Same-Day Root Canal in Scottsdale, AZ — Pain Relief Today

At North Scottsdale Endodontics, we offer same-day root canal appointments for patients in pain. Our office is open Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 4:30pm, and we prioritise emergency cases every day. Call as early as possible — same-day availability is subject to schedule, but we do our best to see urgent patients the day they call.

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. At North Scottsdale Endodontics, our board-certified specialists use surgical-grade microscopes and advanced digital imaging to perform root canals with greater precision and less discomfort than traditional techniques. The majority of our patients tell us the procedure was far more comfortable than they expected. The goal of a root canal is to relieve the pain you are already experiencing — not to cause it.

Most root canals at North Scottsdale Endodontics are completed in a single visit. Our specialists use surgical microscopes and digital radiography to perform the procedure with the precision required to complete treatment efficiently. In some complex cases — such as severely curved canals or re-treatment of a previous root canal — a follow-up appointment may be needed. Your specialist will advise you of the expected treatment timeline during your consultation.

North Scottsdale Endodontics is a dedicated endodontic specialty practice — not a general dentist that also performs root canals. Our specialists focus exclusively on endodontic treatment, using surgical-grade operating microscopes and digital imaging technology that most general dental offices simply do not have. This translates to greater precision, less discomfort, and faster healing. Dr. Susan Wood is Board-Certified by the American Board of Endodontics — a distinction held by fewer than 3% of endodontists nationally. Dr. Thomas McClammy brings over 40 years of specialty endodontic experience with a focus on microscope-assisted procedures.

Yes. Dr. Susan Wood is Board-Certified by the American Board of Endodontics (ABE) — a rigorous certification process that fewer than 3% of endodontists in the United States have completed. In addition to her board certification, Dr. Wood has 17+ years of specialty endodontic practice and has published multiple research articles in the field, making her one of the most credentialed endodontists in the Scottsdale area.

Our practice uses surgical-grade operating microscopes for all root canal procedures — technology that significantly improves precision and outcomes compared to the naked eye or standard loupes. We also use digital radiography, which produces high-resolution images of your tooth's root structure with minimal radiation. Together, these technologies allow our specialists to identify and treat problems with a level of accuracy that traditional dental offices cannot match.
