Many of our patients travel from Federal Way for advanced root canal treatment at Burien Endodontics. Located just a short drive from Federal Way via I-5, we provide gentle, effective endodontic care using the latest technology. Whether you're experiencing tooth pain, need a root canal, or require emergency treatment, our team is here to help restore your oral health.
At Burien Endodontics, Dr. Matthew Tomala and our team combine high-quality, gentle care with cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional endodontic treatment. You don't need a dentist referral to schedule an appointment with us. We welcome Federal Way patients who want to take control of their dental health and receive care directly from an endodontic specialist.
Federal Way residents trust us for root canal therapy and other endodontic procedures because we offer advanced care they can't always find at a general dental practice. Our board-certified endodontist uses specialized training and state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise, comfortable treatment.
We stand out through our advanced technology, including CBCT scanning, Global A-Series 6 Step Dental Microscopes, digital radiography, and laser treatment for disinfection and pain management. Dr. Tomala completed his postgraduate training in Endodontics at the University of Washington and earned his Master of Science degree in Dentistry. He maintains a close association with the University of Washington as an affiliate assistant faculty member within the School of Endodontics.
Our patient-focused approach means we prioritize your health, safety, and comfort. We take time to explain your treatment options and answer your questions so you can make informed decisions about your care. Many Federal Way patients appreciate our same-day emergency availability, which most endodontic practices don't offer.
We provide complete endodontic care for patients from Federal Way and the surrounding areas. Our services include:
Root canal therapy is our most common procedure, saving teeth that have infected or inflamed pulp tissue. We use advanced techniques to ensure comfortable, effective treatment. Most root canal procedures can be completed in a single visit.
Endodontic retreatment addresses teeth that didn't heal properly after a previous root canal or developed new problems. We can often save these teeth and help you avoid extraction.
Apicoectomy surgery treats infections at the tip of a tooth root when standard root canal therapy isn't sufficient. This procedure removes the infected tissue and seals the root end.
Cracked teeth require specialized diagnosis and treatment. We use operating microscopes and CBCT imaging to identify cracks and determine the best treatment approach to preserve your natural tooth.
Emergency endodontic care is available for Federal Way patients experiencing severe tooth pain, swelling, or trauma. Call us right away if you're having a dental emergency. We offer same-day appointments when you need urgent care.
We also provide assessment and treatment of traumatic injuries and pain diagnosis management. Our early intervention with laser technology in trauma cases may help you avoid needing root canal treatment.
Our Burien office is typically about 15-20 minutes from Federal Way via I-5 North. Take exit 154B toward Burien/Des Moines and follow the signs to our practice. We offer easy parking and flexible appointment times to accommodate your schedule. The convenient location makes it simple for Federal Way residents to access specialized endodontic care without a long commute.
When you arrive at our office, we'll begin with a thorough consultation and examination. We take diagnostic images and perform CBCT scans to get a complete picture of your tooth structure and any underlying issues. These digital tools help us plan your treatment with precision.
Dr. Tomala will discuss your treatment options and answer any questions you have. We believe in patient education and want you to understand your procedure before we begin. Most often, we can provide same-day treatment, so you won't need multiple appointments to resolve your dental issue.
During your procedure, we use advanced anesthesia techniques and gentle methods to ensure your comfort. Our operating microscopes allow us to work with incredible precision, protecting healthy tooth structure while thoroughly treating the affected area. We also use lasers for disinfection, pain management, and to accelerate healing while reducing inflammation.
After your treatment, we'll provide clear instructions for care at home. Most patients return to their normal activities the next day. We maintain 100% digital patient records, making it easy to track your treatment and share information with your general dentist if needed.
