out of Read Reviews for Dr. Maryann Aminian
I have had to have a number of root canals in my life and Dr. Aminian has changed my view of the procedure. She is quick (one visit!) and virtually painless. In fact, the only pain is very slight, and that comes from the shot to numb me. Root canals are expensive, however I find her price to be very fair.

I went to Dr. A in Feb 2007 on the reference of my primary dentist. The dental office is on the first floor of a building in the U District. The waiting room has plush carpeting, there are frosted glass panels, Chihuly like vases and a cart with bottled water and soda, giving the office a plush feel.
Coming back from vacation and seeing Dr. A on an emergency basis, I was dressed very casually. I was a bit put off when the office manager asked whether I could afford the procedure. To settle the issue I wrote a check then and there for $1,800.
The procedure took about 50 minutes. I did experience quite a bit of pain for a bit. I don't know whether it was avoidable or not. No one cared to explain much about whether I should be aware of any post-procedure problems. After the procedure, I said goodbye at the front desk and Dr. A had her head down to see when her next appointment would show up.
I have had no problems with the tooth in the last three months. I would go back to Dr. A if I was lazy and did not want to spend the time to find someone else. But in reality, I have to get another root canal (Yikes), and I am exploring Dr. Short and Dr. Bull or the UW clinic.

I went in to get a root canal and was told it was going to be $2100. Then, I go to sit down and get the local anesthetic shot. Dr. Aminian gives me the shot and shoots the anesthesia through a nerve in my gums! I can't open my jaw AT ALL for 5 hours!! I still had to pay the $80 for the consultation visit, though. I spoke with another dentist, and they said she was using too long of a needle to give the injection, and had pierced a nerve with her needle.

Quik, efficient, freindly and direct staff. I felt no pain during the procedure. There was Television with head phones. And they made sure I was doing ok through out.
Was hoping to get a bit more explaination on just how much I could use the temp crown until they could get me in back at my general dentist. Great facilities.
