Root canal treatment in Temecula, CA
Root Canal Treatment in Temecula
Root canals are done at the Overland Drive office after an exam and X-rays with Dr. Henry Abraham — and with weekday appointments until 7 PM, treatment can follow the working day instead of interrupting it.
25,000+ patients served across our 3 offices
A tooth that aches through the workday can be looked at that evening
A toothache that builds over the afternoon is the classic root canal story, and it rarely picks a convenient day. Anthem Dental - Temecula is open Mon–Fri 10 AM – 7 PM — later than either of our other offices — so the exam and X-rays that show whether the nerve is infected can often happen after work rather than instead of it.
Dr. Henry Abraham reads the X-ray with you and explains whether the tooth can be saved. Routine root canals are then done here, in the same building; a tooth with unusually complicated roots may be referred out when that serves it better, and you will know before treatment starts. There are no weekend hours in Temecula, so if the pain is building on a Friday, call before closing. Questions about the plan and the paperwork can be handled in English or Spanish.

Around the Temecula office
Fitting root canal visits around a working week
A root canal is often finished in one appointment and sometimes needs two, and the crown that usually follows adds two more. With the office open Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 7 PM, a typical sequence looks like this:
- The first visit. An exam and X-ray to find the cause, and relief for the pain.
- The root canal. Booked as soon as the schedule allows — after work, if the appointment length fits.
- Crown preparation. The tooth is shaped and scanned, and a temporary crown goes on.
- Crown fitting. The porcelain crown is tried in, adjusted to your bite and cemented.
If it flares up at the weekend
The Temecula office is closed on Saturday and Sunday. On a Saturday, Anthem's Menifee office books emergency visits; on Sunday no Anthem office is open. For swelling spreading toward the eye or neck, a fever, or any trouble swallowing or breathing, go to the nearest emergency room. For a sudden problem on a weekday, see emergency dentistry in Temecula.
Getting here
Anthem Dental - Temecula is off Overland Drive at 29049 Overland Dr, Suite C, Temecula. Temecula borders Murrieta to the north and has three full interchanges on I-15, the usual way in from Murrieta and Wildomar. Winchester Road, State Route 79, leaves I-15 in the north of the city and runs out to Winchester. Free parking throughout the plaza lot, with accessible spaces near Suite C.
Paying for the tooth and the crown
Both are priced together, in writing, before treatment begins, so the cost of saving the tooth is clear from the start. Your benefits are checked first; CareCredit and Sunbit can spread the balance into monthly payments.
Why the crown matters as much as the root canal
Cleaning out the infected pulp ends the infection, but it leaves the tooth hollowed and more likely to crack under chewing force, a molar especially. That is why a back tooth usually gets a crown soon after its root canal. At the Temecula office the crown takes two appointments: the tooth is shaped and scanned at the first, a temporary crown protects it while the porcelain is made, and the permanent crown is fitted and adjusted to your bite at the second. Until it is on, chew carefully on that side.

FAQ
Root canals in Temecula — your questions, answered.
Can the root canal appointment be after work?
Often, yes. The Temecula office is open Mon–Fri 10 AM – 7 PM, and the front desk will look for a slot after your working day. A longer appointment may need an earlier start, which you will be told when you book.
What if the pain gets worse over the weekend?
The Temecula office is closed on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturdays, Anthem's Menifee office books emergency visits. For swelling that spreads toward the eye or neck, a fever, or trouble breathing or swallowing, go to an emergency room.
Does dental insurance help with a root canal in Temecula?
Many dental plans pay toward a root canal and the crown that follows. Temecula is in-network with most major PPO plans and also takes Medi-Cal Dental (Denti-Cal) and IEHP members' coverage; your benefits are checked and the cost is put in writing before anything starts.
Is the office easy to reach from Murrieta?
Yes. Temecula borders Murrieta to the north and I-15 runs through both, so most patients from Murrieta come down the freeway to the office off Overland Drive.
