Questions Santa Clara patients ask

How fast can I get an emergency root canal if I'm in Santa Clara?

Most Santa Clara patients are seen the same day. Our office in Sunnyvale is 10–15 minutes from most of Santa Clara depending on whether you're coming from Levi's Stadium, the Mission area, or the Santa Clara University corridor. Saturdays and Sundays are covered, 9 AM to 3 PM.

Do you take walk-ins from Santa Clara?

Please call ahead — (669) 234-2354. The drive is short enough that calling now and arriving within the hour is normal, but we want to make sure the operatory is ready when you walk in.

What's the fastest route from Santa Clara to your Sunnyvale office?

From most of Santa Clara: Lawrence Expressway south to Homestead Road, west on Homestead, then south on Hollenbeck Avenue. Our office is at 1565 Hollenbeck Ave, Suite 106. Roughly 10–15 minutes from the Mission Santa Clara, Santa Clara University, or downtown Santa Clara. Free parking in the building lot.

I'm in pain right now — what should I do before I get there?

Take 600 mg ibuprofen if you can tolerate NSAIDs (Tylenol if not). Avoid heat on the painful side; cold water or a cold compress helps short-term. Don't chew on that side. Call us so we know you're coming.

Does insurance cover an emergency root canal?

Most dental insurance plans cover root canal treatment as a standard benefit. We accept most major plans and submit the claim for you. Call with your insurance information when you book so we can verify your benefits before your appointment.
