Beverly Hills Endodontist

Root Canal Treatment in Beverly Hills

A toothache that keeps you up at night, sensitivity that lingers after hot or cold, swelling near the gum line: these are the signs that the nerve inside a tooth is inflamed or infected. A root canal removes that infection and saves the tooth. At Monempour Endodontics & Associates on North Camden Drive, root canals are the specialty, not a side service. Dr. Fred Monempour has treated patients in Beverly Hills and across Los Angeles for more than 25 years, and most root canals here are completed in a single visit. Call 310-278-5993 for a same-day evaluation.

Why see an endodontist for your root canal

A general dentist can perform a root canal. An endodontist does almost nothing else. Endodontists complete two or more additional years of specialty training after dental school, focused entirely on diagnosing tooth pain and treating the inside of the tooth. That focus matters when a canal is curved, calcified, or hard to locate, when a previous root canal has failed, or when the diagnosis is not obvious.

Dr. Monempour earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery and his endodontic specialty training at USC after completing his undergraduate degree at UCLA. Referring dentists throughout Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Century City and the Westside send their most complex cases to this office.

What makes a root canal at our Beverly Hills office different

Every case is treated under a surgical microscope with up to 25x magnification, which lets Dr. Monempour see and clean canals that are invisible to the naked eye. Cone beam CT imaging, enhanced with AI analysis, maps the tooth in three dimensions before treatment begins, so there are fewer surprises and less time in the chair. Canals are sealed with bioceramic materials that support natural healing.

Most root canals are completed in one appointment of 60 to 90 minutes. Patients who are anxious about dental work can choose nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation.

Root canal pain: what to actually expect

The root canal itself should not hurt. Modern anesthesia and the precision of microscope-guided treatment mean most patients describe the appointment as no more uncomfortable than a filling. The pain people associate with root canals is usually the pain of the infection beforehand, and that is what the procedure relieves. Some tenderness for a few days afterward is normal and typically managed with over-the-counter medication.

Same-day and emergency root canals in Beverly Hills

Severe tooth pain, swelling, or a tooth injured in an accident should not wait. The office offers same-day urgent care evaluations Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and a doctor is on call after hours and on weekends for emergencies. If you are in pain now, call 310-278-5993.

Traumatic injuries and urgent care

How much does a root canal cost in Beverly Hills?

The cost of a root canal depends on which tooth is involved (molars have more canals than front teeth and take longer), whether the tooth has been treated before, whether sedation is chosen, and your dental insurance benefits. Our team will review your coverage and provide a written estimate before treatment begins. Monthly payment plans through Cherry are available so cost does not delay care for a tooth that can still be saved.

Saving a natural tooth with a root canal is almost always less expensive over time than extraction followed by an implant or bridge.

Had a root canal that failed? Retreatment is available

A tooth that was treated years ago can become painful again if a canal was missed, the seal broke down, or new decay reached the root. Endodontic retreatment removes the old filling material, cleans the canals again, and reseals the tooth. When retreatment is not enough, Dr. Monempour also performs endodontic microsurgery (apicoectomy) in the office.

Signs you may need a root canal

Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting or chewing, a persistent or throbbing toothache, swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth, a pimple-like bump on the gum, or a tooth that has darkened. A cracked tooth can also expose the nerve and require treatment.
