Blue Lake Endodontics

Blue Lake Endodontics is a dedicated endodontic practice located in Spokane, Washington, at 5901 N Lidgerwood St # 233, 99208. The clinic is led by Dr. Robert N. Gilliam, DMD, an experienced endodontic specialist who received extensive clinical, research, and didactic training during his time in the U.S. Army's Endodontic Training Residency Program. Dr. Gilliam and his expert team are committed to providing the highest standard of professional care in a friendly, clean, and comfortable environment, aiming to change patients' perceptions of root canal therapy. The practice specializes exclusively in endodontic procedures, which focus on treating the inside of the tooth, particularly the pulp and root canals. Their services include: Root Canal Treatment: This is one of their most common procedures, aimed at saving natural teeth by cleaning and sealing infected or damaged root canals. Endodontic Retreatment: For teeth that have previously undergone root canal treatment but have not healed properly or have developed new issues, Dr. Gilliam can perform retreatment to address the problem. Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomy): This surgical procedure is used to locate fractures, treat damaged root surfaces, or address hidden canals that don't appear on X-rays but still cause pain. The most common type is an apicoectomy, which involves removing the tip of the root and sealing the end of the root canal. Management of Cracked Teeth and Root Resorption: They also address complex cases such as cracked teeth and root resorption, a process where the body breaks down and absorbs tissue surrounding a tooth. Blue Lake Endodontics emphasizes patient comfort and education, striving to alleviate dental anxiety by clearly communicating treatment plans and offering sedation options. They utilize state-of-the-art equipment and technology to ensure efficient and effective care. The clinic also works with various insurance plans and offers payment options, including third-party financing like CareCredit, to make specialized endodontic care accessible. Their office hours are Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM and Friday from 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM, with efforts made to accommodate emergency situations promptly.
