but Dr. Rami has a very calming presence and the whole staff worked to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Afterwards, he and his office followed up to make sure that I was healing properly both call and text. I recommend Dr. Rami to anyone!

I have known Dr. Etessami for almost 20 years. Not only is he considered one of the top specialists in his field, he is also a wonderful human being. Recently, I had the opportunity to see Dr. Etessami from a different perspective...one of his dental chairs as I had a serious issue that had to be addressed urgently. My family and friends know that I'm the biggest chicken on those chairs... by the day of my surgery I was a total nervous wreck. Dr. Etessami was wonderful! He was warm and kind while at the same time fast, efficient and highly professional. His whole team strove to take care of me and assuage my fears. I'm not wishing an apicoectomy on anyone, but if you ever happen to need one, do not hesitate to call Dr. Etessami's office. There isn't anyone else I would so highly recommend. Thank you guys! You are awesome!
