Endodontic Associates of Palo Alto

About Endodontic Associates of Palo Alto

Endodontic Associates of Palo Alto is a dental practice limited to endodontics, the specialty that deals with the inside of the tooth. It describes itself as devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of root canal infections using conservative techniques. The office is at 420 Cambridge Avenue, Suite 5, a short walk from California Avenue.

The practice used to be called Javidan Endodontics. Its website announces the new name and refreshed branding and says patients will see the same faces at the same Palo Alto office. If you were referred to Javidan Endodontics or have an older appointment card, this is the same practice.

The about page says the team includes three endodontists and four clinic rooms. The practice also accepts referrals from general dentists and says it values open communication with each patient's own dentist.

The endodontists

• Dr. Salvia Javidan, DDS. She earned her dental degree from Northwestern University and her endodontics certificate from Loma Linda University. The practice says she has published articles in the Journal of Endodontics.
• Dr. William On, DDS. He earned his dental degree at UCLA and his endodontics certificate and master's degree from the University of the Pacific. The practice lists him as a board-certified diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics.
• Dr. Anna Bowers, DDS. She studied biology at Stanford and earned her dental degree, endodontics certificate and master's degree at the University of the Pacific. The practice also lists her as a board-certified diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics. She can discuss treatment options in Mandarin.

Services and technology

The practice lists these treatments:

• Root canal treatment
• Endodontic retreatment of a tooth that has had a previous root canal
• Cracked tooth treatment
• Care for dental trauma
• Apical surgery at the root tip
• Vital pulp therapy
• Internal bleaching of a discolored tooth

The practice's FAQ explains the basics in plain terms. A root canal treats the pulp, the soft tissue inside a tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels, when it becomes inflamed or infected. The endodontist removes the damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, then fills and seals it. The FAQ adds that the tooth is usually restored afterward with a crown or filling.

On equipment, the practice lists digital radiography, CBCT imaging, a microscope, ultrasonics and rotary systems. It also offers the GentleWave procedure, a system that uses fluid and sound waves to clean the root canal. The practice says its team is trained and certified in GentleWave and that it may not suit every patient. A consultation decides whether it fits your case.

Appointments and payment

Patient hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. To book, call 650-328-3636, email the front desk, fill out the online form on the website or stop by the office in person. The practice asks patients to have insurance details ready. Health history forms can be completed online before a first visit.

The financial policy explains how billing works. Patients without dental insurance pay at the time of treatment. When treatment takes two visits, half is due at the start and the rest at completion. For insured patients, the office estimates the insurance portion and collects the full co-payment at the visit. The practice says it submits claims for patients as a courtesy. It then mails a refund or sends a statement depending on what the insurer pays.

For referring dentists, the practice says it sets aside emergency appointments every day for patients in pain and tries to see endodontic emergencies within 24 hours. Dentists refer patients through a secure online form.
