Root Canal Therapy

Dr Wu was outstanding. My tooth that needed attention is the anchor for a bridge and was difficult due to decay under the crown. In the end the result was an incomplete root canal as Dr Wu wanted to have my primary dentist check to see if the tooth is salvageable. If so, we will be back to complete the root canal.

- Gary H

The treatment went very well. No pain.

- John S

I liked the ongoing explanations of the procedure by Dr Wu to help me feel at ease before and during my root canal. She answered my additional questions as well. The way novacaine is administered is virtually pain free and swelling doesn't linger after the procedure. Recommend.

- Sara G

I was so well taken care of.

- Carol Z

Solid, dependable, professional

- Pete F

Great clinical experience and a painless root canal as well excellent customer service. A small issue was the final cost being higher than the initial estimate due to insurance limits. I highly recommend Alderwood Endodontics.

- Sonia G

I was very uneasy about my first- ever root canal. From my first consultation, every staff member made me feel at ease. On Root Canal Day, Dr Wu, assisted by Cali, did an outstanding job and kept me informed at every step. I had no pain during the procedure and none since! I will recommend Dr Wu and the Alderwood Endodontics team enthusiastically. Thank you! You guys are the best.

- Tony B

The best in every way

- Lila E

Dr Wu and her staff provide excellent care and follow up.

- Holly E

Great to have this very good care. Loved Dr. Wu.

- Laurene W

What can I say? There were condolences from friends about needing a root canal. Dr. Wu was amazing. I slept through most of the procedure and there's no pain and little discomfort following. That may not be everyone's experience, but it sure was mine.

- Jon C

Dr Kang performed the procedure. I was very impressed with the attention to detail that he showed. You can clearly tell that he loves his work and performed it with experience and expertise. I have already recommended him to coworker and friends and the procedure was a little more than a week ago. I’m not one to write a review or recommend anything to anyone because it’s is unfortunate that so few people have high standards and skills. Dr. Kang has both and I felt compelled to acknowledge his dedication and commitment to providing excellent work. Thanks for being there for me and doing such a great job. Sincerely, your patient for life Chris G.

- Giovi A

Front desk people were polite and handled all the new patient information quickly. Dr Kang was exceptional. Explained everything and had a light touch while doing the root canal. Absolutely no pain afterwards. Dental assistants were great too!!

- Melanie W

I felt I was visiting friends at the clinic. Staff was great from the start, with the front desk, dental assistant/hygienist, and of course, Dr. Wu. I got in the next day after getting recommended by my dentist to have an evaluation of my tooth/gum pain. My pain got worse overnight by the time I saw Dr. Wu. She was able to schedule me within 1 hour after the evaluation to get a root canal. I was SO relieved I did not have to wait another day, being in SO MUCH pain, She saved me from using more sick time by getting me in quickly. Dr. Wu was so thorough in her explanation of everything and took her time. HIGHLY recommend her and her staff!!!

- Jacqueline S

Very professional, very friendly, excellent treatment and great receptionist, very welcoming and super helpful. The doctor was outstanding, and the nurses are wonderful. Very high complements.

- Elie K

Dr Wu explained that it was a difficult root canal, but she was going to try. She was extremely careful about going gently and doing all she could to keep me comfortable. I don't ever remember any dental procedure that was as reassuring. I had never had a root canal, but had heard many stories. This was as good as it could get, I believe and she was able to get it done. Thank you Alderwood Endodontics!

- Glenda Diane C

Loved the doctor! I am a fearful patient and she was very understanding and empathic. She explained everything and, surprisingly, it didn’t hurt at all! Thank you.

- Barbara S

Everyone was courteous and professional. Treatment was explained and conducted well. As with anything in the American health profit system, be prepared for high expenses, especially if you don't have adequate insurance coverage.

- Kevin D

THE DOCTOR AND STAFF WERE SO KIND AND ACCOMMODATING I HIghly RECOMMEND THIS ALDERWOOD ENDODONTICS

- marife v

Yes, I have already recommended your great clinic to many friends !

- CHRISTINE O

Wonderful experience. Painless. Dr even called the next day to check on me!

- Danny w

Dr Grace Wu is has excellent expertise performing root canals, explains every step as she works, and is very friendly. She also made a special effort to quickly interpret an imaging test result after I left the initial evaluation appointment. Her assistant was also proficient and nice! It was easy to get an appointment, and the wait times were short.

- Lynn T

This was not my first root canal procedure, but it was my first visit to this clinic. It was also my first time to need a "repair" of an old root canal that was causing intermittent pain. The entire team was helpful and very careful to explain things every step of the way, from scheduling, procedure and explanations of after care. THANK YOU!! My mouth was feeling great the very next day!

- KATHIE D

I appreciate and thank Dr Wu and her awesome assistant. I’m not an easy patient. Mouth appointments are not my favorite way to spend my time. But it’s the only way to keep my teeth. And now I know I can trust Dr Wu and her staff if I need them in my future. Thanks again!!

- Holly H

Everything was good and I'm happy with the treatment.

- Anna Ataman A

Dr. Wu was excellent. She was very professional and explained everything in detail and in way that I could understand. Highly recommend.

- Gary M

Dr. Wu and her staff saw me on short notice and performed a root canal on a painful tooth. Dr. Wu and her staff made sure I was comfortable and explained everything that was happening in detail. As far as difficult dental work goes, it was the absolute best experience I could have hoped for.

- Tara H

Very accommodating for a sudden referral for a problematic Root Canal issue...

- Charles S

Dr Wu was very gente in administering the anesthesia and explained every steps.

- Grecilda C

Dr. Barrineau made me feel so comfortable and was as gentle as possible. My recovery time was only 2 days. She explained the process before we began. Her staff was so friendly and professional from the minute I made the appointment through the procedure and after! I would recommend Alderwood Endodontics for a root canal.

- Becky D

Very professional and very pleasant

- Ernie N

I recently had a root canal retreatment at this office and had a very positive experience. The office itself is very clean and well-maintained, which gave me extra confidence in the care I received.

- Darin L

- Kseniia A

Outstanding office, the best root canal I have ever had. I recommend this office to everyone.

- Amir A

The procedure from start to finish was stress free. Dr. Grace Wu and her Assistant are dialed into Patient comfort. They both asked to be informed of the slightest discomfort. I left the office with no pain whatever. I had fallowed the pre-appointment suggestions of taking two Advil before Procedure and two that evening, it's a been week and never any Pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Grace H. Wu, she is caring and exceptionally skilled .

- Matthew C

After my initial visit I was very comfortable with Dr Wu and her staff. I was relaxed the day of the procedure and had no qualms anticipating a root canal. Her instructions were clear and I left feeling well cared for. As she promised, she called the next day to check on me.

- Mark S

I recently had a root canal done, and I couldn’t be more impressed! The staff was friendly and professional, the procedure was surprisingly comfortable, and the endodontist took the time to explain everything clearly. My tooth feels great, and I’m so relieved to have found such a skilled and caring specialist. Highly recommend!

- Thuy B

As a person of whom is naturally very nervous about coming to see a Dentist, or have any form of Dentistry work done, I found myself incredibly calm during the entire procedure. The overall atmosphere of the office, and extremely patient staff, helped tremendously through my Root Canal Procedure. I shall be coming to your office for future visits, and am beyond grateful for everyone's kindness/patience!

- Sadaf K

Dr. Owart and his assistants were so awesome. I also enjoyed the sense of humor in the room.

- Riina S

This was my 7th root canal in my lifetime since I had crowns and bridges put in over 10 years ago. I think I've had approximately 2 now at Alderwood Endontics. All the staff were a pleasure to work with and completely understanding of my concerns in the procedure.

- Gerry A

I am very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Owart and his entire office! I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of their expertise. TI was rereferred to them on the Monday morning before Thanksgiving, had my first visit on Tuesday and they took care of my root canal on Wednesday! I was able to enjoy Thanksgiving and travel out of town to a wedding on Friday without a worry! A BIG THANK YOU to Dr. Owart and all of his Staff!

- Douglas M

Dr. Grace Wu is really nice. During my treatment, I felt so relaxed and comfortable. If I felt any pain, she would stop and figured out.I really recommend her.

- Yen-Ling C

Thank you to all team working in Alderwood Endodontics, including front desk friendly ladies, dentist's assistants - Frida is cool!! And personal Thanks to Dr. Grace Wu!!! I will definitely recommend you to my family and friends! Thanks again!!! 🙂

- Karina O O

I was very happy overall with the procedure. What a great team.

- BRIAN T

A root canal is never something to look forward to, but Dr. Wu and her team were exceptional. Explained every step, helped me try and relax. I would highly recommend Alderwood Endodontics.

- Julie Z

Excellent doctors that specialize in root canal and gentle wave therapy Is this is all they do? They are very good at it.

- Susan B

Dr.Owart was very caring and explained in detail what would happen during the procedure. He was as gentle as possible and very thorough.

- Ted L

Dr. Owart and his assistant were incredible kind, gentle, and calming. I was at my dentist's office for a toothache, and within an hour, sitting in Dr. Owart's chair for a root canal. Needless to say, it was an unexpected procedure, and one that I've never had before. I had a great deal of anxiety! Dr. Owart was very empathetic to my anxiety, and went above and beyond (in my opinion) to make my experience comfortable and pain-free!

- Andrea C

Dr Owart, while incredibly young compared to my age was very kind, empathic and knowledgeable. I have a Dentist in my family and he reminds me a lot of my cousin with his chair-side manner. I have recommended Dr Birkin to two of my retired dentist's friends. I had to wait for a month before I wrote this review just to make sure there were no problems. I can now say it has been the easiest root canal I have ever experienced. Thank you Dr. Owart.

- Diane B

I had a root canal performed by Dr. Owart on August 21, 2024, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his care and professionalism. Although a root canal was not something I ever wanted, Dr. Owart took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, which eased a lot of my anxiety. The procedure turned out to be more challenging and time-consuming than expected, lasting 3.5 hours instead of the anticipated 2. However, Dr. Owart made sure I was comfortable and pain-free throughout the entire process, which was a major concern for me. His dedication to ensuring I had a positive experience despite the difficulty of the procedure was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Owart for his expertise and compassionate care.

- Kim B

I am extremely nervous when it comes to dental work but Dr. Barrineau and her assistant were very calming and reassuring.

- Donna R

Dr. Wu is wonderful. She explains in detail what is going to happen during the procedure as well as continued update as your treatment is in progress. She uses state of the art equipment! Love the fact that she follows up two days after your treatment to see how you're doing. Highly recommend Dr Wu!!

- Marie G

Thank you so much for your great work. I had absolutely no pain after doing a root canal.

- Zahra V

Dr. Wu is amazing, gentle, campassionate and extremely thoughtful and thourogh. Root canal was completed with minimal discomfort and anxiety. It is obvious she is a master of her craft. I wish she did regular dentistry.

- Debbie N

Dr. Wu has done 2 root canals for me, 1 in 2021 and 1 in 2024. She is very personable, professional and does excellent work. I highly recommend her.

- Peggy N

The entire process was about as easy and friendly as one could expect!

- Thomas W

Dr. Bogaert and his assistant were very compassionate during my procedure. The procedure was also pain-free, something I did not expect. And the procedure took exactly the amount of time Dr. Bogaert said it would. I felt very relieved and relaxed when I left. If I need any more work done I will definitely return!

- Marianne S

The staff and doctor was friendly and very informative. They walked me through every step of the process and made my first root canal experience as comfortable and easy as it could be. Appreciate their care and attention to detail.

- Hazel M

Dr. Barrineau was wonderful and skilled. My root canal was done timely and she made sure I wasn’t feeling any pain. She was thorough and I am so happy with the care I received. My tooth feels great and my gums are healing well.

- Lisa B

Everything about this place says professional. I had two fairly involved root canals done and after each one, I could hardly tell my teeth had been worked on. I had no pain during either procedure. They are quick, kind and very good at it. I would recommend them to anyone.

- Lawrence M

I was really grateful that everything was explained very clearly and they made sure I was comfortable. Thank you.

- Keita S

I had my second root canal with Dr. Bogaert. Again, he was awesome. He made sure I was comfortable/pain free and let me listen to my airpods while he worked. Made the time go by quickly! I would recommend him to anyone. His team was kind, quick and they had things running like a well oiled machine.

- Diana H

I was very grateful to be worked in so quickly for this visit and Chris at the front desk was wonderful. She was by herself and I could hear how patient, calm and kind she was to patients. I had a root canal procedure done with Dr Barrineau and her assistant Frieda. Frieda was absolutely amazing! She was very informative and let me know everything she was doing every step of the way, she was also super nice. Dr Barrineau had the most amazing bedside manner and made the procedure seem not so bad. She was very efficient and you could tell that she knew what she was doing, she was also very friendly and talked to me the whole way through, which I find is not common with dental providers. My procedure was a little complicated and ran late and I did not feel rushed at all, I felt very well cared for. I have a history of dental fear and have had a lot of dental procedures in my lifetime, this is one of the best experiences I have ever had. Thank You!

- Cassandra P

Thank you !

- Shannon B

I definitely recommend Dr. Wu and her office staff.

- Shari R

I love how Dr Wu hums, interacts and laughs heartily throughout the appointment. She is the best Endo I have ever encountered!!!

- Stephen Z

Nobody calls a root-canal "elective surgery" for good reason - but your office, and especially Dr. Wu treated me with such kindness. Her assistant Kali was outstanding. I did not expect such painfree care and attention to my questions. Thank you both! Ted

- Ted H

I liked that everything was explained in a real logical way The dentist I could tell has a history of superior teaching ability in denestry

- eugene f

Everybody pleasant, professional. & skilled. Highly recommend this office.

- Kay M

Had a root canal gone bad. Dr. Wu is so kind and explains all steps of the procedures well before starting. This tooth had 4 roots. The followup X-ray showed them all evenly filled. I could keep the crown since she worked through the middle of it. All quite amazing. Totally settled in 3 days. I highly recommend Dr. Wu and the entire office staff. All kind and considerate!

- Suzanne A

Dr.Wu was Amazing!Made me feel at ease.She was Very Caring

- Tammy D

Relaxing atmosphere in all ways. Friendly staff & doctor. Could not ask for a better experience. Root canal completed with no pain and no pain after. Great experience with this office and recommend to all. Thank You Dr. Bogaert, DMD. PhD.

- Jan K

Great experience and would highly recommend

- Jimmy H

Have had root canals with both Dr Bogaert and Wu and you can’t go wrong. They make you comfortable and make the entire process about as good as it can be. Rest of staff is also friendly, professional and helpful.

- John A

I have never seen a dentist who sang a country song while performing the root canal procedure. She is very energetic and hardworking. I did not feel any pain throughout the procedure. If you want a dentist who loves country music and with a positive energy, I recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr.Bara. I hope she stays this way because it is hard to find a person who is free spirited these days.

- Waiyan A

I had a wonderful experience with Dr Grace Wu and her attendant nurses! I would thoroughly recommend Dr Grace and her colleagues!

- Ivan H

From the time of making the appointment I was OK. I am Elderly and have been around a lot, but my first time to a tooth specialist. I have certain medical issues that require attention to. All was performed so perfect. From The beginning to the End. I would Highly recommend Alderwood Endodontics to any one. Young, Middle Age, and certainly the Elderly. So very important to me was the telephone call in two days by Dr Wu to see how all was going and any concerns. I thank all for being a fantastic perfect ( like the old days) clinic. Sincerely Margaret Black

- Margaret B

The experience was as good as it gets for a root canal treatment. Dr. Wu and her assistant Frida were very professional and explained every step of the process as they worked helping calm my anxiety.

- Nancy M

A Root Canal procedure is not a fun thing to do, but the doctors and staff at Alderwood Endodontics did a great job. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, doctor Bogaert skills and bedside manner was fantastic. I would highly recommend this Dental Practice to anyone requiring complex and difficult dental work.

- DANE LESLIE R

First time visit to this office. All staff was friendly and helpful. I have a lot of anxiety about dental work and doctor and staff were very helpful and understanding. Procedure was a great success with no complications and easy recovery. Would definitely go back to this office and recommend to others as well!

- Lori H

The N2O cost an additional $120. Also, they gave me over-the-counter drugs. Last time I had major dental work, the DDS gave me Percocet™, good stuff.

- WILLIAM C

I was deeply disappointed that I was only given over-the-counter drugs and N2O was a $120 extra. Back when I was a kid, they gave out bottles of Percocet™, and while we couldn't take the N2O home, it was free while in the Chair (in-cathedra).

- WILLIAM C

I would highly recommend Dr. Barrineau if you need a root canal. She is an excellent dentist and was well trained. I had little if any pain during the process, which is a vast change from a previous root canal by a different clinic.
