ENDODONTICS (ROOT CANALS)
Removing infection for a healthier tooth and a healthier you.
Root canals are notorious for their reputation as a painful dental procedure. However, at Eleven Eleven Dental, we pride ourselves on being different. We utilize modern technology and advanced skills to ensure your root canal is pain-free. Our restorative dentists prioritize your comfort and can provide sedation options if needed.
So, why would you require root canal therapy? The primary cause often stems from an infected interior of the tooth due to severe decay or trauma. Failure to address the infection can result in pain, sensitivity, and potential tooth loss. This procedure can typically be completed in a single visit with minimal recovery time.
When you visit our dentist in Port Angeles for a root canal, rest assured that you are in capable hands. We treat each patient like family, ensuring clear explanations of each treatment step, addressing your inquiries, and creating a comfortable environment for you.
Successful root canals offer long-lasting results and represent a conservative approach to preserving the natural structure of your tooth. You will experience tangible benefits following this swift and effective procedure.
Explore further details on how root canals are performed and their associated benefits below.
Root Canal Therapy
What are the ins and outs of this restorative procedure?
Comprehensive Exam
To begin, your experienced dentist assesses your tooth for damage, infection, and any other issues. If there is a need for a root canal, then we will break down the treatment so you understand each step and we’ll answer all of your questions.
Clean & Disinfect
We prep you for a root canal by numbing the tooth and the surrounding area. Your Port Angeles dentist uses special tools to clean away any decay and then removes the infection from the inside of the tooth (the pulp). He or she then reshapes the root canal to get it ready for a special resin.
Seal & Protect
After the infection has been cleared away, your restorative dentist fills the remaining space with a special resin. This solidifies your tooth structure acting much like a regular dental filling. Your tooth is then restored to its natural function with a tooth-colored filling or crown to blend in with your smile.
Huge shoutout to Dr. Birch and his assistant. Eleven Eleven dental is very flexible, I called last minute regarding a cavity that turned into a tooth ache and Dr. Birch provided care even though I wasn't a prior patient there. In short eleven eleven dental came in clutch and gets the job done.

Always great, especially keeping up w/modern day technology. Went in to have new molds for top/bottom retainers. No more "goo" to cast your teeth for molds. New technology allows patients to get their teeth "scanned" which is remarkably! So glad Dr. Gregory Birch has invested in today's technology. It is awesome

Suffering with decades of dental anxiety I found the perfect space for me. From front office, to support staff, and Dr Birch, I had remarkable care and compassion. Met with smiles, care and options. I was able to have a procedure done with just an injection and hand holding by miss Ryan. I will forever be grateful for the kindness. I have started a new journey towards my dental health. I now realizing, it can be done with less fear and hopefully in the future, none. The clinic is beautiful and clean.

I am so thankful to Dr Birch and his staff at 1111 Dental. I cracked a tooth and by Sunday following Thanksgiving in severe pain Dr Birch called in a prescription. Then squeezed me in early Monday for exam. Shows how much he cares about his patients. My appreciation to all.

Incredibly impressed with 1111 Dental. My family of 4 have been going here for almost 5 years (I'm finally leaving a much deserved review.) The office staff, hygienists, and doctors- 10 stars out of 10. If you have young children I absolutely recommend coming here. My 7 year old wants to become a dentist one day because she loves going to this Dentist- that says a lot. Dr Carlile and Dr. Birch are fantastic.

I really don’t care for going to the dentist. My dad took me to see marathon man when I was about eight years old. Watch the dentist scene in that… It’s enough to terrorize anyone. Either way, today the nitrous didn’t work on me at all. I’m undergoing some medical stuff and I take a lot of therapies, and I figure that’s what blocked it out. The good news is this… Edith was my hygienist or dentist today… I don’t know which one she is. I don’t know if she’s got a tiny hands or what, but she did not cause one bit of pain during my visit, and trust me, there was a lot for them to clean up. I think she actually found a whole chicken wing between two of my molars. I can write all sorts of drivel, but the fact is she did something nobody else has done, which is literally no pain dentistry without any anesthesia whatsoever. I was amazed, every other time I’ve not had nitrous it’s just been really difficult for me. Not today, so much so I may just save the 60 bucks and not get nitrous next time. oh, I left one thing out: due to the medical treatment and therapy my mouth, tongue, nose, anything with the mucous membrane is really sensitive. Didn’t matter. No pain. If somebody wants to make a good investment, and if she’s interested, consider paying her way through dental school, I think she’s a hygienist,, but she’d make one hell of a good dentist if she’s not one already. I have to go drink whiskey and smoke a Marloboro...it’s what I do, I’m an American. thanks for reading 🙂

1111 Dental is such a great place! The setting on the bluff overlooking the Port Angeles Harbor is breathtaking. The people are so friendly and both Dr Birch and Dr Carlisle are super good at what they do. The equipment is very modern and the place is exceptionally clean and inviting. The dental hygienists that I have worked with are excellent. My newest hygienist, Edith is my all time favorite. She is gentle, precise, and very good to at what she does. Thanks to everyone involved with 1111 Dental.

First time at this dentist office and so very pleased with my appointment. Dr. Carlisle was so kind and professional, as well as his assistant and the front end staff. I have never had any good experiences at dentist offices before, so this was the first. The office itself is is very clean and inviting. I will definitely be recommending this office in the future. Many thank you's to Dr. Carlisle also, best dentist ever.

I'm relatively new to the area and chose 1111 Dentistry based on recommendations from co-workers. I had my first filling done by Dr. Carlisle this morning and I am extremely happy with his work! The filling was quick and painless, and there was a cool kite collection on the ceiling to admire while work was underway. Now that the numbing has worn off I can tell he made sure the filling jives well with my bite. The staff here is very professional and friendly. Until moving here I had the same dentist my entire adult life and was concerned about finding a new one. I feel very lucky to have landed here and know my teeth are in good hands!

I am not an easy dental patient. Between sinus irritation and esophageal irritation, I am constantly trying not to gag, and despite my best efforts, failing most of the time.I've been going to 1111 Dental for a little over a year now with Edith as my hygienist. During my visits, I have felt nothing but compassion and honest patience (zero condescension!) for the entire cleaning visit. Even though I'm quite positive I'm screwing up her schedule for the afternoon with me needing to go slower.I'm one of those silly "Don't give out 5 stars" people so I can save 5 stars for the truly exceptional places. 1111 Dental earned every bit of it.

This dental office is the best! Dr. Birch did an amazing job on my root canal. My mouth isn't sore or tender AT ALL! Side note: I'm THEE biggest baby with dental work. I hate the thought of it hurting at all, even a tiny bit. Dr.Birch made sure I was comfortable the whole time and didn't feel a thing. Thankful that I found a great dentist in the area! 11 11 Dental is the best!!

In my decades of receiving dental care, Carrie is the best hygienist I’ve experienced. She’s very professional and explains all the phases of the treatment process. She goes out of her way to make sure you don’t experience any pain. She really creates a positive experience! 👍👍Insurance companies are cutting back on what they cover so you probably want to check with your insurance, if you’re cost conscious. Find out exactly what you’re scheduled for and call your insurance company first.

Saturday evening one of my crowns fell out, new to the area without a local dentist I called Eleven Eleven first thing Monday morning since Dr. Carlisle was recommended by my daughter who is a practicing dentist out of Portland. I went in at noon and after a brief exam Dr. Carlisle cemented the crown in indicating it should be good for another 20 to 30 years. This was a very pleasant experience with a good result at a very reasonable cost.

I just had my teeth cleaned and it was the best experience I’ve ever had at a cleaning. I have very sensitive teeth and normally jump out of the chair a few times. The hygienist used ultrasonic cleaning and there was no pain. I highly recommend Carrie.

Effective & Painless
Root canals like you never thought possible.
Nowadays root canals are as routine as a dental filling and can be performed with very little discomfort (if any!). However, the benefits are amazing as your infected tooth can be returned to its former glory. You’ll be back to eating your favorite foods and smiling for selfies in no time!
Here are a few benefits of a successful root canal:
- Restores chewing and bite functionality
- Removes infection and pain
- Maintains your natural appearance
- Preserves your natural tooth
- Protects your tooth from future dental problems
The aftercare for this procedure is very simple – you just need to adhere to a solid daily hygiene routine. Through brushing and flossing you can prevent future root canal treatment and maintain a healthy smile. Don’t forget to visit our Facebook!
